This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL32X40SCA, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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 MTAL32X40SCA
The AirTAC MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X40SCA 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 direct replacement is the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X40SCA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X40SCA
The AirTAC MTAL32X40SCA is a discontinued single-acting pull 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. It delivers 261.2 N of usable pull force at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The direct replacement is the MTBL32X40SCA, retaining the same force, G1/8 port, and CA clevis.
This SKU features the -S magnet for CS1-M / DS1-M switches, whereas the MTBL upgrade uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The legacy MTAL uses threaded covers, while the MTBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. The CA back cover acts as a pivot clevis that swings on a pin to absorb arcing loads. Apply no external load to the spring extend stroke, as the fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-travel impact but provides no powered mid-stroke hold.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X40SCA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X40SCA |

| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X40SCA |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X40SCA 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 MTAL32X40SCA Is Used
Packaging Flap Pull-down
Retracts a carton sealing arm with 261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa, relying on the spring-extended fail-safe to clear the packaging path during air loss.
Lathe Chuck Ejection
Pulls a lathe collet actuator back 40mm; the CA pivot clevis handles the slight arcing motion as the mechanism cycles.
PCB Tensioning Station
Draws a delicate electronic board test probe into position, using the single-acting pull stroke before releasing tension via the internal spring.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X40SCA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X40SCA
To replace this MTAL32X40SCA with the MTBL32X40SCA, confirm the 32mm bore, 40mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot clevis, and -S magnet. Remember the sensor family changes from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. Maintain a 0.2 MPa minimum working pressure and expect the fail-safe home to be extended. For sizing flexibility, step down to the 25mm bore for lighter tasks (137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa) or step up to the 40mm bore for heavier pulls (439.4 N at 0.5 MPa). Since the stroke is under 100mm, rod-bending side loads are minimal, but always avoid external loads on the spring extend stroke.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X40SCA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X40SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X40SCA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X40SCA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL32X40SCA, which matches the 32mm bore, 40mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA mounting. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and switches the -S magnet compatibility from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder where air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. The fail-safe home is extended. Usable pull force is 54.0 N at 0.2 MPa, 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa, and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa (max 40.7 kgf). It requires a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure and uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion or a load lock.
