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

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-S-CA
The AirTAC MAL32X75-S-CA is a discontinued double-acting compact aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa via a 32 mm bore and 75 mm stroke. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X75-S-CA, matching the bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting.
This legacy SKU features a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing, originally designed for the older CS1-M and DS1-M switches. When upgrading to the MBL equivalent, you must migrate to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family. Additionally, the original MAL relied on threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body for enhanced structural integrity. Both generations use a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease and a carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard chrome plating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X75-S-CA 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 | — |

Where the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-S-CA Is Used
PCB Router Z-Axis Gantry
Actuates a fine-pitch routing spindle on a printed circuit board depaneling machine, where the 402 N push force cleanly breaks through 1.6 mm FR4 substrate.
Pallet Diverter Arm
Swings a diverter gate on a packaging conveyor using the CA pivot back cover, allowing the clevis to absorb arcing loads while deflecting cartons at 30-800 mm/s.
Tray Stacker Ejector
Pushes empty plastic injection-molded trays out of a stacking magazine, utilizing the 75 mm stroke and the self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide to prevent stick-slip.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-S-CA with MBL32X75-S-CA
To replace the MAL32X75-S-CA, order the MBL32X75-S-CA. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, PT thread form, G1/8 port, and the CA pivot back cover. The -S magnet means you must update your sensors from the legacy CS1-M / DS1-M to the modern CMSG / DMSG / EMSG series. If your application requires end-of-stroke deceleration, note that the MAL only has a fixed rubber bumper; you should step up to the current MBLC series for an adjustable air cushion.
For sizing flexibility, you can step down to the 25 mm bore neighbor (providing 245 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) if you need more force. Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold its load when air pressure is lost; the rod will drift. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position holding is critical.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X75-S-CA (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-S-CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-S-CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X75-S-CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X75-S-CA, which matches the 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, CA pivot cover, and output force. You will need to update your position sensors from the old CS1-M / DS1-M switches to the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG family.
The 32 mm bore generates 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 on filtered air at 0.1-1.0 MPa, runs at 30-800 mm/s, and uses a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion.
