This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X900SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X900SCA 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 MAL32X900SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X900SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 900mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X900SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X900SCA
The AirTAC MAL32X900SCA is a discontinued, double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa through a 32 mm bore and 12 mm carbon-steel rod. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X900SCA, which matches the original G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, CA pivot back cover, and built-in magnet.
This 900 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length that exceeds the 500 mm standard limit. The legacy MAL uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this SKU includes a -S magnet, it originally worked with CS1-M and DS1-M switches; upgrading to the MBL requires switching to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X900SCA 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 MBL32X900SCA 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 MAL32X900SCA Is Used
Textile Loom Beater
Drives the oscillating beater mechanism in a weaving loom, utilizing the CA pivot bracket to safely accommodate the arcing motion across the 900 mm stroke.
Pallet Transfer Pusher
Transfers heavy wooden pallets between roller conveyors, relying on the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa to overcome friction over the long 900 mm travel.
Warehouse Divert Arm
Actuates a long routing arm on a sortation line, where the 32 mm bore provides sufficient force to redirect totes while the pivot mount prevents rod binding.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X900SCA with MBL32X900SCA
To replace the MAL32X900SCA, order the MBL32X900SCA. Verify your port is G1/8 and your rod-end thread is M10x1.25. The CA pivot back cover on this unit swings on a pin to absorb arcing loads, which is critical for a 900 mm stroke that would otherwise snap the rod under side-load. If you need a smaller 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). The standard fixed rubber bumper is not an adjustable cushion; order an MBLC if you need end-of-stroke deceleration. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add an external rod lock if you must hold a vertical load.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X900SCA (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 MBL32X900SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X900SCA FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X900SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X900SCA, which matches the 32 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, CA pivot back cover, and G1/8 port. You must upgrade your sensors because the MAL -S magnet uses older CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBL uses the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG family.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 346 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 900 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length that exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum.
