This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X800SU — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X800SU 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 MAL32X800SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800SU 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 MBL32X800SU, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800SU
The AirTAC MAL32X800SU is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and an 800mm made-to-order stroke. It delivers 402N of push force and 346N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X800SU, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and flat-end mounting. You can swap them directly without altering the machine layout.
This specific SKU includes a U flat-end back cover for rigid mounting and a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection. The legacy MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, the MAL -S magnet operates with older CS1-M or DS1-M switches, so upgrading to the MBL means transitioning to current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X800SU 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 MBL32X800SU 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 MAL32X800SU Is Used
PCB Conveyor Diverter
Pushes populated PCB panels between inspection lanes over an 800mm travel, utilizing the 402N push force at 0.5 MPa to overcome guide friction without damaging the board.
Long-Reach Parts Ejector
Ejects molded plastic parts from a deep multi-cavity injection press, using the flat-end U cover to rigidly mount the cylinder base against the machine frame.
Automated Drawer Indexing
Actuates a 800mm travel parts-storage drawer in an assembly cell, relying on the -S magnet to trigger a reed switch for drawer-extended confirmation.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800SU with MBL32X800SU
To replace the MAL32X800SU, order the MBL32X800SU and confirm the 32mm bore, 800mm non-standard stroke, G1/8 port, and PT thread. Because this is a U flat-end model, ensure your mounting bracket handles a rigid rear connection. The -S magnet means you must update your sensing setup: the MBL uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the old CS1-M or DS1-M sensors.
If you need to adjust the force, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 245N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 628N. For this 800mm stroke, the 12mm rod has low side-load tolerance, so you must use an external guide or a pivot bracket to prevent rod bending. Note that the fixed rubber bumper only softens end-of-stroke impacts and does not lock the load; if you need adjustable cushioning, look at the MBLC variant, and for position holding, add an external rod lock.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X800SU (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 MBL32X800SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X800SU FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X800SU is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X800SU, which provides the same 32mm bore, 800mm stroke, G1/8 port, and flat-end U mounting. You just order the MBL equivalent.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402N and the pull force is 346N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563N, and the maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -S magnet on the MAL works with CS1-M or DS1-M switches, but the MBL replacement requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
