This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X725CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X725CA 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 MAL32X725CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X725CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 725mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X725CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X725CA
The AirTAC MAL32X725CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. Because the 725 mm stroke exceeds the 500 mm standard limit, this unit was a made-to-order configuration. It delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X725CA, which matches the 32 mm bore, 725 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting exactly.
This legacy SKU features a CA pivot back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads, which is critical for a 725 mm stroke. The original MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, meaning it cannot accept a position sensor.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X725CA 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 MBL32X725CA 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 MAL32X725CA Is Used
Textile Loom Let-Off
Drives the let-off mechanism on textile looms where the 725 mm stroke maintains tension across fabric beams, utilizing the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Pallet Transfer Pusher
Indexes pallets between processing stations, relying on the CA pivot back cover to absorb arcing loads during the long 725 mm extension cycle.
PCB Stacker Lift
Elevates printed circuit boards in a multi-tier stacking carousel, where the compact 32 mm aluminum body fits tight machine frames while providing 346 N of pull force.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X725CA with MBL32X725CA
To replace the MAL32X725CA, order the MBL32X725CA. Verify your PT port thread, the CA pivot back cover, and the 725 mm made-to-order stroke. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support a sensor; if you need position detection, step up to an MBL32X725SCA, which uses the modern CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M / DS1-M sensors. If 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa is too much, step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push); if you need more force, step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push). The MAL uses a fixed rubber bumper; for an adjustable air cushion, switch to the MBLC line. A 725 mm stroke on a Ø12 mm rod has low side-load tolerance, so an external guide or the CA pivot is mandatory to prevent rod bending. A plain cylinder does not hold its load when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for safety.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X725CA (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 MBL32X725CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X725CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X725CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X725CA, offering the same 32 mm bore, 725 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
The bore is 32 mm with a G1/8 port and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread. It provides 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at 0.1-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
