This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X625SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X625SCA in place of this model. The MBL replacement upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensor switches (the MAL used CS1-M / DS1-M).
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X625SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X625SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 625mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X625SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X625SCA
The AirTAC MAL32X625SCA is a discontinued, double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and a 625mm made-to-order stroke. It delivers 402N of push force and 346N of pull force at 0.5MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL32X625SCA, a drop-in alternative retaining the exact same bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. The 625mm stroke exceeds the 500mm standard limit, classifying it as a non-standard special order.
Two critical engineering details define this specific SKU. First, the CA pivot back cover is designed to swing on a pin, accommodating arcing loads which is essential for safely managing the leverage generated by a 625mm extended rod. Second, the original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, the -S magnet on this legacy cylinder pairs with older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches, while the MBL successor transitions to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X625SCA carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
The MBL32X625SCA produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X625SCA Is Used
Textile Loom Beam Indexing
Uses the 625mm stroke to shift heavy fabric beams between processing stations, relying on the 402N push force and CA pivot to absorb frame misalignment during long travel.
Packaging Line Pallet Diverting
Pushes corrugated pallets across a transfer zone with 346N pull force, where the CA clevis mounting accommodates the arcing push-off motion without binding the rod.
PCB Conveyor Width Adjustment
Actuates guide rails on an SMT line to accept wider board formats, using the built-in -S magnet and CS1-M sensors to confirm the full 625mm extension position.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X625SCA with MBL32X625SCA
To replace the MAL32X625SCA, order the MBL32X625SCA, confirming the 32mm bore, 625mm non-standard stroke, PT thread, and CA pivot back cover are retained. Because the 625mm stroke is highly extended, the 12mm carbon-steel rod with hard-chrome plating has low side-load tolerance; you must use an external guide rail to prevent rod bending. The CA clevis naturally helps absorb angular misalignment during this long travel. If your application requires an adjustable air cushion rather than the fixed rubber bumper found on the MAL, step up to the MBLC32 series on the current line.
For sizing flexibility, step down to the 25mm bore (delivering 245N push at 0.5MPa) for lighter loads, or step up to the 40mm bore (providing 628N push at 0.5MPa and a larger G1/4 port) if you need more force. Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold its position when air pressure is lost; the bumper only softens end-of-stroke impact. For vertical loads, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X625SCA (same bore/stroke/force)
- ✓ Same G1/8 port and mounting accessories
- ✓ Sensor: swap CS1-M/DS1-M → CMSG/DMSG/EMSG
- ✓ Need a cushion? use MBLC (adjustable air cushion)
- ✓ Confirm back cover (CA / U) and thread (PT/NPT/G)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.1 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Front/rear covers are threaded — not intended for field disassembly.
- check Use the correct mounting accessory (LB / FA / SDB) and back cover (CA / U / CM).
- check For new builds, specify the MBL32X625SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X625SCA FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X625SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X625SCA, matching the 32mm bore, 625mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot. The MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers, and if your old unit has a magnet, you must upgrade from CS1-M/DS1-M switches to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
At 0.5MPa, the push force is 402N and the pull force is 346N. At 0.7MPa, the push force increases to 563N. The maximum theoretical force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa. Note that the 625mm stroke is a non-standard made-to-order length exceeding the 500mm standard maximum.
