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

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X700-S-CM
The AirTAC MAL32X700-S-CM is a discontinued double-acting mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and a 700mm stroke. Because 700mm exceeds the 500mm standard maximum, this unit was a made-to-order configuration delivering 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa. AirTAC's direct drop-in replacement is the MBL32X700-S-CM, which matches the original's force, G1/8 port, rod, and mounting footprint exactly.
This legacy SKU features a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection and a CM round-end back cover. The older MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body for equal rigidity. Additionally, the -S magnet on this discontinued unit interfaces with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches, while the MBL successor upgrades to current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X700-S-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 MBL32X700-S-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 MAL32X700-S-CM Is Used
PCB Shuttle Extraction
Uses the 402N push force at 0.5MPa to eject populated printed circuit board shuttles from a wave soldering conveyor over a 700mm travel distance.
Pallet Transfer Arm
The CM round-end pivots smoothly to push lightweight aluminum pallets between parallel belt conveyors without binding on the long 700mm extension.
Carton Sorting Diverter
Actuates a 700mm sweeping arm to divert small packaged goods into secondary packaging lanes, relying on the 346N pull force to retract the arm.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X700-S-CM with MBL32X700-S-CM
To replace this MAL, order the MBL32X700-S-CM. Verify your layout accepts the PT thread form, G1/8 port, and the CM round-end back cover, which is specifically designed to pivot and accommodate slight misalignment. If you need to step down force, the 25mm bore neighbor provides 245N push at 0.5MPa; to step up, the 40mm bore yields 628N push. Note that the 700mm stroke on a 12mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads, so an external guide rail or a pivot mounting is mandatory to prevent seal failure.
Because this is a 700mm special-order stroke, ensure the new MBL is built to match. The original MAL relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts; it is not an adjustable cushion, so if your 700mm travel generates too much kinetic energy, specify the MBLC variant on the current line for adjustable air cushioning. Furthermore, neither the old MAL nor the new MBL will hold a load if air pressure drops—they drift—so add an external pilot-operated check valve if position holding is critical.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X700-S-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 MBL32X700-S-CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X700-S-CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X700-S-CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X700-S-CM, which preserves the 32mm bore, 700mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end mounting. The modern MBL body uses a riveted rolling-packed assembly instead of the older threaded covers, and its magnet requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors instead of the legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches.
This 32mm bore cylinder has a G1/8 port and a 12mm rod. At 0.5MPa it provides 402N push and 346N pull; at 0.7MPa the push force is 563N. The maximum theoretical force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa. Because the 700mm stroke exceeds the 500mm standard, it is a non-standard made-to-order configuration.
