This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100U — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100U 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 MTAL32X100U
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100U 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100U.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100U
The AirTAC MTAL32X100U is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod, while an internal spring extends it. The fail-safe home is extended. It delivers 261.2 N of usable pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X100U.
This 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke SKU features a G1/8 port and a U flat-end back cover. It lacks a magnet, so it cannot take a position sensor. The MTAL uses threaded covers and older CS1-M/DS1-M switches, while the MTBL upgrade uses a riveted body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.

| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100U |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100U 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 MTAL32X100U Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Pulls the mold ejection plate back 100 mm against 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa, ensuring the spring extends it out safely when air drops.
PCB Stencil Wipe
Retracts the squeegee arm on a solder paste printer; the U flat-end cover mounts rigidly while the spring clears the blade on air loss.
Press Brake Tooling
Draws a small upper punch holder out of the way; the 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa handles the tool weight without needing a double-acting line.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100U with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100U
Replace the MTAL32X100U with the MTBL32X100U. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and U flat-end cover. Since this SKU has no magnet, you lose all sensing; upgrading to an MTBL with an S suffix allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Maintain a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure. The fail-safe home is extended, and the fixed rubber bumper is not a lock.
At 100 mm stroke, watch for rod-bending under side loads. To size down, the 25 mm bore gives 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. To size up, the 40 mm bore gives 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The full force set: [email protected]=261.2 N, [email protected]=399.4 N. Max kgf is 40.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100U (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X100U instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X100U FAQ
Yes, it is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X100U, matching the 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U cover. The MTBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers.
The usable pull force is 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa, with a max of 40.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The fail-safe home is extended, meaning the spring pushes the rod out on air loss. Minimum pressure is 0.2 MPa.
