This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X40CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X40CM 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 MTAL32X40CM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X40CM is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 40mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X40CM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X40CM
The AirTAC MTAL32X40CM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 32mm bore and 40mm stroke. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, yielding a fail-safe extended home position. This CM round-end cover SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept a position sensor. It delivers a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa.
The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X40CM, matching the bore, stroke, G1/8 port, and CM cover. The MTAL uses threaded covers and older CS1-M/DS1-M switches, whereas the MTBL features a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Both use a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X40CM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X40CM |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X40CM |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 40 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X40CM 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 MTAL32X40CM Is Used
Packaging Flap Deflector
Retracts a cardboard flap guide on a carton erector with 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa, letting the spring extend safely if air drops.
Textile Tension Pull
Draws back a fabric tensioning gate on a loom; the fail-safe extended position releases tension to prevent yarn snapping.
Lathe Chuck Guard
Pulls a safety shield closed on a manual lathe; the spring-extend design ensures the guard pops open on air loss.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X40CM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X40CM
Replace this MTAL32X40CM directly with the MTBL32X40CM. Confirm the 32mm bore, 40mm stroke, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and CM round-end back cover. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot hold a sensor; the MTBL upgrade will require CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Maintain a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure and expect the fail-safe home to be extended.
To size either direction, stepping down to the 25mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa pull force to 137.2 N. Stepping up to the 40mm bore increases the 0.5 MPa pull force to 439.4 N. At 40mm stroke, rod bending is low, but always avoid side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X40CM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X40CM instead of this discontinued model.
