This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X75SCALB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X75SCALB 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 MAL32X75SCALB
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75SCALB 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 MBL32X75SCALB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75SCALB
The AirTAC MAL32X75SCALB is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for compact automation. Delivering 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, it utilizes a Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 µm hard-chrome plating and a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X75SCALB, matching the 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, LB foot mount, and CA pivot back cover.
This specific SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing, which on the legacy MAL works with the older CS1-M / DS1-M switches. When upgrading to the MBL32X75SCALB, you must update to the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensor family. The original MAL features threaded front and back covers, whereas the MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body for a more rigid assembly. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, but it does not lock the rod; a plain cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X75SCALB 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 MBL32X75SCALB 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 MAL32X75SCALB Is Used
Textile Loom Guide Control
Drives a 75 mm yarn-guide shift on a textile loom, utilizing the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa to move lightweight guides rapidly across the beam.
Packaging Diverter Arm
Actuates a 75 mm pivot arm to divert small cardboard cartons on a packaging line, where the CA pivot back cover absorbs arcing loads smoothly.
PCB Shuttle Ejector
Pushes populated printed circuit boards out of a testing fixture, relying on the LB foot mount to keep the 32 mm body rigid during the 75 mm ejection stroke.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75SCALB with MBL32X75SCALB
To replace the MAL32X75SCALB, order the MBL32X75SCALB, ensuring you match the PT thread, LB foot mounting, and CA pivot back cover. Because this SKU has the -S magnet, plan to swap your legacy CS1-M or DS1-M sensors for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches on the new MBL body. If your application requires an adjustable air cushion instead of the standard fixed rubber bumper, step up to the current-line MBLC variant.
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. At 75 mm stroke, side-load stress on the 12 mm rod is moderate, but the CA pivot back cover helps accommodate slight misalignment by allowing arcing movements. Remember that this cylinder cannot hold a load securely upon air loss; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for vertical positioning tasks.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X75SCALB (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 MBL32X75SCALB instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75SCALB FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X75SCALB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X75SCALB. It matches the 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, LB foot mount, and CA pivot back cover. The MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers, and if your SKU has the -S magnet, you must upgrade from the old CS1-M / DS1-M switches to the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensor family.
The 32 mm bore delivers 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. It operates on filtered air at 0.1-1.0 MPa, runs at 30-800 mm/s, and uses a fixed rubber bumper to absorb end-of-stroke impacts.
