This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X700-S-CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X700-S-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-S-CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X700-S-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-S-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X700-S-CA
The AirTAC MAL32X700-S-CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and a 700mm non-standard made-to-order stroke. It delivers 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa, featuring a built-in magnet and a CA pivot back cover. AirTAC replaced it with the MBL32X700-S-CA, a drop-in upgrade retaining the exact same force, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread and CA clevis mounting.
This legacy unit uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. The -S magnet on this MAL works with older CS1-M / DS1-M switches; the MBL replacement uses current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. It relies on a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion, and its 12mm carbon-steel rod with 20um hard chrome uses a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X700-S-CA Technical Specifications

| 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 |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 500 mm |
Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X700-S-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-S-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-S-CA Is Used
Textile Loom Beam Indexing
Drives a 700mm indexing stroke on a weaving loom, using the CA pivot to absorb frame misalignment while applying 402N of push force at 0.5MPa.
Packaging Carton Reject Arm
Extends a long reject arm over a packaging conveyor, where the 346N pull force at 0.5MPa retracts the diverter and the magnet tracks position for CS1-M sensors.
Warehouse Vertical Tray Pusher
Pushes inventory trays between shelving levels, relying on the 563N push force at 0.7MPa to overcome friction across the 700mm travel distance.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X700-S-CA with MBL32X700-S-CA
To replace this MAL, order the MBL32X700-S-CA. Verify your PT tapered port, the CA pivot back cover (which swings on a pin for arcing loads), and prepare to upgrade your CS1-M / DS1-M sensors to the CMSG / DMSG / EMSG family. If you need adjustable end-cushioning for this 700mm stroke, step up to the MBLC variant, as the MAL only has a fixed rubber bumper.
For sizing, the neighbouring 25mm bore gives 245N push at 0.5MPa, while the 40mm bore yields 628N push at 0.5MPa. A 700mm stroke on a 12mm rod demands strict side-load management; use the CA pivot to absorb misalignment or add an external guide rail. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X700-S-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-S-CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X700-S-CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X700-S-CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X700-S-CA, which matches the 32mm bore, 700mm stroke, G1/8 port, CA pivot cover and force. You must upgrade your switches from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors.
At 0.5MPa it provides 402N push and 346N pull; at 0.7MPa it provides 563N push, with a maximum theoretical force of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion; for adjustable air cushioning, use the MBLC replacement.
