This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100SCA 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 MTAL32X100SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100SCA 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100SCA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100SCA
The AirTAC MTAL32X100SCA is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, meaning the fail-safe home position is fully extended. At 0.5 MPa it provides a usable pull force of 261.2 N. The direct drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X100SCA, matching the 32mm bore, 100mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA mounting.
This MTAL32X100S CA variant includes a magnet (-S) for CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches and a CA back cover that pivots on a pin for arcing loads. The MTAL uses threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, while the MTBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100SCA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100SCA |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100SCA |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100SCA 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 MTAL32X100SCA Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Pulls an ejector pin back inside a 32mm mold base against 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa, relying on the spring-extend fail-safe to park the pin safely out of the mold cavity on air loss.
Packaging Flap Tensioning
Draws a sealing arm backward on a continuous flow wrapper, using the CA pivot cover to absorb arcing motion while maintaining tension during the packaging cycle.
PCB Test Probe Retract
Retracts a testing probe head using the -S magnet and CS1-M switch for position confirmation, pulling delicate test fixtures away from populated circuit boards.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100SCA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100SCA
To replace this MTAL32X100SCA, install the drop-in MTBL32X100SCA. Confirm the 32mm bore, 100mm stroke, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, CA pivot cover, and the -S magnet (noting the sensor family changes from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG). Maintain the 0.2 MPa minimum working pressure and remember the fail-safe state is extended. At 100mm stroke, watch for rod-bending side loads.
If stepping sizes, the next size down is the 25mm bore providing 137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The next size up is the 40mm bore with a G1/4 port yielding 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact; it is not an adjustable cushion or a load lock.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100SCA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100SCA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X100SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X100SCA, matching the 32mm bore, 100mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA cover. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M switches.
The usable single-acting pull force is 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa with a minimum of 0.2 MPa. Speed is 50-800 mm/s. The 32mm bore uses a 12mm rod, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and a fixed rubber bumper.
