This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X675U — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X675U 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 MAL32X675U
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X675U is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 675mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X675U, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X675U
The AirTAC MAL32X675U is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and a 675mm stroke. Because this stroke exceeds the 500mm standard limit, it was produced as a made-to-order item. It delivers 402N of push force and 346N of pull force at 0.5MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X675U, which matches the bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and mounting layout exactly. Buyers should order the MBL equivalent for new builds or direct repairs.
This legacy unit features a U flat-end back cover for rigid rear mounting and uses a PT tapered port thread. Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept a position sensor. The MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body for equally robust performance. Both generations rely on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts rather than an adjustable air cushion.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X675U 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 MBL32X675U 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 MAL32X675U Is Used
Pallet Push-Off Station
Uses the 675mm stroke to push empty pallets sideways off a packaging conveyor, requiring the 402N push force at 0.5MPa to overcome carton friction.
PCB Router Depaneling
Extends a routing head across a wide 675mm printed circuit board panel, relying on the rigid U flat-end back cover to keep the 12mm rod aligned during the long cut.
Long-Stroke Carton Transfer
Transfers filled cartons between parallel roller lanes, where the 675mm extension bridges the gap and the 346N pull force retracts the pusher arm reliably.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X675U with MBL32X675U
To replace the MAL32X675U, order the MBL32X675U. Confirm your 32mm bore, 675mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and U flat-end back cover before installing. Because the 675mm stroke is non-standard, verify the exact extended length with the manufacturer datasheet. If your application requires an adjustable air cushion for heavy moving masses, step up to the current MBLC line, as the MAL bumper cannot be tuned. Furthermore, a plain cylinder does not hold a load when air pressure is lost—the rod will drift—so add an external pilot-operated check valve if vertical positioning is required.
When sizing, you can step down to the 25mm bore for lighter loads (245N push at 0.5MPa) or step up to the 40mm bore for heavier forces (628N push at 0.5MPa). At 675mm of extension, the 12mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. You must use an external linear guide or a pivot mount to prevent rod damage and premature seal wear.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X675U (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 MBL32X675U instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X675U FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X675U is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X675U, which shares the same 32mm bore, 675mm stroke, force, G1/8 port, and U flat-end mounting. The MBL body uses a riveted rolling-packed construction instead of the older threaded covers, but the performance ratings are identical.
At 0.5MPa it provides 402N push and 346N pull force. At 0.7MPa the push force is 563N, with a theoretical maximum of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. If you need position detection, order the MBL32X675S replacement, which uses the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switch family instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M sensors.
