This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X650-CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X650-CM 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 MAL32X650-CM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X650-CM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 650mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X650-CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X650-CM
The AirTAC MAL32X650-CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. Featuring a 32mm bore and a 650mm stroke, this made-to-order unit delivers 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa. It uses a G1/8 port, an M10x1.25 rod thread, and a CM round-end back cover. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot support a position sensor. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X650-CM, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and mounting.
The legacy MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the MBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. Both share a fixed rubber bumper and a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide. The carbon-steel rod has 20um hard chrome plating, and the piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease for long service life.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X650-CM 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 MBL32X650-CM 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 MAL32X650-CM Is Used
PCB Conveyor Diverter
Pushes populated circuit boards between inspection lanes using 402N of force over a 650mm travel distance.
Carton Sorting Gate
Actuates a 650mm routing flap in packaging lines, relying on the CM round-end cover to absorb minor alignment shifts.
Textile Beam Indexer
Shifts loom beams laterally across a creel, using the 346N pull force to reposition heavy fabric rolls.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X650-CM with MBL32X650-CM
To replace the MAL32X650-CM, order the MBL32X650-CM. Verify your G1/8 port, PT thread, and CM round-end back cover. This non-magnet SKU cannot accept a sensor; if you need position detection, step up to an MBL32X650-CMS and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M. If you need adjustable cushioning rather than a fixed bumper, look at the MBLC variant. If sizing down, the 25mm bore offers 245N push at 0.5MPa; sizing up, the 40mm bore provides 628N push.
At 650mm, side-load tolerance is critical. The 12mm rod is prone to bending under offset loads, so use an external guide rail or a pivot mount. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock for position holding. The fixed rubber bumper only softens end-of-stroke impact.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X650-CM (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 MBL32X650-CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X650-CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X650-CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X650-CM, which matches the 32mm bore, 650mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end cover.
At 0.5MPa it delivers 402N push and 346N pull; at 0.7MPa push is 563N, with a max of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. This specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor; the -S version uses CS1-M/DS1-M switches, while the MBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
