This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALD series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLD32X150S, 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 MALD32X150-S
The AirTAC MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X150-S 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 MBLD32X150-S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X150-S
The AirTAC MALD32X150-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. A rod exits both ends, yielding equal force in both directions at 346 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MBLD32X150-S, matching the 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This -S SKU includes a magnet for position sensing. The MALD uses older CS1-M / DS1-M switches, while the MBLD upgrade requires CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The MALD features threaded covers and fixed rubber bumpers, whereas the MBLD uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Twin rods resist rotation and double the bearing load for guided slides.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X150-S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X150-S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD32X150-S |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 150 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 MBLD32X150-S 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 MBLD32X150-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X150-S Is Used
PCB Edge Conveyor
Drives a guided transfer slide in a PCB conveyor. The twin 12 mm rods prevent chassis rotation, and the 346 N equal force securely advances the panel without skewing.
Textile Yarn Guide
Actuates a yarn traversing guide on a winding machine. The rear rod carries a cam, while the fixed rubber bumper absorbs the 150 mm stroke end-impact at high cycle rates.
Bottle Reject Arm
Pushes a diverter arm on a bottling line to reject faulty containers. The double-rod design maintains stable dual-tooling alignment under the 484 N force at 0.7 MPa.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X150-S with MBLD32X150-S
To replace the MALD32X150-S, specify the MBLD32X150-S to retain the 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT thread. Mount via FA flange or LB foot on the body; there is no back cover or SDB option. Size using the equal push and pull forces of 346 N at 0.5 MPa or 484 N at 0.7 MPa. If you need to step down, the 25 mm bore delivers 206 N at 0.5 MPa. To step up, the 40 mm bore provides 528 N at 0.5 MPa. At 150 mm stroke, support the extended rod to prevent excessive side-load wear on the bearings.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD32X150-S (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 MBLD32X150-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X150-S FAQ
Yes, the MALD32X150-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLD32X150-S, matching the 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting. You must upgrade your position sensors from the old CS1-M / DS1-M to the CMSG / DMSG / EMSG family.
Force is equal both ways because a rod exits both ends, making the effective piston area identical for push and pull. It generates 346 N at 0.5 MPa, 484 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses fixed rubber bumpers, not adjustable cushions.
