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

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-U-FA
The AirTAC MAL32X75-U-FA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for compact spaces. It delivers a push force of 402 N and pull force of 346 N at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 12mm carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard chrome plating. Because this legacy series is end-of-life, AirTAC mandates the MBL32X75-U-FA as the exact drop-in replacement, matching the 32mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/8 port, and FA flange mounting exactly.
This specific SKU features a U flat-end back cover for rigid rear mounting and an FA front flange for secure front plate attachment. It lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot accept position sensors. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers on the barrel, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Both designs rely on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts, though an adjustable air cushion is available if you step up to the current MBLC variant.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X75-U-FA 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-U-FA Is Used
Bottle Capping Turrets
Drives the capping head on a rotary beverage line, using the 402 N push force to seal caps tightly without crushing plastic threads.
PCB Depaneling Saws
Advances a circular saw blade through populated circuit boards, relying on the rigid FA flange to maintain precise 75mm cut geometry.
Carton Flap Folders
Folds minor flaps on small pharmaceutical cartons, where the fixed rubber bumper absorbs the 30-800 mm/s stroke impact quietly.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-U-FA with MBL32X75-U-FA
To replace the MAL32X75-U-FA, order the MBL32X75-U-FA. Verify your setup accommodates the U flat-end rear cover and FA flange mounting. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, you cannot add CS1-M or DS1-M sensors; if you need position detection, switch to an MBL32X75S-U-FA and upgrade to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The 32mm bore provides 402 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 25mm bore (245 N push); if you need more, step up to the 40mm bore (628 N push). Keep in mind a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for vertical loads. If end-cushioning is insufficient, upgrade to the MBLC.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X75-U-FA (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-FA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75-U-FA FAQ
