This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X75CAY — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X75CAY 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 MAL32X75CAY
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75CAY 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 MBL32X75CAY, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75CAY
The AirTAC MAL32X75CAY is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, and a G1/8 port. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X75CAY, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, port size, and mounting accessories exactly.
This legacy unit features a CA pivot clevis back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads, paired with a carbon-steel rod hardened with 20 um chrome plating and a grease-retaining two-way seal. Because this specific SKU lacks an -S magnet, it cannot support a position sensor. Note that the original MAL uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body for enhanced structural integrity.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X75CAY 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 MBL32X75CAY 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 MAL32X75CAY Is Used
Textile Loom Guide Arms
Drives oscillating guide arms on weaving looms where the CA pivot clevis accommodates the mechanism's natural arcing motion, utilizing 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
Package Diverters
Actuates pivot-mounted sorting flaps on conveyor packaging lines, providing rapid 75 mm strokes to redirect small cartons into secondary lanes.
Bottle Capping Heads
Applies precise 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa to press and seal threaded caps onto small beverage bottles within a compact machinery footprint.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75CAY with MBL32X75CAY
To replace the MAL32X75CAY, order the MBL32X75CAY. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, PT thread form, G1/8 port, and the CA pivot back cover are correct for your fixture. Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet, no sensor can be mounted; if position detection is required, step up to an MBL32X75SCAY and migrate from the legacy CS1-M / DS1-M switches to the modern CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensor family.
For sizing adjustments, the next size down is the 25 mm bore (delivering 245 N push at 0.5 MPa), and the next size up is the 40 mm bore (providing 628 N push at 0.5 MPa). The MAL uses a fixed rubber bumper, so if end-of-stroke shock becomes an issue, consider the MBLC variant for an adjustable air cushion. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost; use an external rod lock for position holding. At a 75 mm stroke, side-load tolerance is manageable, but the 12 mm rod still requires alignment.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X75CAY (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 MBL32X75CAY instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75CAY FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X75CAY is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X75CAY, which shares the exact same 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. You simply order the MBL equivalent to swap it out.
The 32 mm bore provides a push force of 402 N and a pull force of 346 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
