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

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800-S-CM
The AirTAC MAL32X800-S-CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a non-standard 800mm stroke, delivering 402N of push force at 0.5MPa. Because this stroke exceeds the 500mm standard limit, it was produced as a made-to-order item. AirTAC replaced the MAL line with the MBL series; the exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X800-S-CM, matching the 32mm bore, G1/8 port, and CM round-end back cover.
This legacy SKU features a built-in magnet (-S) designed for the older CS1-M and DS1-M reed switches, whereas the modern MBL replacement utilizes the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families. The original MAL body used threaded front and back covers, while the upgraded MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body for equally robust performance. Both generations rely on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts, as neither offers an adjustable air cushion; if your application requires cushioning, you must step up to the MBLC variant on the current line.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X800-S-CM 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-CM 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-CM Is Used
Textile Loom Beam Indexing
Drives the 800mm indexing stroke on a weaving loom to shift heavy fabric beams, relying on the 402N push force at 0.5MPa to overcome initial rolling friction.
Pallet Transfer Pusher
Actuates a long-stroke pusher on a packaging conveyor, utilizing the CM round-end back cover to accommodate slight pivot misalignments during the extended transfer.
Vertical Tray Magazine Lift
Elevates stacked component trays in an assembly magazine, where the -S magnet confirms the full 800mm retraction via a CS1-M sensor before the next cycle begins.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800-S-CM with MBL32X800-S-CM
To replace the MAL32X800-S-CM, order the MBL32X800-S-CM and ensure your control system updates from the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Verify your porting matches the G1/8 thread and the CM round-end back cover fits your existing clevis or joint. Because this cylinder lacks an adjustable cushion and cannot hold position without air, consider an external rod lock for vertical loads.
At 800mm of travel, the 12mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under lateral stress; an external guide rail is strongly recommended to prevent premature seal failure. If you need to adjust the force output, stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 245N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to a 40mm bore provides 628N push at 0.5MPa.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X800-S-CM (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-CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800-S-CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X800-S-CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X800-S-CM, offering the same 32mm bore, 800mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end mounting. Note that the -S magnet on the legacy MAL uses CS1-M/DS1-M switches, while the MBL replacement requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
This double-acting cylinder has a non-standard made-to-order stroke of 800mm. At 0.5MPa it provides 402N of push force and 346N of pull force. At 0.7MPa the push force increases to 563N, with a theoretical maximum of 82kgf at 1.0MPa.
