This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD32X350-S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD32X350-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 MALD32X350-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X350-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 MBLD32X350-S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X350-S
The AirTAC MALD32X350-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod pneumatic cylinder. A rod exits both ends, meaning push and pull forces are equal at 346 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD32X350-S, matching the 32 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This -S SKU uses a magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBLD replacement upgrades to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MALD features threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, whereas the MBLD uses a riveted rolling-packed body. With no back cover or SDB option, mounting is strictly body, FA flange, or LB foot.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X350-S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X350-S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD32X350-S |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 350 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 MBLD32X350-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 MBLD32X350-S matches these values.
Model Code: Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X350-S
| MALD | Double-rod aluminum mini cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|

| ×350 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional magnet for a CS1-M / DS1-M sensor (MBLD uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG). |
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 MALD32X350-S Is Used
PCB Shuttle Conveyor
Drives a dual-sided shuttle carriage in a PCB assembly line. The twin rods resist twist during rapid indexing, while the 350 mm stroke handles wide panel transfers.
Textile Beam Lift
Lifts heavy textile warp beams using both rod ends for equal 346 N pull and push. The rear rod simultaneously raises a mechanical depth gauge flag.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds corrugated carton flaps simultaneously from both sides. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs the 350 mm stroke end-impact without requiring adjustment.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X350-S with MBLD32X350-S
To replace this MALD32X350-S, order the MBLD32X350-S. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting. The -S magnet means you must switch from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Size strictly on the equal 346 N force at 0.5 MPa. To step down, the 25 mm bore provides 206 N; to step up, the 40 mm bore provides 528 N. At 350 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod side-loading and premature bearing wear.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD32X350-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 MBLD32X350-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X350-S FAQ
Yes, the MALD32X350-S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD32X350-S, which matches the 32 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and equal force. You must upgrade your switches 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 at both ends, meaning there is no adjustable cushion. It provides no load holding on air loss.
