This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD32X80 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD32X80 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 MALD32X80
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X80 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 MBLD32X80, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X80
The AirTAC MALD32X80 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod pneumatic cylinder. A rod exits both ends, yielding equal push and pull force of 346 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD32X80, matching the 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This SKU lacks a -S magnet and cannot accept a position sensor. The MALD uses threaded covers and fixed rubber bumpers, while the MBLD upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. Twin rods provide high anti-rotation resistance and double the bearing load, allowing a rear rod to carry a cam or secondary tooling without extra fixtures.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X80 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X80 |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD32X80 |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 80 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 MBLD32X80 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 MBLD32X80 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X80 Is Used
PCB Edge Routing Fixture
Twin rods resist routing torque on a PCB edge-finishing fixture, delivering 346 N of equal push and pull force to hold the panel without rotational drift.
Textile Loom Guide Cut
The rear rod carries a cam to trip a loom thread cutter, using the 80 mm stroke to clear the weaving mechanism while the front rod drives the shear.
Bottle Capper Sync Slide
Drives a guided capping head on a bottling line where the 32 mm bore provides 484 N at 0.7 MPa, ensuring secure cap seating without twisting the chuck.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X80 with MBLD32X80
Replace the MALD32X80 with the MBLD32X80 to retain the 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 rod-end thread. Because this is a non-magnet SKU, it cannot take a sensor; the MBLD upgrade will require CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M. Mount via the body, FA flange, or LB foot, as there is no back-cover or SDB option.
Size on the equal 346 N force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 25 mm bore (206 N at 0.5 MPa). If you need more thrust, step up to the 40 mm bore (528 N at 0.5 MPa). At 80 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but always guide the load to prevent rod binding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD32X80 (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 MBLD32X80 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD32X80 FAQ
Yes, the MALD32X80 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD32X80, matching the 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and equal force. The MBLD uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers.
The MALD32X80 has a 32 mm bore, a G1/8 port, and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 thread. Because it is double-rod, 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. This non-magnet SKU cannot accept a sensor.
