This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL32X100SCA, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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 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 direct 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 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.

| 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 direct replacement 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 direct 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.
