This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X800CASDB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X800CASDB 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 MAL32X800CASDB
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800CASDB 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 MBL32X800CASDB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800CASDB
The AirTAC MAL32X800CASDB is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder built for an 800 mm stroke. As a made-to-order non-standard stroke exceeding the 500 mm maximum, it delivers 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL32X800CASDB, a drop-in alternative matching the exact bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and SDB mounting.
This legacy SKU features a CA pivot back cover and SDB pivot bracket to absorb arcing side-loads, which is critical given the 12 mm carbon-steel rod's vulnerability to bending over 800 mm. Unlike the threaded covers on this MAL, the MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this specific code 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 MBL32X800CASDB 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 MBL32X800CASDB 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 MAL32X800CASDB Is Used
Textile Yarn Guide
Shifts a yarn guide carriage across an 800 mm beam, utilizing the 402 N thrust at 0.5 MPa and the CA pivot bracket to absorb slight angular misalignment during rapid traverse.
Pallet Push-Off Arm
Ejects loaded pallets from a packaging cell, where the 346 N pull force safely retracts the 32 mm bore rod over 800 mm without drifting when air pressure is removed.
Warehouse Sorter Diverter
Actuates a sorting flap on a logistics conveyor, relying on the SDB pivot bracket to manage arcing motion while the fixed rubber bumper softens the end of stroke.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800CASDB with MBL32X800CASDB
To replace the MAL32X800CASDB, order the MBL32X800CASDB and verify your PT port threads, CA clevis back cover, and SDB pivot bracket. If your machine requires end-of-stroke sensing, note that this no-magnet legacy SKU cannot support a sensor; the MBL upgrade would need an -S code and the newer CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches rather than the older CS1-M/DS1-M family. The fixed rubber bumper on the MAL cannot be adjusted; if your 800 mm stroke requires adjustable air cushioning, step up to the current-line MBLC variant.
For sizing, the 32 mm bore pushes 402 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 25 mm bore (245 N push); if you need more power, step up to the 40 mm bore (628 N push). At 800 mm, the thin 12 mm rod has low side-load tolerance, so an external guide rail is strongly recommended to prevent rod bending. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for vertical or held-load safety.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X800CASDB (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 MBL32X800CASDB instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800CASDB FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X800CASDB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X800CASDB, which matches the 32 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, force, G1/8 port, and SDB mounting. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design, and because this legacy SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor.
The 32 mm bore uses a G1/8 port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 thread. It generates 402 N push and 346 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 800 mm stroke is a non-standard made-to-order length exceeding the 500 mm standard maximum.
