This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X80SCASDB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X80SCASDB 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 MAL32X80SCASDB
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X80SCASDB is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 80mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X80SCASDB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X80SCASDB
The AirTAC MAL32X80SCASDB is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with an 80mm stroke. It delivers 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa, utilizing a 12mm carbon-steel rod with 20um hard chrome plating. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X80SCASDB, matching the bore, force, G1/8 port, and SDB mounting.
This legacy SKU includes a -S magnet for CS1-M/DS1-M sensors and a CA pivot back cover. The MBL upgrade shifts to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. It relies on a fixed rubber bumper, not a lock, so loads drift without air pressure.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X80SCASDB 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 MBL32X80SCASDB 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 MAL32X80SCASDB Is Used
PCB Router Gantry Pivot
Drives a pivoting cutting head on a PCB depaneling router, using the 402N push at 0.5MPa to cleanly shear routing paths while the CA clevis absorbs gantry arc.
Bottle Capper Tilt Arm
Actuates a tilt mechanism on a rotary bottle capping machine, where the 346N pull force retracts the cap tightener and the SDB bracket allows swing clearance.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds minor flaps on a case packing line, using the 80mm stroke to clear passing cartons while the fixed rubber bumper softens the extend stop without external shock.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X80SCASDB with MBL32X80SCASDB
To replace this cylinder, order the MBL32X80SCASDB. Confirm the 32mm bore, 80mm stroke, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, and SDB pivot bracket. The -S magnet means your old CS1-M/DS1-M sensors must be upgraded to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. If you need adjustable end-cushioning, step up to the MBLC variant.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 245N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 628N push. At 80mm stroke, side-load risk is moderate; the CA clevis and SDB pivot bracket absorb arcing loads, but a plain cylinder does not hold position without air.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X80SCASDB (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 MBL32X80SCASDB instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X80SCASDB FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X80SCASDB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X80SCASDB, which matches the 32mm bore, 80mm stroke, CA pivot cover, SDB mounting, and G1/8 port. You must upgrade your sensors from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
The MAL32X80SCASDB provides 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5MPa, 563N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping, which is not adjustable; for adjustable air cushioning, use the current MBLC series.
