This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X810CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X810CA 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 MAL32X810CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X810CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 810mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X810CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X810CA
The AirTAC MAL32X810CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and an 810mm stroke. Because 810mm exceeds the 500mm standard limit, this SKU was a made-to-order configuration. It delivers 402N of push force and 346N of pull force at 0.5MPa, utilizing a 12mm carbon-steel rod with 20um hard chrome plating. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X810CA, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot cover.
This legacy CA variant features a pivot back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads, which is critical for a 810mm stroke. The original MAL uses threaded front and back covers on the barrel, whereas the MBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. Note that this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet (-S), meaning it cannot accept a position sensor. The piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, and end-of-travel relies on a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL32X810CA 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 MBL32X810CA 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 MAL32X810CA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Drives a traversing thread guide across a 800mm beam, utilizing the 402N push force and CA pivot bracket to absorb angular rod motion.
Pallet Push-off Arm
Pushes packaged boxes onto an adjacent roller line, where the 810mm stroke clears the conveyor width and the pivot mount prevents binding.
Vertical Film Roll Elevator
Lifts a light webbing roll vertically, requiring the full 810mm travel and relying on the self-lubricating bearing to handle extended rod overhang.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X810CA with MBL32X810CA
To replace the MAL32X810CA, order the MBL32X810CA. Verify your setup accommodates the G1/8 port, PT tapered thread, M10x1.25 rod-end, and the CA pivot back cover. If your application requires adjustable end-cushioning to decelerate heavy loads, step up to the current MBLC32 variant, as the MAL only offers a fixed rubber bumper. If you need position sensing, order an MBL32X810CAS instead, noting the sensor family changes from the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
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 0.5MPa. Because the 810mm stroke far exceeds 300mm, the 12mm rod has low side-load tolerance; you must use an external guide rail to prevent rod bending. Furthermore, a plain MBL does not hold its load when air is lost—the rod drifts—so add an external pilot-operated check valve if position holding is required.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X810CA (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 MBL32X810CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X810CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X810CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X810CA, which matches the 32mm bore, 810mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. The MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers, but retains identical output force.
At 0.5MPa it provides 402N push and 346N pull force; at 0.7MPa it provides 563N push, with a maximum theoretical force of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor; the MBL32X810CAS replacement would use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
