This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD32X15S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD32X15S 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 MALD32X15S
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X15S 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 MBLD32X15S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X15S
The AirTAC MALD32X15S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod mini cylinder. Its twin 12mm rods exit both ends of the 32mm bore, delivering 346 N of equal push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD32X15S, matching the original G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and mounting.
This -S SKU uses a CS1-M / DS1-M magnet for rear sensing, which upgrades to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches on the MBLD. The MALD has threaded covers, whereas the MBLD features a riveted rolling-packed body. With no back cover or SDB option, you mount directly on the body or via FA/LB. The fixed rubber bumper softens end impact but provides no powered load hold.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X15S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X15S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD32X15S |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 15 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 MBLD32X15S 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 MBLD32X15S matches these values.
Model Code: Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X15S

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 MALD32X15S Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
Uses the 15mm stroke and 346 N equal force to drive a guided cutting blade, ensuring the twin rods resist rotational binding during the slice.
Bottle Capper Head
The rear rod carries a cam flag to trigger a CS1-M sensor, confirming cap press position while the front rod applies 484 N at 0.7 MPa.
Dual-Pick Vacuum Gripper
Twin rods allow mounting a vacuum tool on the front and a parallel rear ejector, using the 32mm bore's anti-rotation guidance for precision.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X15S with MBLD32X15S
Replace the MALD32X15S with the MBLD32X15S, confirming the 32mm bore, 15mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT thread. The -S magnet changes sensor families from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. Mounting remains FA flange or LB foot, as no back cover exists.
Size on the 346 N equal force both ways. If you need less force, step down to the 25mm bore providing 206 N at 0.5 MPa. If your load requires more, step up to the 40mm bore yielding 528 N at 0.5 MPa.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD32X15S (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 MBLD32X15S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X15S FAQ
Yes, the MALD32X15S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD32X15S, matching the 32mm bore, 15mm stroke, G1/8 port, and force. You must upgrade your sensors from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
The double-rod design yields equal push and pull force: 346 N at 0.5 MPa, 484 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The fixed rubber bumper softens end impact but provides no load holding on air loss.
