This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL32X10SCA, 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 MTAL32X10SCA
The AirTAC MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10SCA 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 direct replacement is the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SCA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10SCA
The AirTAC MTAL32X10SCA is a discontinued single-acting pull mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, yielding a fail-safe EXTENDED home position. It delivers 261.2 N of usable pull force at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MTBL32X10SCA, matching the 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA mount.
This MTAL32X10SCA code includes the -S magnet (compatible with CS1-M / DS1-M switches; the MTBL replacement uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG). It features a Ø12 mm hard-chrome rod with M10x1.25 end threads, a fixed rubber bumper, and threaded covers, whereas the MTBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The CA back cover provides a pivot clevis for arcing loads. Apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10SCA Technical Specifications

| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SCA 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 MTAL32X10SCA Is Used
Lathe Chuck Gate Release
Pulls a 261.2 N latch at 0.5 MPa to open a lathe chuck guard, using the spring-extend fail-safe to auto-open the gate on air loss.
PCB Test Fixture Drawback
Retracts a test probe plate out of the way; the internal spring safely extends the rod to park the probes when the 3/2 valve is vented.
Packaging Flap Tensioner
Uses the CA pivot clevis to swing and maintain 399.4 N of pull tension at 0.7 MPa on an arcing packaging flap guide arm.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10SCA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SCA
To replace the MTAL32X10SCA, use the MTBL32X10SCA. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot mount, and the -S magnet (which changes the sensor family from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG). Operating pressure must be at least 0.2 MPa. Remember the fail-safe home is EXTENDED, and never apply external load to the spring-extend stroke.
For sizing alternatives, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The 10 mm stroke is compact, but always guard against side-load rod-bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SCA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10SCA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X10SCA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL32X10SCA, matching the 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/8 port, CA mount, and -S magnet. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder, so air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. The fail-safe home is EXTENDED. Usable pull force is 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa (max 40.7 kgf). Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.
