This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X630CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X630CA 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 MAL32X630CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X630CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 630mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X630CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X630CA
The AirTAC MAL32X630CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 630mm stroke. Because 630mm exceeds the 500mm standard limit, this is a made-to-order length. It delivers 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa using a G1/8 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL32X630CA, a drop-in alternative retaining the exact bore, stroke, force, port, and CA pivot mounting.
This SKU lacks a -S magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MAL uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Both share a fixed rubber bumper, but if adjustable cushioning is required for this long stroke, the MBLC variant on the current line is the correct upgrade path.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X630CA Technical Specifications

| Acting type | Double acting |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.1 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed rubber bumper |

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X630CA 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 MBL32X630CA 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 MAL32X630CA Is Used
Textile Loom Let-off
Drives the tensioning arm on a weaving loom, using the 630mm stroke to pay out warp yarn as the CA pivot absorbs the beam's rotational arc.
Pallet Push-off Diverter
Ejects packaged cartons from a flat belt line, where the 402N force at 0.5MPa provides adequate push without damaging the corrugated board.
Filtration Chamber Sweep
Actuates a long-travel scraper blade across a water treatment filter bed, relying on the 630mm extension to clear the full basin width.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X630CA with MBL32X630CA
To replace the MAL32X630CA, order the MBL32X630CA. Confirm the PT thread, the CA pivot back cover, and the lack of an -S magnet before ordering. Because this SKU has no magnet, a position sensor cannot be mounted; if detection is needed, switch to an MBL32X630SCA and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M. If sizing down, the 25mm bore offers 245N push at 0.5MPa; if stepping up, the 40mm bore provides 628N push. At 630mm, the 12mm rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending; the CA pivot is mandatory to absorb arcing loads, but an external guide is strongly recommended. The fixed rubber bumper is not an adjustable cushion, and neither the MAL nor MBL holds position without air—a pilot-operated check valve is required for load holding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X630CA (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 MBL32X630CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X630CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL series is end-of-life. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X630CA. It matches the 32mm bore, 630mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. The MBL uses a riveted body instead of the MAL's threaded covers, but ratings remain identical.
The 32mm bore uses a G1/8 port and a 12mm rod with an M10x1.25 thread. At 0.5MPa it provides 402N push and 346N pull. At 0.7MPa it provides 563N push. The maximum theoretical force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa.
