This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X75CMFA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X75CMFA 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 MAL32X75CMFA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75CMFA 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 MBL32X75CMFA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75CMFA
The AirTAC MAL32X75CMFA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 75mm stroke. It delivers a push force of 402N and a pull force of 346N at 0.5MPa, making it suitable for medium-duty compact actuation. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL32X75CMFA, a drop-in upgrade retaining the exact same bore, stroke, port size, and FA flange mounting.
This specific SKU features a CM round-end back cover and a PT tapered port thread. Because it lacks the -S magnet option, this cylinder cannot accept a position sensor. The original MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body for improved structural integrity. Both generations use a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping rather than an adjustable air cushion.

| 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 MBL32X75CMFA 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 MBL32X75CMFA 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 MAL32X75CMFA Is Used
Textile Loom Beater
Drives the loom beater mechanism to pack weft threads tightly, utilizing the 402N push force at 0.5MPa to maintain consistent fabric density without overloading the compact frame.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds the minor flaps of small packaging cartons on a high-speed conveyor, where the 75mm stroke provides just enough travel without consuming excessive machine footprint.
PCB Router Clamp
Secures printed circuit board panels during routing operations, applying 346N of pull force at 0.5MPa to hold the delicate substrate firmly against the fixture via the FA flange mount.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75CMFA with MBL32X75CMFA
To replace the discontinued MAL32X75CMFA, order the exact MBL32X75CMFA. Confirm your 32mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/8 port, CM round-end back cover, and FA flange mounting accessory. Since this unit has no -S magnet, it cannot support a sensor; if you need position detection, switch to an MBL32X75SCMFA, which uses the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switch family instead of the legacy CS1-M or DS1-M sensors.
If you need to step down, the 25mm bore neighbor provides 245N of push force at 0.5MPa. If you need to step up, the 40mm bore neighbor provides 628N of push force. Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold its position when air is lost; the rod drifts, and the rubber bumper only softens the impact. For a held load, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. If your application requires an adjustable air cushion instead of a fixed bumper, look at the MBLC line.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X75CMFA (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 MBL32X75CMFA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75CMFA FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X75CMFA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X75CMFA, which matches the 32mm bore, 75mm stroke, 402N push force, G1/8 port, CM round-end back cover, and FA flange mounting.
At 0.5MPa, it pushes with 402N and pulls with 346N. At 0.7MPa, the push force is 563N, and the maximum theoretical force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor; the MBL replacement with an -S option uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
