This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50CA 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 MTAL32X50CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50CA is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50CA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50CA
The AirTAC MTAL32X50CA is a discontinued single-acting pull cylinder with a 32mm bore and 50mm stroke. Air retracts the rod, while an internal spring extends it. It delivers a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X50CA, matching the bore, stroke, force, and CA mounting.
This SKU features a CA pivot/clevis back cover that swings on a pin to absorb arcing loads. It uses a G1/8 port, a 12mm carbon-steel rod with a 20 um hard chrome plating, and a fixed rubber bumper. Because this specific model lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. Upgrading to the MTBL moves you to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50CA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50CA |

| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50CA |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 50 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50CA 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 MTAL32X50CA Is Used
Packaging Flap Pull-down
Retracts a carton sealing arm with 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The CA clevis accommodates the arc, while the spring-extend fail-safe parks the arm safely out of the lane.
Textile Tension Release
Draws back a fabric guide on a weaving loom. Air retracts the 12mm rod to slacken the web, and the spring extends it to reset the tensioner when air drops.
Stamping Blank Extraction
Pulls a small metal blank out of a die. The 50mm stroke clears the press bed, and the fixed rubber bumper stops the pull without rebounding the part.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50CA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50CA
To replace this MTAL32X50CA with the MTBL32X50CA, confirm the 32mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and CA clevis mount. The MTBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers. Maintain the 0.2 MPa minimum working pressure. The fail-safe home is extended, so apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
If sizing up or down, the 25mm bore provides 137.2 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, while the 40mm bore provides 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. This 32mm bore gives 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50CA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50CA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X50CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X50CA, which matches the 32mm bore, 50mm stroke, CA clevis mount, and force class. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder with a spring-extend fail-safe home. 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. It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept CS1-M or DS1-M sensors.
