This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X950SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X950SCA 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 MAL32X950SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X950SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 950mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X950SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X950SCA
The AirTAC MAL32X950SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and a 950mm non-standard made-to-order stroke. It delivers 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X950SCA, matching the bore, stroke, 82kgf max force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting.
This legacy unit uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. The -S magnet on this MAL pairs with older CS1-M / DS1-M switches, while the MBL replacement requires CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. A heterogeneous two-way seal retains grease, and the 12mm carbon-steel rod has 20um hard chrome plating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X950SCA 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 MBL32X950SCA 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 MAL32X950SCA Is Used
Pallet Transfer Gate
Actuates a 950mm routing flap on a packaging conveyor, using the CA pivot to absorb arcing motion while providing 402N push at 0.5MPa.
Textile Beam Lifter
Raises a long textile beam in a looming machine, where the 950mm stroke and 346N pull force clear the material path for thread loading.
Vertical Tray Elevator
Moves stacked component trays between warehouse tiers, utilizing the 563N push force at 0.7MPa to overcome gravity on the 950mm extension.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X950SCA with MBL32X950SCA
To replace the MAL32X950SCA, order the MBL32X950SCA. Confirm the 950mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and CA pivot back cover, which swings on a pin for arcing loads. The -S magnet means you must upgrade your CS1-M / DS1-M sensors to the CMSG / DMSG / EMSG family. At 950mm, side-load tolerance is very low; use an external guide to prevent the 12mm rod from bending. The MAL has a fixed rubber bumper; if you need adjustable cushioning, step up to the MBLC series.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 245N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 628N push at 0.5MPa. A plain MBL does not hold its load when air is lost; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for position holding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X950SCA (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 MBL32X950SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X950SCA FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X950SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X950SCA, which matches the 32mm bore, 950mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. You must upgrade sensors from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
The 32mm bore uses a G1/8 port. At 0.5MPa it delivers 402N push and 346N pull. At 0.7MPa push is 563N. The theoretical maximum force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa.
