This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X800-S-CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X800-S-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-S-CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800-S-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-S-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800-S-CA
The AirTAC MAL32X800-S-CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a non-standard 800 mm stroke. Built for compact spaces, it delivers 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL32X800-S-CA, a drop-in alternative retaining the exact 32 mm bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection. The older MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. If upgrading, note the MAL -S magnet pairs with legacy CS1-M / DS1-M switches, while the MBL requires the newer CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensor family.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X800-S-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-S-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-S-CA Is Used
Carton Flap Folding
Drives an 800 mm swing arm to fold large corrugated carton flaps on a packaging line, using the 402 N push force and CA pivot to accommodate the wide arc.
Textile Beam Indexing
Shifts heavy textile beams laterally across a weaving machine, where the long stroke clears adjacent equipment and the clevis mount absorbs lateral drift.
Pallet Divider Feeding
Pushes wooden pallet dividers into a stacking magazine, relying on the extended reach and 563 N push at 0.7 MPa to overcome guide friction over the long travel.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800-S-CA with MBL32X800-S-CA
To replace this unit, order the MBL32X800-S-CA, confirming the 32 mm bore, 800 mm non-standard stroke, PT thread, and CA pivot back cover. Because this 800 mm stroke exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum, it is a made-to-order part. If sizing down, the 25 mm bore provides 245 N push at 0.5 MPa; if stepping up, the 40 mm bore yields 628 N.
At 800 mm, the Ø12 mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. The CA clevis back cover is essential here, allowing the cylinder to swing on a pin and absorb arcing misalignment. For rigid mounting without a pivot, add an external guide rail to prevent rod damage. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts but does not hold the load if air pressure drops—install a pilot-operated check valve for position holding. If you need adjustable end-cushioning for this long stroke, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X800-S-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-S-CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800-S-CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X800-S-CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X800-S-CA, matching the 32 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot. Note that the MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers, and the -S magnet requires upgrading from old CS1-M / DS1-M switches to the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors.
At 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore delivers 402 N push and 346 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
