This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL32X50CM, 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 MTAL32X50CM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50CM 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 direct replacement is the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50CM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50CM
The AirTAC MTAL32X50CM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 32mm bore and 50mm stroke. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, yielding a fail-safe extended home position. It delivers a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The direct replacement is the MTBL32X50CM, matching the bore, stroke, force, and port.
This CM round-end cover variant uses a G1/8 port and a 12mm hard-chrome carbon steel rod with an M10x1.25 thread. The original MTAL features threaded covers and fixed rubber bumpers, whereas the MTBL upgrade uses a riveted rolling-packed body. As this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept a position sensor.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50CM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50CM |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50CM |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50CM 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 MTAL32X50CM Is Used
PCB Router Spindle Brake
Retracts a mechanical brake caliper on a PCB depaneling router. The 261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa releases the cutter spindle, and the spring-extend fail-safe locks the brake during an air loss shutdown.
CNC Lathe Steady Rest
Pulls back a spring-loaded steady rest roller on a bar feeder. The 399.4 N pull at 0.7 MPa clears the workpath, while the fail-safe extended roller supports long stock if compressed air drops.
Stamping Press Scrap Chute
Draws back a mini diverter gate on a metal stamping scrap chute. The 12mm rod handles the pull force, and the CM round-end cover fits tight machine frames without protruding into walkways.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50CM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50CM
To replace the MTAL32X50CM, specify the MTBL32X50CM to retain the 32mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end cover. The MTBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, but since this MTAL has no -S magnet, it cannot take a switch. Maintain the 0.2 MPa minimum working pressure and apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke. On air loss, the spring forces the rod out.
For sizing flexibility, step down to the 25mm bore (137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa) for lighter tasks, or step up to the 40mm bore (439.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa) for heavier loads. The 50mm stroke is standard and safe from rod-bending side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50CM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50CM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X50CM is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL32X50CM, matching the 32mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM cover. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design while retaining the same force class.
This single-acting pull cylinder provides a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. It operates between 0.2 and 1.0 MPa (minimum 0.2 MPa), runs at 50-800 mm/s, and uses fixed rubber bumpers. The maximum standard stroke is 100 mm.
