This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X30SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X30SCM 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 MTAL32X30SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X30SCM 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X30SCM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X30SCM
The AirTAC MTAL32X30SCM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod to do the work, while an internal spring extends it back out when air is released. This 32mm bore unit provides a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X30SCM, matching the 30mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM mounting.
This MTAL32X30SCM SKU includes the -S magnet for position sensing with CS1-M or DS1-M switches; the MTBL upgrade uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MTAL features threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, whereas the MTBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Remember that the fail-safe home is extended, and no external load should be applied to the spring extend stroke.

| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X30SCM 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 MTAL32X30SCM Is Used
Packaging Lid Press
Pulls a carton lid mechanism shut with 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa, relying on the spring to safely release the clamp when air drops.
PCB Router Clamp
Draws back a tooling clamp on a 30mm stroke during board routing, ensuring the gripper opens if compressed air is lost.
Textile Tension Gate
Retracts a yarn tensioning gate using 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa, letting the internal spring push the gate out to rest position.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X30SCM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X30SCM
To replace your MTAL32X30SCM, order the MTBL32X30SCM. Confirm the 32mm bore, 30mm stroke, M10x1.25 rod thread, G1/8 PT port, and CM round-end back cover. Swap your CS1-M/DS1-M sensors for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The system requires a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure. The spring-extend fail-safe parks the rod out, so never apply external load to the extend stroke.
To size this cylinder, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 137.2 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. Stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. This 32mm model delivers 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum standard stroke limit of 100mm.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X30SCM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X30SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X30SCM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X30SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X30SCM. It matches the 32mm bore, 30mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM back cover. You must upgrade your CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder, so air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. The fail-safe home is extended. The usable pull force is 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The maximum standard stroke is 100mm, and it requires a minimum of 0.2 MPa operating pressure.
