This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X75-CA-SDB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X75-CA-SDB 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 MAL32X75-CA-SDB
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-CA-SDB 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-SDB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-CA-SDB
The AirTAC MAL32X75-CA-SDB is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 75mm stroke. It delivers 402N of push force and 346N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X75-CA-SDB, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and SDB mounting. Buyers should order the MBL equivalent to keep their equipment running.
This legacy SKU features a CA pivot clevis back cover paired with an SDB pivot bracket, allowing the body to swing on a pin to absorb arcing loads. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this specific configuration lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept a position sensor. The cylinder relies on a fixed rubber bumper at the end of stroke, not an adjustable air cushion.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X75-CA-SDB 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 MBL32X75-CA-SDB 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 MAL32X75-CA-SDB Is Used
Textile Loom Tensioning
Provides 402N of push force at 0.5 MPa to pivot a yarn guide arm; the CA clevis and SDB bracket absorb the repetitive arcing motion without binding the rod.
Package Sorting Diverter
Uses the 75mm stroke to push lightweight cardboard cartons off a main conveyor belt, relying on the self-lubricating front-cover bearing to handle rapid 30-800 mm/s cycling.
Bottle Capping Head
Lowers a capping chuck onto plastic bottles, where the fixed rubber bumper prevents harsh mechanical slamming at the bottom of the 75mm extension.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-CA-SDB with MBL32X75-CA-SDB
To replace the MAL32X75-CA-SDB, order the MBL32X75-CA-SDB. Confirm your 32mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT thread form. You must retain the CA pivot back cover and SDB pivot bracket to maintain your existing clevis mounting. Since this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support a sensor; if you need position detection, upgrade to an MBL32X75S model and switch to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impact, but if your application requires adjustable cushioning, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line.
When sizing, verify if 32mm is optimal. Stepping down to the 25mm bore drops your 0.5 MPa push force to 245N, while stepping up to the 40mm bore increases it to 628N and upgrades the port to G1/4. A plain MAL or MBL cylinder does not hold its load when air pressure is lost—the rod will drift. If your mechanism requires locked positioning during an air failure, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X75-CA-SDB (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 MBL32X75-CA-SDB instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-CA-SDB FAQ
Yes, the MAL series is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X75-CA-SDB. It provides the same 32mm bore, 75mm stroke, force output, G1/8 port, and CA/SDB pivot mounting. The main physical change is that the MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the older MAL threaded covers.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402N and the pull force is 346N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 563N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Note that because this specific SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept CS1-M or DS1-M position sensors.
