This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALD series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLD32X130S, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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 MALD32X130S
The AirTAC MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X130S 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 direct replacement is the MBLD32X130S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X130S
The AirTAC MALD32X130S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. A rod exits both ends, delivering equal force both ways at 346 N @0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MBLD32X130S.
This 32mm bore, 130mm stroke model features a fixed rubber bumper and a heterogeneous grease-retaining seal. The original MALD uses threaded covers and a CS1-M / DS1-M magnet switch. The MBLD32X130S upgrade shifts to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The twin rods provide anti-rotation guidance and allow a rear flag or tool mount, doubling the bearing load compared to a single-rod MAL.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X130S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X130S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD32X130S |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 130 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 MBLD32X130S 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 MBLD32X130S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X130S Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
Drives a dual-blade depaneling saw for PCB routing, using the 346 N equal force and twin rods to maintain perfectly straight, anti-rotation cuts through FR4 fiberglass.
Textile Loom Let-Off
Synchronizes the let-off beam tension in a weaving loom, using the rear exiting rod to mount a mechanical flag for physical end-of-travel signaling.
Connector Insertion Press
Presses rectangular industrial connectors into housings, relying on the 130mm stroke and fixed rubber bumper to absorb the 484 N @0.7 MPa end-of-stroke impact safely.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X130S with MBLD32X130S
Replace this MALD32X130S with the MBLD32X130S, confirming the 32mm bore, 130mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting (no back cover or SDB). The -S magnet means you must upgrade switches from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. Size on the equal 346 N force; to step down, the 25mm bore delivers 206 N @0.5 MPa, and to step up, the 40mm bore provides 528 N @0.5 MPa. For this 130mm stroke, ensure adequate guide support to prevent rod side-loading.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD32X130S (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 MBLD32X130S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X130S FAQ
Yes, the MALD32X130S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLD32X130S, which matches the 32mm bore, 130mm stroke, G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting. You must upgrade your switches from the old CS1-M / DS1-M to the new CMSG / DMSG / EMSG family.
The double-rod design yields equal push and pull forces: 346 N @0.5 MPa and 484 N @0.7 MPa, with a maximum force of 70 kgf @1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.1-1.0 MPa, speed is 30-800 mm/s, and it uses a fixed rubber bumper.
