This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X700CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X700CM 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 MAL32X700CM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X700CM 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 MBL32X700CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X700CM
The AirTAC MAL32X700CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum 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 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X700CM, matching the force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end back cover. This legacy model features a fixed rubber bumper and a carbon-steel rod with a 20um hard chrome plating, guided by a self-lubricating front-cover bearing.
A key upgrade in the MBL successor is the shift from threaded front and back covers to a riveted rolling-packed body. This specific CM round-end variant lacks a built-in magnet (-S), meaning it cannot accept any position sensor. If end-of-stroke cushioning is inadequate, the current MBLC line offers an adjustable air cushion absent from the original MAL design.

| 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 MBL32X700CM 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 MBL32X700CM 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 MAL32X700CM Is Used
Packaging Conveyor Diverter
Uses the 402N push force at 0.5 MPa to deflect cartons on a packaging line, leveraging the 700mm stroke to reach across a wide transport belt.
Textile Loom Guide
Moves a yarn guide carriage back and forth across the weaving bed, where the CM round-end allows slight angular self-alignment to reduce rod binding.
Warehouse Storage Extractor
Extracts tote bins from deep storage racks, requiring the full 700mm extension and the 346N pull force to safely retract the empty container.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X700CM with MBL32X700CM
To replace the MAL32X700CM, order the MBL32X700CM, ensuring the 700mm made-to-order stroke, G1/8 port, and PT thread form are retained. The CM round-end back cover must be specified on the new unit. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support a CS1-M or DS1-M sensor; if position detection is now required, upgrade to an MBL32X700SCM and use the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The fixed rubber bumper is not adjustable; for impact control at this stroke length, step up to the MBLC variant.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 245N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 628N push at 0.5 MPa. At 700mm, the 12mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; an external guide rail or a pivot mounting is mandatory to prevent premature seal failure. Remember that a plain MAL or MBL cylinder does not hold its position when air pressure is lost, so a pilot-operated check valve is required for load-holding applications.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X700CM (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 MBL32X700CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X700CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL series is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X700CM, which matches the 32mm bore, 700mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end back cover. The MBL uses a modern riveted rolling-packed body instead of the older threaded covers.
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 402N push and 346N pull; at 0.7 MPa it provides 563N push, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor like the CS1-M or DS1-M.
