This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X750-S-U — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X750-S-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 MAL32X750-S-U
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X750-S-U 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-U, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X750-S-U
The AirTAC MAL32X750-S-U is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for compact spaces requiring a 750 mm stroke. Delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it features a 32 mm bore, a G1/8 port, and a U flat-end back cover. Because 750 mm exceeds the 500 mm standard limit, this unit was produced as a made-to-order stroke. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X750-S-U, matching the original force, port size, and mounting footprint.
This legacy SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) designed for the older CS1-M and DS1-M reed switches; upgrading to the MBL means transitioning to current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The original MAL body utilized threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body for enhanced structural integrity. A heterogeneous two-way seal retains grease around the carbon-steel rod, which is plated with 20 µm hard chrome to resist wear in extended-reach applications.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X750-S-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 | — |

Where the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X750-S-U Is Used
PCB Conveyor Routing
Pushes a routing gate along a 750 mm path on a printed circuit board conveyor, using 402 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa to divert panels into testing stations.
Textile Yarn Doffing
Extends a yarn guide arm across a 750 mm stroke to position bobbins for automated doffing, relying on the rigid U flat-end rear mount to maintain alignment.
Carton Flap Folding
Actuates a 750 mm folding blade on a packaging line to tuck long corrugated flaps, using the 32 mm bore's 346 N pull force to retract safely.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X750-S-U with MBL32X750-S-U
To replace the MAL32X750-S-U, order the MBL32X750-S-U. Verify your 32 mm bore, 750 mm non-standard stroke, G1/8 port, and PT thread form. The U flat-end back cover provides rigid rear mounting, but because the 12 mm rod extends 750 mm, side-load tolerance is minimal; you must use an external guide rail to prevent rod bending and premature seal failure. If your process requires position holding on air loss, add an external rod lock, as the fixed rubber bumper only softens end-of-stroke impacts. If a cushion is needed to absorb the kinetic energy of this long stroke, step up to the MBLC series which offers adjustable air cushions.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa and upgrades the port to G1/4. Remember that the -S magnet on your legacy MAL requires CS1-M or DS1-M switches, whereas the MBL replacement utilizes the CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X750-S-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 MBL32X750-S-U instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X750-S-U FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X750-S-U is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X750-S-U, which matches the 32 mm bore, 750 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U flat-end mounting. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and changes the sensor family from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
The 32 mm bore delivers 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push at 0.7 MPa. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.1 to 1.0 MPa.
