This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALD series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLD32X225S, 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 MALD32X225S
The AirTAC MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X225S 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 MBLD32X225S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X225S
The AirTAC MALD32X225S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod pneumatic cylinder. A 12mm carbon-steel rod exits both ends, yielding equal push and pull force of 346 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MBLD32X225S, matching the 32mm bore, 225mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This -S variant carries a magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M switches; the MBLD upgrade shifts to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers. Twin rods double the bearing area to resist torsion, and the rear rod can mount a cam or flag. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs end impacts without acting as a load lock.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X225S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X225S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD32X225S |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 225 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 MBLD32X225S 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 MBLD32X225S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X225S Is Used
PCB Edge-Guided Transfer
Drives a dual-clamp slide in a PCB handling line, using the 346 N equal force and twin rods to prevent chassis rotation during board indexing.
Textile Loom Beater
Actuates a reed mechanism on a weaving loom, where the anti-rotation twin rods maintain precise parallel tracking across the 225mm stroke.
Bottle Capping Turret
Pilots a capping head in a beverage rotary filler, using the rear rod for a flag cam while the front applies 484 N at 0.7 MPa.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X225S with MBLD32X225S
To replace the MALD32X225S with the MBLD32X225S, verify the 32mm bore, 225mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA or LB mounting (there is no back cover or SDB). Because the -S magnet changes sensor families, swap CS1-M/DS1-M switches for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Size strictly on the 346 N equal force at 0.5 MPa; step down to the 25mm bore for 206 N, or up to the 40mm bore for 528 N. At 225mm stroke, guide the load to prevent rod side-loading and premature seal wear.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD32X225S (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 MBLD32X225S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X225S FAQ
Yes, the MALD32X225S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLD32X225S, which matches the 32mm bore, 225mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting. You must upgrade the sensor family from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
Force is equal both ways: 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 for end-of-stroke impact absorption; it is not an adjustable cushion and will not hold a load on air loss.
