This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD32X200-S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD32X200-S 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 MALD32X200-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X200-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 drop-in replacement is the MBLD32X200-S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X200-S
The AirTAC MALD32X200-S double-acting, double-rod cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD32X200-S, matching the 32mm bore, 200mm stroke, G1/8 port and equal-both-ways force. With a 12mm rod exiting both ends, it delivers 346 N of push and pull force at 0.5 MPa.
This design uses twin rods to resist rotation and double the bearing load for guided sliding. Unlike single-rod types, the rear rod can carry a cam or flag for external tracking. The -S magnet works with CS1-M / DS1-M switches, while the MBLD32X200-S upgrades to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors and a riveted rolling-packed body, replacing the original threaded covers.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X200-S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X200-S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD32X200-S |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 200 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 MBLD32X200-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 MBLD32X200-S matches these values.
Model Code: Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X200-S

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 MALD32X200-S Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
Drives a depaneling blade with equal 346 N push and pull force at 0.5 MPa, using the twin rods to keep the cutting head perfectly aligned without rotation.
Textile Beam Loom
Actuates a thread tensioning cam from the rear rod while the front rod drives the take-up lever, leveraging the 200mm stroke for full warp beam travel.
Bottling Line Diverter
Shifts a guide rail to reject misaligned glass bottles, using the non-rotating twin rods to prevent the gate from twisting under dynamic side loads.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X200-S with MBLD32X200-S
To replace the MALD32X200-S, order the MBLD32X200-S. Confirm the 32mm bore, 200mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, FA or LB mounting, and the -S magnet. Because it is a double-rod cylinder, there is no back-cover or SDB option. The -S sensor family changes from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. Size on the equal 346 N force both ways at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 25mm bore (206 N); if you need more, step up to the 40mm bore (528 N). For a 200mm stroke, add a guide rail to prevent rod side-load and premature seal wear.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD32X200-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 MBLD32X200-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X200-S FAQ
Yes, the MALD32X200-S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD32X200-S, which matches the 32mm bore, 200mm stroke, G1/8 port, FA/LB mounting and equal force. You must upgrade your sensors: the MALD -S magnet used CS1-M / DS1-M switches, while the MBLD uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.
Force is equal both ways due to the twin rods: 346 N at 0.5 MPa, 484 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper at the stroke ends, not an adjustable cushion. It provides no load holding on air loss.
