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

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-U
The AirTAC MAL32X75-U is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 75mm stroke. It delivers 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa using a G1/8 port. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X75-U, matching the bore, stroke, output force, port, and flat-end rear cover.
This legacy SKU features a U flat-end back cover for rigid mounting, a 12mm carbon-steel rod with 20um hard chrome, and a self-lubricating bearing guide. Because this specific model lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. The older MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts but does not lock the rod.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-U 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-U 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-U 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-U Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Drives a linear blade or router fixture on an electronics assembly line, using the 402N push force at 0.5MPa to cleanly shear separator panels.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds small corrugated cardboard flaps on a packaging conveyor, where the 346N pull force securely retracts the arm out of the product path.
Diagnostic Cartridge Loader
Pushes microfluidic cassettes into a clinical analyzer reader slot, relying on the U flat-end cover for a rigid, non-pivoting frame anchor.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-U with MBL32X75-U
To replace the MAL32X75-U, order the MBL32X75-U, confirming the 32mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT thread. The U flat-end cover provides a rigid rear mount. If you need a position sensor, note that this no-magnet SKU cannot take one; upgrading to an -S version moves you from the old CS1-M / DS1-M switches to the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG family. If a cushion is needed, step up to the MBLC.
For sizing, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 245N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 628N push. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so use a rod lock for position holding. With a 75mm stroke, side-load risk is low, but the 12mm rod still demands alignment.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X75-U (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-U instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-U FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X75-U is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X75-U, which matches the 32mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U flat-end mounting. The MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers.
At 0.5MPa it provides 402N push and 346N pull; at 0.7MPa it provides 563N push, with a maximum theoretical force of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. This specific SKU lacks a -S magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor; an -S version uses older CS1-M / DS1-M switches, while the MBL replacement uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors.
