This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X70CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X70CM 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 MAL32X70CM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X70CM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 70mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X70CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X70CM
The AirTAC MAL32X70CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 70mm stroke. It delivers 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5 MPa through a G1/8 port. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X70CM, matching the force, stroke, and CM round-end mounting.
This legacy unit features a fixed rubber bumper and a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining seal. Without a -S code, this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept a position sensor. The newer MBL swaps the threaded covers for a riveted body and supports modern CMSG switches.

| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |
| 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 |

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X70CM 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 MBL32X70CM 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 MAL32X70CM Is Used
Bottle Capper Diverter
Uses the 402N push force at 0.5 MPa on a packaging line to pivot a guide rail and divert glass bottles into the capping station.
Textile Loom Gate
Actuates a yarn tensioning gate via the CM round-end pivot, relying on the 70mm stroke to clear the weaving mechanism.
Small Press Ejector
Kicks stamped aluminum micro-casing parts out of a 32mm bore die fixture using the 346N pull force to retract the pin.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X70CM with MBL32X70CM
To replace the MAL32X70CM, order the MBL32X70CM. Verify the 32mm bore, 70mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT thread. The CM round-end back cover must be retained for your joint linkage. Since this SKU lacks an -S magnet, it cannot hold a sensor; if detection is needed, upgrade to an MBL32X70CMS and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-M. If you need adjustable end-cushioning, step up to the MBLC variant, as the MAL only has a fixed rubber bumper.
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. The 12mm carbon-steel rod handles moderate loads, but a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for strict position holding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X70CM (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 MBL32X70CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X70CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X70CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X70CM, which matches the 32mm bore, 70mm stroke, 402N force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end cover. The MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the older threaded covers.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 402N push and 346N pull, and 563N push at 0.7 MPa, with a max theoretical force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor; the MBL-S equivalent uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
