This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X95SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X95SCA 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 MAL32X95SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X95SCA 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 MBL32X95SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X95SCA
The AirTAC MAL32X95SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 95mm stroke, delivering 402N of push force at 0.5MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL32X95SCA, a drop-in alternative retaining the exact same G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, CA pivot back cover, and magnetic piston. The original MAL features threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body for equally robust performance.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection. On the MAL, this magnet pairs with older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches, but the MBL32X95SCA replacement transitions to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families. Internally, a heterogeneous two-way seal retains grease, and the carbon-steel rod with 20um hard-chrome plating rides in a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X95SCA 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 MBL32X95SCA 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 MAL32X95SCA Is Used
Pneumatic Clamping Arm
Actuates an arcing swing clamp in a CNC fixture, where the CA pivot back cover accommodates the radial movement and the 402N thrust securely holds aluminum castings.
Package Diverter Gate
Pushes corrugated cardboard cartons on a sorting line, using the 95mm stroke to clear the belt profile while the self-lubricating bearing handles continuous cycling.
Component Ejector Station
Kicks machined plastic parts out of an injection mold chute, relying on the -S magnet and CS1-M sensors to verify ejection before the mold closes.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X95SCA with MBL32X95SCA
To replace the MAL32X95SCA, order the MBL32X95SCA, confirming the 32mm bore, 95mm stroke, PT thread, and CA pivot back cover are retained. The -S magnet carries over, but you must upgrade your position sensing from CS1-M/DS1-M switches to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. If your application requires an adjustable air cushion rather than the fixed rubber bumper found on this MAL, step up to the MBLC equivalent.
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. Because the 95mm stroke is near the 300mm threshold, be mindful of side-load tolerance; the 12mm rod handles moderate radial stress, but the CA clevis mounting helps absorb arcing loads by pivoting on a pin. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for suspended loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X95SCA (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 MBL32X95SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X95SCA FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X95SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X95SCA, which matches the 32mm bore, 95mm stroke, G1/8 port, CA pivot cover, and -S magnet. You only need to update your sensors from the older CS1-M/DS1-M to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
At 0.5MPa, the push force is 402N and the pull force is 346N. At 0.7MPa, the push force increases to 563N. The maximum theoretical force is 82kgf at 1.0MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
