This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X65CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X65CM 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 MAL32X65CM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X65CM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 65mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X65CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X65CM
The AirTAC MAL32X65CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Because this legacy series has ended, the direct drop-in replacement is the MBL32X65CM, which matches the 32 mm bore, 65 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end back cover exactly.
This SKU features a CM round-end back cover suited for angular alignment, and because it lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. Both rely on a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion.

| 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 MBL32X65CM 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 MBL32X65CM 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 MAL32X65CM Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Provides the 402 N push force needed to plunge a router bit into populated PCB panels without deflecting the 12 mm rod.
Bottle Sorting Diverter
Uses the 65 mm stroke to push lightweight plastic bottles into a secondary packaging lane with rapid 30-800 mm/s actuation.
Carton Flap Folder
Relies on the CM round-end back cover to accommodate slight angular misalignment while tucking minor flaps on small cartons.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X65CM with MBL32X65CM
To replace the MAL32X65CM, order the MBL32X65CM. Confirm your 65 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT thread form. This non-magnet SKU cannot support a sensor; if you need position detection, step up to an MBL32X65CMS and note that the modern MBL uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M family. If you need an adjustable air cushion rather than a fixed rubber bumper, look at the MBLC equivalent.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to a 25 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 245 N, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore increases it to 628 N. Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure drops; add an external rod lock for vertical safety.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X65CM (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 MBL32X65CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X65CM FAQ
