This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50SCA 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 MTAL32X50SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50SCA 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50SCA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50SCA
The AirTAC MTAL32X50SCA is a discontinued 32mm bore, 50mm stroke, single-acting pull cylinder. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, yielding a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X50SCA, matching the bore, stroke, and CA pivot mount.
This -S variant includes a magnet for position sensing via CS1-M or DS1-M switches. The MTBL upgrade shifts to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors and replaces the original threaded covers with a riveted rolling-packed body. The CA back cover provides a pivot clevis for arcing loads, and the fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50SCA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50SCA |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50SCA |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50SCA 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 MTAL32X50SCA Is Used
CNC Lathe Door Latch
Retracts a sliding safety door against 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa; the spring-extend fail-safe automatically opens the guard on air loss.
PCB Router Clamp Arm
Pulls a tension clamp down on a printed circuit board fixture, using the CA pivot to absorb slight misalignment during routing.
Textile Beam Draw-back
Withdraws a indexing pin from a loom beam using 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa, letting the internal spring push the pin out during jam clearing.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50SCA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50SCA
To replace the MTAL32X50SCA, select the MTBL32X50SCA. Confirm the 32mm bore, 50mm stroke, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and CA pivot mount. Swap your CS1-M or DS1-M sensors for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Maintain a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure, and apply no external load on the spring extend stroke. The fail-safe home is extended.
For sizing, step down to the 25mm bore if you need less force (137.2 N at 0.5 MPa), or step up to the 40mm bore for heavier pulls (439.4 N at 0.5 MPa). At 50mm stroke, rod bending is low, but ensure the CA clevis pin is aligned to prevent side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50SCA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50SCA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X50SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X50SCA, which matches the 32mm bore, 50mm stroke, CA mount, and G1/8 port. You must upgrade your position sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
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. For reference, the push force is 412.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 580.1 N at 0.7 MPa, with a max force of 40.7 kgf.
