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

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-CM
The AirTAC MAL32X75-CM 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 0.5MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL32X75-CM, a drop-in alternative retaining the exact same G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and CM round-end back cover.
This specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot accept position sensors. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. The piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, running on a carbon-steel rod with 20um hard-chrome plating guided by a self-lubricating front-cover bearing.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-CM Technical Specifications

| Acting type | Double acting |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| 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 |
| Cushion | Fixed rubber bumper |

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X75-CM 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-CM 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-CM Is Used
PCB Conveyor Diverter
Pushes routing gates on a conveyor belt handling printed circuit boards, utilizing the 75mm stroke and 402N push force to redirect panels without crushing delicate components.
Connector Insertion Press
Provides the steady downward force needed to seat ribbon cable connectors into housing slots, relying on the self-lubricating bearing guide to keep the 12mm rod straight during insertion.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds minor flaps on small pharmaceutical cartons just prior to sealing, where the compact 32mm round body fits neatly between the side folding belts.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-CM with MBL32X75-CM
To replace the MAL32X75-CM, order the MBL32X75-CM, ensuring you keep the PT tapered port thread and the CM round-end back cover. Because this configuration has no -S magnet, you cannot mount a sensor; if position detection is needed, upgrade to an MBL32X75S-CM and use the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the obsolete CS1-M/DS1-M. If sizing down, the 25mm bore provides 245N push at 0.5MPa; if sizing up, the 40mm bore offers 628N push and steps up to a G1/4 port. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, but for adjustable cushioning, you must step to the MBLC line. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so use an external rod lock for suspended loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X75-CM (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-CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X75-CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X75-CM, which matches the 32mm bore, 75mm stroke, 402N force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end cover. The main physical change is that the MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the MAL's threaded covers.
At 0.5MPa it pushes with 402N and pulls with 346N; at 0.7MPa it pushes 563N, with a maximum theoretical force of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CS1-M or DS1-M position sensors.
