This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100SCM 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 MTAL32X100SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100SCM 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100SCM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100SCM
The AirTAC MTAL32X100SCM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 100 mm stroke. Air retracts the rod, while an internal spring extends it, meaning the fail-safe home position is extended. It delivers a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X100SCM, matching the bore, stroke, and G1/8 port.
This SKU includes a magnet (-S) for CS1-M / DS1-M switches, whereas the MTBL replacement uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The MTAL features threaded covers and a CM round-end back cover, while the MTBL upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the hard-chrome carbon-steel rod resists corrosion.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100SCM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100SCM |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100SCM |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100SCM 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 MTAL32X100SCM Is Used
Injection Mold Ejector
Pulls an injection mold ejector pin back against the 261.2 N force at 0.5 MPa, using the spring-extend fail-safe to clear the mold cavity on air loss.
PCB Test Fixture
Retracts a PCB test probe array over a 100 mm gap, relying on the CS1-M magnet to confirm the pull stroke before the test cycle begins.
Packaging Flap Closer
Draws back a packaging carton flap guide using the 399.4 N pull force at 0.7 MPa, releasing the flap when air is removed.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100SCM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100SCM
To replace this MTAL32X100SCM with the MTBL32X100SCM, confirm the 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, CM back cover, and the magnet sensor family change. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure and that the fail-safe home is extended. Apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke. At 100 mm stroke, watch for rod bending under side loads.
If sizing up or down, the 25 mm bore pulls 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 40 mm bore pulls 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose based on your exact load.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100SCM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100SCM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X100SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X100SCM, matching the 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM mounting. The MTBL upgrades the threaded covers to a riveted body and changes the sensor family from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
It is single-acting pull, so air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. The fail-safe home is extended. The usable pull force is 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The minimum operating pressure is 0.2 MPa.
