This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL32X850SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL32X850SCM 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 MAL32X850SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X850SCM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 850mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL32X850SCM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X850SCM
The AirTAC MAL32X850SCM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 32mm bore and an 850mm stroke. Because 850mm exceeds the 500mm standard maximum, this unit was a made-to-order configuration delivering 402N push and 346N pull at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy series with the MBL32X850SCM, a drop-in upgrade retaining the exact bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end back cover.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) and a CM round-end back cover. The original MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, the -S magnet on this discontinued cylinder operates with the older CS1-M and DS1-M reed switches; 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 MBL32X850SCM 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 MBL32X850SCM 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 MAL32X850SCM Is Used
Textile Loom Beam Indexing
Drives the long horizontal indexing stroke for a textile loom beam changer, using the 850mm travel to shift heavy warp beams between processing stations.
PCB Panel Transfer Conveyor
Pushes large PCB panels across an extended transfer conveyor in electronics assembly, where the 402N force at 0.5 MPa easily overcomes guide friction over 850mm.
Warehouse Tote Pusher
Ejects storage totes from high-density shuttle racks in automated warehousing, utilizing the full 850mm stroke to clear the storage lane completely.
Replacing the Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X850SCM with MBL32X850SCM
To replace the MAL32X850SCM, order the MBL32X850SCM. Verify your 32mm bore, 850mm non-standard stroke, PT tapered port thread, and CM round-end back cover. Because this unit has the -S magnet, you must swap your legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. If your application requires adjustable end-cushioning to absorb the heavy impact of an 850mm stroke, step up to the MBLC variant, as the MAL only has a fixed rubber bumper.
For sizing flexibility, 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. At 850mm, the 12mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. You must use an external guide rail or pivot the CM cover to prevent rod damage. Furthermore, this cylinder will drift and drop its load if air pressure is lost—the rubber bumper only softens the end of stroke and does not act as a lock.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL32X850SCM (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 MBL32X850SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL32 Aluminum Alloy Mini Air Cylinder MAL32X850SCM FAQ
Yes, the MAL32X850SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL32X850SCM, which matches the 32mm bore, 850mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end cover. You must update your sensors, as the MBL uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M or DS1-M reed sensors.
The 32mm bore uses a 12mm carbon-steel rod with an M10x1.25 rod-end thread and a G1/8 port. At 0.5 MPa, it delivers 402N push and 346N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563N, and the maximum theoretical force is 82kgf at 1.0 MPa.
