This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25SCM 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 MTAL32X25SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25SCM 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25SCM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25SCM
The AirTAC MTAL32X25SCM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it. It delivers a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X25SCM.
This 32 mm bore unit features a CM round-end back cover and a magnet for position sensing. The original MTAL uses threaded covers and CS1-M or DS1-M switches. The MTBL replacement upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25SCM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25SCM |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25SCM |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25SCM 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 MTAL32X25SCM Is Used
Textile Loom Tension Draw
Pulls a thread guide carriage back to its rest position with 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa, ensuring the mechanism parks extended during a loom power loss.
CNC Lathe Chuck Release
Retracts a secondary collet actuator against spring pressure; the CM round-end cover fits tight lathe headstock cavities without protruding.
PCB Degating Arm Pull
Draws back a plastic degating blade from an electronics assembly fixture; the spring-extend fail-safe clears the board on air loss.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25SCM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25SCM
Replace this MTAL32X25SCM with the MTBL32X25SCM. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and CM round-end cover. The MTBL matches these exactly. Note the sensor family change from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Maintain a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure. The fail-safe home is extended. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
Size both ways: step down to 25 mm bore for 137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or up to 40 mm bore for 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25SCM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25SCM FAQ
Yes, it is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X25SCM. It matches the 32 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM cover. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and switches sensors to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder, so air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. The usable pull force is 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The fail-safe home is extended. It requires a 3/2 valve and a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure.
