This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100CA in place of this model. The replacement upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (the MAL used CS1-M / DS1-M).
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100CA is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm stroke, G1/8 ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Air drives the pull (work) stroke and the spring returns the rod — it rests extended on air loss. This model is discontinued; the drop-in replacement is the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100CA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100CA
The AirTAC MTAL32X100CA is a discontinued single-acting pull mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 100 mm stroke. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, yielding a fail-safe extended home position. It delivers a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa.
The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X100CA, matching the CA pivot back cover, G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 rod thread. The MTAL features threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, while the MTBL upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this specific MTAL SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept a position sensor.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100CA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100CA |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100CA |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 100 mm |
| Acting type | Single acting, pull (spring extend) |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.2 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 50 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed rubber bumper |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 100 mm |
Single-acting minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa (the air must overcome the return spring). Do not apply an external load during the spring return stroke. The AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100CA carries the same single-acting ratings.
Usable Pull Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (net of spring) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 261.2 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 399.4 N |
Usable single-acting force after the return spring — lower than a same-bore double-acting cylinder. Size with a margin.

Where the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100CA Is Used
CNC Lathe Door Unlatch
Pulls a spring-loaded safety door pin on a CNC lathe. The 261.2 N pull force at 0.5 MPa easily overcomes the mechanism, while the fail-safe extended position locks the door open during air loss.
PCB Test Fixture Clamp
Retracts a hold-down clamp on a printed circuit board test fixture. The 100 mm stroke provides full clearance for board loading, and the spring-extend design automatically releases the clamp on air loss.
Textile Tension Draw-Back
Draws back a yarn tensioning guide on a textile machine. The CA pivot cover accommodates the slight angular misalignment of the lever arm, while the 399.4 N force at 0.7 MPa handles high thread tension.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100CA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100CA
To replace the MTAL32X100CA, order the MTBL32X100CA. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread form, and CA pivot back cover. This CA cover swings on a pin to absorb arcing loads. The MTBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, but since this MTAL SKU has no magnet, it cannot take a sensor. Maintain a minimum 0.2 MPa working pressure and apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
For sizing flexibility, step down to the 25 mm bore (137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa) for lighter tensioning, or step up to the 40 mm bore (439.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa) for heavier draw-back. At the 100 mm maximum standard stroke, verify mounting alignment to prevent rod-bending side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100CA (same bore/stroke/force)
- ✓ Same pull direction and extended fail-safe home
- ✓ Min 0.2 MPa; no external load on the spring return
- ✓ Sensor: swap CS1-M/DS1-M → CMSG/DMSG/EMSG
- ✓ 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 0.2 – 1.0 MPa (min 0.2 to overcome the spring).
- check Apply no external load on the spring return stroke.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Front/rear covers are threaded — not for field disassembly.
- check For new builds, specify the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100CA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X100CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X100CA, which matches the 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, CA pivot back cover, G1/8 port, and force class. The MTBL upgrades the threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder where air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. The fail-safe home is extended. Usable pull force is 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
