This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X95CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X95CA 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 MAL32X95CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X95CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 95mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X95CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X95CA
The AirTAC MAL32X95CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It features a 32mm bore and a 95mm stroke, delivering 402N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X95CA, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. The legacy MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body for equally robust performance.
This specific SKU includes a CA pivot back cover, allowing the cylinder to swing on a pin to absorb arcing loads. Because this model lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a position sensor. The rod relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, paired with a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide. Impact at the stroke end is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X95CA 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 MBL32X95CA 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 MAL32X95CA Is Used
Textile Loom Tensioning
Uses the 402N push force and CA pivot to maintain yarn tension on a weaving loom, absorbing minor angular deflection during high-speed cycling.
Bottle Sorting Diverter
Swings a diverter gate on a packaging line conveyor, relying on the 95mm stroke to route glass bottles into the correct labeling lane.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds secondary cardboard flaps on a case packer, where the fixed rubber bumper safely absorbs the 563N impact at 0.7 MPa without damaging the packaging.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X95CA with MBL32X95CA
To replace the MAL32X95CA, order the MBL32X95CA. Verify your setup accommodates the PT tapered port thread, the Ø12mm carbon-steel rod with M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and the CA clevis pivot. If your machine requires end-of-stroke cushioning, step up to the MBLC32X95CA which offers an adjustable air cushion absent on the MAL line. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is removed, so use an external rod lock for load holding.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 245N push force, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 628N push force at 0.5 MPa. At 95mm stroke, side-load stress is moderate, but the CA pivot helps manage minor misalignment. For highly rigid linear paths, consider an external guide rail.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X95CA (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 MBL32X95CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X95CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X95CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X95CA, which matches the 32mm bore, 95mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot. The newer MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers.
The output forces are 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor.
