This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD32X50 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD32X50 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 MALD32X50
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X50 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 MBLD32X50, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X50
The AirTAC MALD32X50 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder delivering equal push and pull force of 346 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD32X50, matching the 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This twin-rod design resists rotation and doubles the bearing load for guided slide tasks. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. Upgrading to the MBLD32X50 replaces the threaded covers with a riveted rolling-packed body for greater structural integrity.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X50 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X50 |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD32X50 |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 50 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 MBLD32X50 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 MBLD32X50 matches these values.
Model Code: Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X50
| MALD | Double-rod aluminum mini cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×50 | 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 MALD32X50 Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Twin rods resist cutting side-load on the routing spindle, keeping the 346 N cut stable without rotation.
Bottle Capping Turret
Equal push and pull force applies precise 346 N torque transfer for capping and uncapping on the return stroke.
Textile Beam Indexer
The rear rod carries a cam to trip the thread cutter while the front rod drives the 50 mm indexing stroke.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X50 with MBLD32X50
Replace the MALD32X50 with the drop-in MBLD32X50, confirming the 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA or LB mounting. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor; if sensing is needed, step up to an MBLD32X50S and switch from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the new CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Size on the equal force: 346 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 25 mm bore (206 N); for more force, step up to the 40 mm bore (528 N).
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD32X50 (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 MBLD32X50 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X50 FAQ
Yes, the MALD32X50 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD32X50, which matches the 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting. The MBLD32X50 upgrades the threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body.
Force is equal both ways: 346 N at 0.5 MPa, 484 N at 0.7 MPa, and a max of 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion, and cannot hold a load on air loss. This SKU has no magnet, so it cannot take a sensor.
