This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25SU — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25SU 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 MTAL32X25SU
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25SU 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25SU.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25SU
The AirTAC MTAL32X25SU is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod, while an internal spring extends it. Fail-safe home is extended. It delivers a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X25SU.
This 32mm bore unit features a G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and a U flat-end back cover. It uses a fixed rubber bumper. The -S magnet uses CS1-M/DS1-M switches; the MTBL replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a riveted body.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25SU Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25SU |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25SU |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25SU 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 MTAL32X25SU Is Used
Packaging Lid Pull
Retracts to pull a carton lid on a packaging line, using its 261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The spring-extended fail-safe opens the clamp on air loss to safely release the box.
Lathe Chuck Unload
Draws a finished part out of a lathe chuck. The 399.4 N pull at 0.7 MPa handles the extraction, while the extended fail-safe parks the gripper out of the spindle zone.
PCB Test Probe Lift
Pulls a pneumatic test probe head away from a PCB bed. The single-acting design uses one 3/2 valve, and the spring ensures the probes lift clear if air pressure drops.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25SU with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25SU
Replace this MTAL32X25SU with the MTBL32X25SU. Confirm the 32mm bore, 25mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, U flat-end back cover, and magnet. The MTBL upgrades the sensor family to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG and the body to a riveted design. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa. The fail-safe home is extended. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
If sizing down, the 25mm bore gives 137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If sizing up, the 40mm bore gives 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. This 25mm stroke is under the 100mm standard limit, so rod-bending side-load risks are minimal.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25SU (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X25SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X25SU FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X25SU is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X25SU. It matches the 32mm bore, 25mm stroke, G1/8 port, U back cover, and mounting. The MTBL upgrades the threaded covers to a riveted body and changes the -S magnet sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
The usable pull force is 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The maximum force is 399.4 N (40.7 kgf). It is a single-acting pull cylinder, so air retracts the rod and the internal spring extends it. The fail-safe home position is extended, meaning the rod pushes out on air loss.
