This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25CA 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 MTAL32X25CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25CA is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25CA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25CA
The AirTAC MTAL32X25CA is a discontinued single-acting pull cylinder with a 25 mm stroke. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it. The fail-safe home is extended. It yields a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X25CA.
This 32 mm bore mini cylinder uses a G1/8 port and a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin for arcing loads. It has fixed rubber bumpers and threaded covers. This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a position sensor. The MTBL32X25CA upgrade uses a riveted body and CMSG sensors.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25CA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25CA |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25CA |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 25 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25CA 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 MTAL32X25CA Is Used
Packaging Flap Folder
Pulls a cardboard flap at 261.2 N during carton sealing. The spring-extended fail-safe releases the flap safely on air loss.
Textile Tension Gate
Retracts a yarn tensioning gate. The CA clevis swings on a pin to absorb arcing motion. The spring extends the gate when air stops.
CNC Chip Deflector
Draws back a lathe chip deflector. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs the 25 mm stroke impact. No sensor is needed for this blind motion.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25CA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25CA
Replace the MTAL32X25CA with the MTBL32X25CA. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA clevis, and the 0.2 MPa minimum pressure. The fail-safe home is extended. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke. Step down to a 25 mm bore (137.2 N at 0.5 MPa) or up to a 40 mm bore (439.4 N at 0.5 MPa).
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25CA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25CA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X25CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X25CA. It matches the 32 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, CA clevis, and G1/8 port. The MTBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers.
The usable pull force is 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The maximum holding force is roughly 40 kgf. This SKU has no magnet and cannot take a position sensor. The MTBL upgrade uses CMSG sensors.
