This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD32X75 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD32X75 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 MALD32X75
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X75 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 MBLD32X75, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X75
The AirTAC MALD32X75 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod cylinder. A rod exits both ends, so push and pull forces are equal at 346 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD32X75, matching the 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This unit has fixed rubber bumpers and no adjustable cushion. The original threaded covers and CS1-M/DS1-M sensors are upgraded in the MBLD to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. This SKU has no -S magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X75 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X75 |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD32X75 |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 75 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 MBLD32X75 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 MBLD32X75 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X75 Is Used
PCB Edge-Guiding
Guides printed circuit boards down a SMT conveyor line. The twin rods resist rotational twist during side-loading, while the 346 N equal force securely holds the board edge without drift.
Dual-End Pick & Place
Transfers small aluminum extrusions between machining stations. The rear rod extension operates a mechanical cam, and the 75 mm stroke provides compact travel for tight cell layouts.
Vision System Ejection
Pushes rejected capacitors out of an optical inspection track. The equal push/pull force of 484 N at 0.7 MPa ensures positive ejection and immediate retraction without sticking.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X75 with MBLD32X75
Replace this MALD32X75 with the MBLD32X75. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and FA/LB mounting. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot hold a sensor; if you need position detection, specify the MBLD32X75S and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M.
Size on the equal force: this bore yields 346 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 25 mm bore (206 N both ways); if you need more, step up to the 40 mm bore (528 N both ways, which also upgrades the port to G1/4).
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD32X75 (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 MBLD32X75 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X75 FAQ
Yes, the MALD32X75 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD32X75. It matches the 32 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting. The MBLD upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design, and if you use a sensor, you must switch from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
Because a rod exits both ends, the effective piston area is the annulus on both sides, making push and pull forces equal. The figures are: 346 N each way at 0.5 MPa, 484 N each way at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This SKU has no -S magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor.
