This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X15CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X15CM 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 MTAL32X15CM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X15CM 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 drop-in replacement is the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X15CM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X15CM
The AirTAC MTAL32X15CM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, yielding 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 MTBL32X15CM, matching the 32mm bore, 15mm stroke, and G1/8 port.
This MTAL features a fixed rubber bumper and a CM round-end back cover. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S option, it cannot accept a position sensor. The MTBL upgrade retains the same force class but moves to a riveted rolling-packed body and modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.

| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X15CM |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X15CM 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 MTAL32X15CM Is Used
Injection Mold Ejector Pull
Retracts an ejection pin on a 261.2 N air stroke at 0.5 MPa; the internal spring safely extends the pin back out on air loss.
Packaging Flap Deflector
Pulls a cardboard flap guide out of the way during carton filling, relying on the 15mm stroke for fast, short travel.
Textile Loom Tension Gate
Draws back a yarn tensioning gate; the fail-safe extended position keeps the yarn path open during a compressed air drop.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X15CM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X15CM
To replace this MTAL32X15CM with the MTBL32X15CM, confirm the 32mm bore, 15mm stroke, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, CM cover, and lack of a magnet. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure and the fail-safe EXTENDED home. Never apply external load on the spring extend stroke.
For sizing, this 32mm bore gives 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 25mm bore (137.2 N at 0.5 MPa). If you need more force, step up to the 40mm bore (439.4 N at 0.5 MPa).
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X15CM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X15CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X15CM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X15CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X15CM, which matches the 32mm bore, 15mm stroke, CM cover, and force class. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
The usable pull force is 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa, with a minimum working pressure of 0.2 MPa. It is a single-acting pull cylinder: air retracts the rod and the spring extends it, meaning the fail-safe home position is EXTENDED.
