This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD32X10S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD32X10S in place of this model. The MBLD replacement upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (the MAL used CS1-M / DS1-M).
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X10S
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X10S is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder: a rod exits both ends of the Ø32mm bore, so push and pull force are equal. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBLD32X10S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X10S
The AirTAC MALD32X10S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod pneumatic cylinder. It delivers equal force both ways at 346 N @0.5 MPa via a 32 mm bore. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD32X10S, matching the bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 rod thread.
This twin-rod layout resists rotation and doubles the bearing load for precise short-stroke work. The -S magnet supports CS1-M / DS1-M switches, while the MBLD upgrade uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors in a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the original threaded covers.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X10S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X10S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD32X10S |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 10 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.1 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed rubber bumper |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 500 mm |
Double-rod types have no back-cover code and no SDB pivot; mount on the body, LB foot or FA flange. The MBLD32X10S carries the same ratings.
Output Force — Equal Both Ways (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 346 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 kgf | |
A rod exits both ends, so the effective area — and force — is equal in both directions. The MBLD32X10S matches these values.
Model Code: Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X10S
| MALD | Double-rod aluminum mini cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×10 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional magnet for a CS1-M / DS1-M sensor (MBLD uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG). |
Replacement: MALD → MBLD. No back-cover (CA/U/CM) and no SDB on double-rod. Mounting: LB / FA.
Where the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X10S Is Used
PCB Edge Cutter
Drives a synchronized guillotine on an electronics depaneling router, using the twin rods to prevent blade yaw during the 10 mm chop.
Pick-and-Place Arm
Actuates a dual-tool gripper on a packaging line, where the rear rod carries a cam to trigger a downstream diverting gate.
Bottle Sorter Flap
Powers a rotary diverter in a bottling plant, relying on the 346 N equal push-pull force to snap the guide flap in both directions.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X10S with MBLD32X10S
Replace the MALD32X10S with the MBLD32X10S. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and FA or LB mounting (no back cover or SDB code exists). Change your sensor stock from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. Size on the 346 N equal force. To step down, the 25 mm bore gives 206 N @0.5 MPa; to step up, the 40 mm bore gives 528 N @0.5 MPa.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD32X10S (same bore/stroke/force)
- ✓ Force equal both ways (346 N at 0.5 MPa)
- ✓ Twin rods for anti-rotation / rear flag
- ✓ No back cover / SDB — plan a body or FA/LB mount
- ✓ Sensor: swap CS1-M/DS1-M → CMSG/DMSG/EMSG
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.1 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Protect both rod ends from side load on long strokes.
- check No back-cover / SDB on double-rod — use body / FA / LB.
- check Front/rear covers are threaded — not for field disassembly.
- check For new builds, specify the MBLD32X10S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X10S FAQ
Yes, the MALD32X10S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD32X10S, which matches the 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, 346 N equal force, G1/8 port, and mounting. You only need to swap the CS1-M / DS1-M sensors for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.
The twin rods exit both ends, making the piston area an annulus on both sides, so push and pull forces are identical. The figures are 346 N @0.5 MPa, 484 N @0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 70 kgf @1.0 MPa. End-of-stroke impact is absorbed by a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
