This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25CM 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 MTAL32X25CM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25CM 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25CM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25CM
The AirTAC MTAL32X25CM is a discontinued 32mm bore, single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 25mm stroke. Air retracts the 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 MTBL32X25CM, which matches the bore, stroke, CM round-end back cover, and G1/8 port.
This MTAL32X25CM SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor. The older MTAL line features threaded covers, whereas the current MTBL upgrade uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Both share a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke to avoid damaging the internal mechanism.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25CM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25CM |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25CM |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25CM 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 MTAL32X25CM Is Used
Packaging Flap Folding
Retracts a 25mm stroke flap-folding arm on a carton sealer, using 261.2 N of pull at 0.5 MPa to clear the path before the spring extends it back out of the way.
Textile Tension Release
Pulls a fabric tensioning guide back 25mm during machine stoppage; the spring-extended fail-safe home safely loosens the web when air pressure drops.
PCB Shuttle Draw-back
Retracts a 32mm bore shuttle pin on an SMT loader, using the 399.4 N pull force at 0.7 MPa to disengage before the spring pushes the pin out to park the mechanism.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25CM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25CM
To replace this MTAL32X25CM, use the drop-in MTBL32X25CM. Confirm your 32mm bore, 25mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and CM round-end back cover. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor; if you need sensing, the MTBL upgrade requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Maintain a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure and remember the fail-safe home is extended.
For sizing, this 32mm bore yields 261.2 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down, the 25mm bore offers 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. Stepping up, the 40mm bore provides 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. Since the stroke is 25mm, side-load and rod-bending risks are minimal.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25CM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25CM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X25CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X25CM, matching the 32mm bore, 25mm stroke, CM cover, and G1/8 port. The MTBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers.
It is single-acting pull, delivering 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa (max 40.7 kgf). Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. The MTBL replacement uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
