This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10CM 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 MTAL32X10CM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10CM is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10CM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10CM
The AirTAC MTAL32X10CM is a discontinued 32mm bore, single-acting pull mini cylinder with a 10mm stroke. It uses compressed air to retract the rod, while an internal spring extends it to the fail-safe 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 MTBL32X10CM, which matches the bore, stroke, CM round-end back cover, and G1/8 port.
This MTAL32X10CM unit features a non-magnetized rod, meaning it cannot accept a position sensor. As an upgrade fact, the legacy MTAL uses threaded covers, whereas the MTBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. The bore 32 port is G1/8 with a PT tapered thread form, driving a 12mm hard-chrome carbon-steel rod with an M10x1.25 end thread. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and you must apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10CM Technical Specifications

| Stroke | 10 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10CM 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 MTAL32X10CM Is Used
Packaging Flap Deflector
Pulls a cardboard deflector gate on a carton erecting machine with 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The spring-extended fail-safe opens the gate on air loss to prevent carton jams.
Lathe Chuck Unloader
Retracts a pneumatic part pusher to eject a metal workpiece from a lathe chuck. The 10mm short stroke and 399.4 N force at 0.7 MPa provide rapid, precise extraction.
PCB Stencil Wiper
Draws back a squeegee blade on an automated solder paste stencil cleaner. The non-magnetized rod avoids magnetic interference with sensitive electronic components.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10CM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10CM
To replace the MTAL32X10CM, specify the MTBL32X10CM to retain the 32mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and CM round-end back cover. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor; the MTBL upgrade similarly requires an -S suffix to use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum working pressure and that the fail-safe home is EXTENDED on air loss. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
To size this cylinder, step down to the 25mm bore (137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa) for lighter duties, or step up to the 40mm bore (439.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa) for heavier pulls. The 10mm stroke is well within the 100mm standard limit, minimizing rod-bending side-load risks.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10CM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10CM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X10CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X10CM, matching the 32mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM back cover. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
This single-acting pull cylinder has a 32mm bore, 12mm rod, M10x1.25 rod thread, and G1/8 port. It provides a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa, speed is 50-800 mm/s, and it uses a fixed rubber bumper. Because it lacks the -S magnet, it cannot take a CS1-M or DS1-M sensor.
