This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X750-S-CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X750-S-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).

The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X750-S-CM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 750mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X750-S-CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL32X750-S-CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 750 mm non-standard made-to-order stroke. Delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it features a built-in magnet and a CM round-end back cover. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32750-S-CM, which matches the bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and mounting hardware.
A key upgrade in the MBL is the riveted rolling-packed body, replacing the threaded front and back covers found on this legacy MAL. Additionally, the -S magnet on this unit operates with older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches, while the modern MBL replacement transitions to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families. The 12 mm carbon-steel rod relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, and the fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts without acting as a position lock.

The MBL32X750-S-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.

Pushes routing gates on a 750 mm travel conveyor for electronics assembly, using the 402 N push force to reliably shift PCB trays without overpowering the lightweight fixtures.
Extends to index large yarn beams into a winding machine, where the long stroke accommodates wide material rolls and the CM round-end cover tolerates minor alignment shifts.
Actuates a side-push diverter on a packaging line, moving light cardboard cartons over the 750 mm length while the self-lubricating bearing guide maintains smooth operation.
To replace this MAL32X750-S-CM, order the MBL32X750-S-CM. Verify your 32 mm bore, 750 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread form, CM round-end cover, and magnet requirement. Because the -S magnet is present, plan to upgrade your CS1-M or DS1-M sensors to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for the new body. If your application requires adjustable air cushioning rather than the fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. Since the 750 mm stroke is non-standard and exceeds the 500 mm maximum standard length, the 12 mm rod has low side-load tolerance over that distance. Use an external guide rail to prevent rod bending, or pivot the CM round-end cover to accommodate arcing motion. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you need to hold a suspended load.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL series is end-of-life. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X750-S-CM. It offers the same 32 mm bore, 750 mm stroke, force, G1/8 port, and CM mounting. The main changes are a riveted body instead of threaded covers, and the magnet now uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M or DS1-M sensors.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 346 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s, operating pressure is 0.1-1.0 MPa, and it uses a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion.
