This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD32X130S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD32X130S 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 MALD32X130S
The AirTAC 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 drop-in 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 exact drop-in 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.
Model Code: Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X130S

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 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 exact drop-in 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.
