This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X80SCMH — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X80SCMH 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 MAL32X80SCMH

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X80SCMH
The AirTAC MAL32X80SCMH is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and 80mm stroke. It delivers 402N of push force and 346N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, peaking at an 82 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X80SCMH, matching the original bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and mounting footprint.
This legacy SKU features a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing and a CM round-end back cover. The original MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL replacement utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, the MAL -S magnet interfaces with older CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while upgrading to the MBL requires switching to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X80SCMH 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 MBL32X80SCMH 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 MAL32X80SCMH Is Used
CNC Tool Changer
Provides the linear push and pull for a 32mm bore CNC lathe tool changer arm, utilizing 402N of force at 0.5 MPa to positively seat heavy tool holders.
Package Diverter
Actuates a pivot gate on a compact packaging conveyor, using the CM round-end back cover to accommodate slight arcing as it diverts cartons.
Pallet Stopper
Halts small pallets in an assembly cell, where the built-in -S magnet triggers a DS1-M sensor to confirm the stop position before a robot picks the load.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X80SCMH with MBL32X80SCMH
To replace the MAL32X80SCMH, order the MBL32X80SCMH and verify your port plumbing (PT thread, G1/8) and the M10x1.25 rod-end thread. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you must also swap your legacy CS1-M or DS1-M sensors for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches to fit the MBL groove. The CM round-end back cover must be retained for your specific pivot or clevis joint.
If you need to adjust force, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 245N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 628N push at 0.5 MPa. The MAL relies on a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion; if end-of-stroke shock is an issue, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line for an adjustable air cushion. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so use an external rod lock for position holding. At 80mm stroke, side-load risks are minimal, but the 12mm carbon-steel rod still requires alignment.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X80SCMH (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 MBL32X80SCMH instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X80SCMH FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC MAL32X80SCMH is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X80SCMH. It matches the 32mm bore, 80mm stroke, 402N push force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end mounting. You must upgrade your sensors from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
The 32mm bore uses a G1/8 port and a 12mm rod with an M10x1.25 thread. At 0.5 MPa it generates 402N push and 346N pull. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 563N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
