This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X700-CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X700-CA 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 MAL32X700-CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X700-CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 700mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X700-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X700-CA
The AirTAC MAL32X700-CA is a discontinued double-acting compact aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 700mm stroke. It delivers 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa, utilizing a G1/8 port and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread. Because the 700mm length exceeds the 500mm standard maximum, this unit was produced as a made-to-order item. The direct drop-in replacement is the MBL32X700-CA, which matches the bore, stroke, output force, port size, and CA pivot mounting exactly.
This legacy CA pivot model features a clevis back cover designed to swing on a pin, accommodating arcing loads rather than rigidly binding the rod. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. This specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot accept a CS1-M or DS1-M position sensor. If sensing is required on the new MBL, you would add the -S option and use the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switch families.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X700-CA 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 MBL32X700-CA 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 MAL32X700-CA Is Used
Textile Loom Beam Lifting
Uses the CA pivot to swing heavy textile beams into looms, relying on the 402N push force at 0.5MPa while accommodating the angular arcing motion the long 700mm stroke requires.
Pallet Transfer Arm
Actuates a 700mm swing arm to diverter pallets between parallel conveyor lanes, where the pivot bracket prevents rod binding and the fixed rubber bumper absorbs the end-of-stroke impact.
Warehouse Pusher Mechanism
Pushes cartons into sorting chutes using the 346N pull force to retract the 700mm rod, requiring an external guide rail to prevent the 12mm rod from bending under the carton weight.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X700-CA with MBL32X700-CA
To replace the MAL32X700-CA, order the MBL32X700-CA. Confirm the 32mm bore, 700mm non-standard stroke, G1/8 port, PT tapered thread, and the CA pivot back cover. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support a position sensor; if you need end-of-stroke detection on the replacement, specify MBL32X700-S-CA and upgrade to a CMSG or DMSG switch. The MAL relies on a fixed rubber bumper, so if your application requires an adjustable air cushion to soften the impact at the end of this long stroke, step up to the MBLC32X700-CA variant on the current line.
At 700mm, the 12mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. You must use the CA pivot to allow arcing movement, or install an external guide rail. A plain cylinder will not hold its load if air pressure drops, so add an external rod lock for safety-critical holding. For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 245N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 628N push at 0.5MPa.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X700-CA (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 MBL32X700-CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X700-CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X700-CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X700-CA, which offers the same 32mm bore, 700mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. The MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the threaded covers found on the MAL.
The full figure set for the 32mm bore is: 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa, 563N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor; adding a magnet to the MBL replacement enables the use of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
