This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SCM 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 MTAL32X10SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10SCM 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SCM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10SCM
The AirTAC MTAL32X10SCM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 32mm bore and 10mm stroke. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, providing a fail-safe extended home position. It delivers a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X10SCM, matching the bore, stroke, CM cover, and force class.
This SKU includes the -S magnet and uses the older CS1-M / DS1-M sensor switches. The MTBL upgrade switches to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors and replaces the original threaded covers with a riveted rolling-packed body. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the 12mm carbon-steel rod features a 20 um hard chrome plating for wear resistance.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10SCM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10SCM |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SCM |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SCM 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 MTAL32X10SCM Is Used
Packaging Flap Deflector
Retracts a cardboard flap guide on a carton erector with 261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa, letting the spring safely extend the guide out of the way during jams.
PCB Router Gate
Pulls a routing gate closed on a circuit board depaneling conveyor; the spring-extend fail-safe opens the gate automatically on air loss to prevent board damage.
Lathe Chuck Guard
Draws back a safety interlock pin on a CNC chuck guard, relying on the 12mm hard-chrome rod and fixed rubber bumper to absorb the 10mm stroke impact.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10SCM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SCM
To replace the MTAL32X10SCM, order the MTBL32X10SCM. Confirm the 32mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, M10x1.25 rod thread, CM round-end cover, and FA mounting. Remember the sensor family changes from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. Operating pressure must be at least 0.2 MPa, and you must apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The 10mm stroke is well under the 100mm standard limit, so rod-bending side loads are a minimal concern here.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SCM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10SCM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X10SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X10SCM, which matches the 32mm bore, 10mm stroke, CM cover, and mounting. You only need to update your sensor brackets, as the MTBL uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M / DS1-M.
This single-acting pull cylinder provides a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. It operates on 0.2-1.0 MPa pressure, runs at 50-800 mm/s, and uses a fixed rubber bumper. The fail-safe home position is extended, meaning the internal spring pushes the rod out when air is released.
