This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X800-CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X800-CA in place of this model. The MBL replacement upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensor switches (the MAL used CS1-M / DS1-M).
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800-CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800-CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 800mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X800-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800-CA
The AirTAC MAL32X800-CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with an 800 mm stroke. Because 800 mm exceeds the 500 mm maximum standard, this is a non-standard, made-to-order configuration. It delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a G1/8 port and a Ø12 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard-chrome plating. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X800-CA, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and CA pivot mounting exactly.
This legacy unit features a CA pivot clevis back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads, which is critical for an 800 mm stroke that demands high side-load tolerance. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a CS1-M or DS1-M position sensor.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X800-CA carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
The MBL32X800-CA produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800-CA Is Used
Textile Loom Beam Indexing
Drives a 800 mm stroke to shift heavy fabric beams between dyeing stations, relying on the 402 N push force and CA pivot to absorb angular misalignment during transfer.
Automotive Door Panel Press
Actuates a forming die across a wide fixture, using the 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa to return the assembly while the long stroke accommodates varied panel widths.
Warehouse Carton Sorter
Pushes oversized packaging bins down a 800 mm diverter lane, where the fixed rubber bumper absorbs the end-of-stroke impact without requiring an external shock absorber.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800-CA with MBL32X800-CA
To replace the MAL32X800-CA, order the MBL32X800-CA. Confirm your bore size, the 800 mm non-standard stroke, the G1/8 port, the default PT thread, and the CA pivot back cover. If you require an adjustable air cushion to soften the abrupt stops of this long stroke—which the fixed rubber bumper on the MAL cannot provide—step up to the current-line MBLC32X800-CA. If sizing down for a shorter stroke, the 25 mm bore offers 245 N push at 0.5 MPa; if you need more force, the 40 mm bore provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. Note that a plain MBL does not hold its position when air is lost, so for a suspended load, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. For any stroke of 300 mm or more, the small Ø12 mm rod has low side-load tolerance; always use an external guide rail alongside the CA pivot to prevent rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X800-CA (same bore/stroke/force)
- ✓ Same G1/8 port and mounting accessories
- ✓ Sensor: swap CS1-M/DS1-M → CMSG/DMSG/EMSG
- ✓ Need a cushion? use MBLC (adjustable air cushion)
- ✓ Confirm back cover (CA / U) and thread (PT/NPT/G)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.1 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Front/rear covers are threaded — not intended for field disassembly.
- check Use the correct mounting accessory (LB / FA / SDB) and back cover (CA / U / CM).
- check For new builds, specify the MBL32X800-CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800-CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X800-CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X800-CA, offering the same 32 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. The modern MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the older threaded covers.
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 402 N push and 346 N pull; at 0.7 MPa, it provides 563 N push; the maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor; the MBL replacement with -S uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M.
