This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X75S-U — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X75S-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 MAL32X75S-U
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75S-U 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 MBL32X75S-U, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75S-U
The AirTAC MAL32X75S-U is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 75mm stroke. It delivers 402N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X75S-U, which matches the bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and flat-end U back cover. You can swap them directly without altering your existing mounting setup or piping.
This legacy unit features a built-in -S magnet for position sensing and a rigid flat-end U back cover. The older MAL body uses threaded front and rear covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body. Furthermore, the MAL -S magnet interfaces with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches, but upgrading to the MBL requires migrating to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X75S-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 | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
The MBL32X75S-U 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 MAL32X75S-U Is Used
PCB Router Z-Axis
Drives a light spindle on a printed circuit board routing machine, using the 402N push force to plunge the bit cleanly through 1.6mm FR4.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds minor flaps on a compact packaging conveyor, where the 75mm stroke delivers just enough travel to clear the major flaps before sealing.
Vial Stoppering Head
Presses rubber stoppers into pharmaceutical glass vials, relying on the -S magnet to trigger a CS1-M switch and confirm the 346N retraction stroke completed.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75S-U with MBL32X75S-U
To replace the MAL32X75S-U, order the MBL32X75S-U. Verify that your setup uses the default PT tapered port thread, the 12mm carbon-steel rod with an M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and the rigid flat-end U back cover. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, remember that your existing CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches will not fit the MBL; you must upgrade to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MAL uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping; if your application requires adjustable air cushioning, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line.
For sizing flexibility, you can step down to the 25mm bore (245N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter duties, or step up to the 40mm bore (628N push at 0.5 MPa) for heavier loads. Note that a plain bumper cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if load holding is critical. At 75mm stroke, side-load risk is minimal, but always ensure the rigid U cover is mounted squarely to avoid binding the 12mm rod.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X75S-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 MBL32X75S-U instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75S-U FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X75S-U is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X75S-U. It offers the same 32mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/8 port, and flat-end U back cover. The main upgrade difference is that the MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the threaded covers found on the MAL, and the MBL magnet requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors instead of the older CS1-M or DS1-M switches.
The 32mm bore provides a push force of 402N and a pull force of 346N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 563N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates on filtered air at 0.1-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
