This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X75-CA-H — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X75-CA-H 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).

The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-CA-H is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 75mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X75-CA-H, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL32X75-CA-H is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X75-CA-H, matching the 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. The legacy MAL body relies on threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body for equally robust performance.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot back cover, designed to swing on a pin and safely absorb arcing loads throughout the stroke. Because this configuration lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot accept a position sensor. Internally, a heterogeneous two-way seal retains grease against the hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod, while the self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide maintains smooth travel.

The MBL32X75-CA-H 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.

Guides yarn tensioning arms with a 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, utilizing the CA pivot bracket to accommodate the swinging arc of the fabric feed mechanism.
Actuates a routing gate on a 75 mm stroke to push parcels between sorting lanes, relying on the self-lubricating bearing to handle rapid 30-800 mm/s cycling.
Shifts filled beverage crates from a palletizer bed, where the 346 N pull force reliably retracts the 12 mm rod despite the inverted load orientation.
To replace the MAL32X75-CA-H, order the MBL32X75-CA-H. It is a true drop-in upgrade: verify your 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and CA clevis pivot. Since this SKU has no -S magnet, you cannot mount a sensor; if position detection is needed, order an MBL32X75S-CA-H and migrate to the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switch family (the older CS1-M / DS1-M sensors are retired). If your load drifts when air is lost, note that the fixed rubber bumper is not a lock—you will need an external rod lock.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires adjustable end-cushioning to absorb kinetic energy, the fixed bumper on this unit cannot be tuned; instead, specify the MBLC32X75-CA-H from the current catalog.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL series is end-of-life. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X75-CA-H. It matches the 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design but retains the same output force and dimensions.
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 402 N push and 346 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 563 N, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping; if you need adjustable air cushioning, you must step up to the MBLC equivalent.
