This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SU — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SU 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 MTAL32X10SU
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10SU 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SU.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10SU
The AirTAC MTAL32X10SU is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the 12mm rod, while an internal spring extends it, meaning the fail-safe home position is fully extended. It delivers a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X10SU, matching the 32mm bore, 10mm stroke, and G1/8 port.
This SKU includes a U flat-end back cover and a -S magnet. The MTAL uses threaded covers and CS1-M / DS1-M sensors, whereas the MTBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches. It uses a fixed rubber bumper and a hard-chromed carbon-steel rod. Apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke to avoid damaging the internal return mechanism.

| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SU 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 MTAL32X10SU Is Used
Injection Mold Ejector Reset
Pulls an injection mold ejector plate back 10mm against the mold base. The 261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa retracts the plate, while the spring-extend fail-safe ensures the ejector parks clear of the mold cavity on air loss.
CNC Lathe Bar Feed Retract
Draws back a CNC lathe bar feed guide tube. The 32mm bore provides a firm 399.4 N pull at 0.7 MPa to overcome guide friction, and the spring-extended home position prevents stock from creeping forward during machine idle.
Packaging Flap Tensioner
Maintains tension on a packaging carton flap mechanism. Air retracts the rod to release the flap, but the spring-extend fail-safe automatically pulls the tensioner back to its closed home position if the pneumatic air supply drops.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10SU with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SU
To replace the MTAL32X10SU, order the MTBL32X10SU. Confirm the 32mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, U back cover, and the magnet sensor family change from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure and that the fail-safe home is extended. Never apply external load to the spring-extend stroke.
If sizing up or down, the 25mm bore provides 137.2 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, while the 40mm bore offers 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The 10mm stroke is highly compact, keeping rod-bending side-load risks minimal, but always ensure rigid mounting via the U flat-end cover.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SU (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X10SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X10SU FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X10SU is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X10SU. It matches the 32mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U back cover, but upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and changes the magnet sensors from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
The usable pull force is 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa with a minimum of 0.2 MPa. It is single-acting pull, meaning air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. The fail-safe home is extended, and it uses a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion.
