This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X30CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X30CM 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 MTAL32X30CM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X30CM is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X30CM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X30CM
The AirTAC MTAL32X30CM is a discontinued single-acting pull cylinder with a 30mm stroke. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, meaning the fail-safe home position is fully extended. This 32mm bore mini cylinder delivers a usable pull force of 261.2N at 0.5 MPa. It uses a G1/8 port and a CM round-end back cover.
The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X30CM, matching the bore, stroke, port, and force. Upgrading brings a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the MTAL's threaded covers. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor (unlike the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches used on the MTBL). It relies on a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X30CM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X30CM |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X30CM |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 30 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X30CM 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 MTAL32X30CM Is Used
Packaging Flap Tucking
Pulls a mechanical tucker arm to fold corrugated carton flaps at 261.2N, using the spring-extended home position to safely clear the packaging path on air loss.
Lathe Chuck Guard
Retracts a safety guard door on a CNC lathe during machining cycles, relying on the fail-safe extended position to block operator access if air pressure drops.
Pneumatic Drawer Latch
Draws back a spring-loaded locking pin on an assembly slide; the 30mm stroke provides precise clearance for part loading while the fixed bumper absorbs the stop impact.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X30CM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X30CM
To replace this MTAL32X30CM, specify the MTBL32X30CM to match the 32mm bore, 30mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and CM round-end cover. Remember the minimum operating pressure is 0.2 MPa. The fail-safe state is extended, so apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
If you need to step down, the 25mm bore neighbor provides 137.2N of pull at 0.5 MPa. If you need more power, stepping up to the 40mm bore yields 439.4N at 0.5 MPa (using a G1/4 port). Since the 30mm stroke is under the 100mm standard maximum, rod-bending side loads are not a primary concern here.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X30CM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X30CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X30CM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X30CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X30CM, which matches the 32mm bore, 30mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM cover. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
This single-acting pull cylinder provides a usable pull force of 261.2N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4N at 0.7 MPa (maximum 399.4N, approx 40.7 kgf). Its fail-safe home position is extended, meaning the internal spring pushes the rod out when air is released. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor.
