This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL32X15CA, 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 MTAL32X15CA
The AirTAC MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X15CA is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X15CA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X15CA
The AirTAC MTAL32X15CA is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 15 mm stroke and 32 mm bore. 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 MTBL32X15CA, matching the bore, stroke, CA pivot cover, and G1/8 port.
This MTAL32X15CA features a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to absorb arcing loads. It uses threaded covers, whereas the MTBL32X15CA upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. This SKU lacks the -S magnet option, so it cannot accept a position sensor (the MTBL upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches). A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X15CA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X15CA |

| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X15CA |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 15 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X15CA 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 MTAL32X15CA Is Used
Packaging Flap Folder
Pulls a mechanical flap folder on a carton sealer. The 261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa securely retracts the guide, and the spring-extend fail-safe clears the path when air is cut.
Textile Beam Tensioner
Draws back a warp beam tensioning arm on a loom. The CA pivot clevis accommodates the arcing swing of the arm, while the 15 mm stroke provides precise, short pull.
Stamping Die Ejector
Retracts a small ejector pin inside a progressive stamping die. The 399.4 N pull at 0.7 MPa overcomes die-stripping forces, and the fixed rubber bumper softens the retracted stop.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X15CA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X15CA
To replace the MTAL32X15CA, use the MTBL32X15CA. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, G1/8 port, and CA pivot cover. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa. Never apply an external load on the spring-extend stroke, as the fail-safe home is extended.
If sizing a new build, step down to the 25 mm bore (137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa) for lighter tasks, or step up to the 40 mm bore (439.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa) for heavier pulls. The 15 mm stroke is short, minimizing rod-bending side-load risks.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X15CA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X15CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X15CA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X15CA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL32X15CA, which matches the 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, CA pivot cover, and G1/8 port. The MTBL upgrade uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers.
This single-acting pull cylinder delivers 261.2 N of usable pull force at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. The MTBL32X15CA replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
