This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X75SCMLB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X75SCMLB 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 MAL32X75SCMLB
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75SCMLB 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 MBL32X75SCMLB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75SCMLB
The AirTAC MAL32X75SCMLB is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for compact setups requiring 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. This specific configuration includes a 75 mm stroke, a built-in magnet for position sensing, a CM round-end back cover, and an LB foot mounting bracket. AirTAC ended the MAL line, replacing it with the MBL32X75SCMLB—a drop-in alternative retaining the exact 32 mm bore, G1/8 port, and 82 kgf maximum force rating.
Transitioning to the MBL brings structural updates while preserving operational parameters. The legacy MAL features threaded front and rear covers, whereas the modern MBL utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, the -S magnet on this MAL functions with older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches; upgrading to the MBL requires migrating to current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG solid-state sensors. The cylinder relies on a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration and uses a heterogeneous two-way seal to retain internal grease.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X75SCMLB 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 MBL32X75SCMLB 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 MAL32X75SCMLB Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Provides 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to firmly clamp PCB panels during the routing and depaneling process, preventing substrate vibration.
Carton Flap Folding
Uses the 75 mm stroke to actively fold corrugated carton flaps prior to tape sealing, with the LB foot mount ensuring rigid alignment.
Connector Insertion Press
Drives rectangular pin headers into sockets with controlled 32 mm bore force, verifying position via the -S magnet and reed switch.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75SCMLB with MBL32X75SCMLB
To replace the MAL32X75SCMLB, order the MBL32X75SCMLB, ensuring you match the 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, PT thread, CM round-end, and LB foot mount. If your application requires less force, step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push at 0.5 MPa); if you need more power, step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa). Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, remember that your existing CS1-M / DS1-M switches will not fit the MBL body—you must upgrade to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The fixed rubber bumper softens impact but is not an adjustable cushion; if your load requires precise end-of-stroke deceleration, consider the current-line MBLC variant. Furthermore, a plain cylinder does not hold position upon air loss; add an external rod lock for vertical or gravity-loaded applications.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X75SCMLB (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 MBL32X75SCMLB instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X75SCMLB FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X75SCMLB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X75SCMLB, offering the same 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and LB foot mount. The main change is the body construction (threaded covers to a riveted body) and the sensor family (CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG).
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 346 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
