This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL32X50SCM, 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 MTAL32X50SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50SCM 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50SCM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50SCM
The AirTAC MTAL32X50SCM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod to do the work, while an internal spring extends it when air is released. The fail-safe home is extended. It delivers a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MTBL32X50SCM.
This 32mm bore unit has a 50mm stroke, a G1/8 port, and a 12mm rod with an M10x1.25 end thread. It includes the -S magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M switches; the MTBL upgrade uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MTAL features threaded covers, while the MTBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.

| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50SCM 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 MTAL32X50SCM Is Used
CNC Lathe Door Interlock
Pulls a safety interlock pin clear of a lathe chuck enclosure using 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The spring-extended fail-safe home secures the pin during a pneumatic power loss.
Textile Tensioning Arm
Draws a fabric tensioning idler roller back against web tension. The single-acting pull design uses one 3/2 valve, and the fixed rubber bumper stops the 50mm stroke without bounce.
PCB Test Fixture Clamp
Retracts a hold-down clamp clear of a printed circuit board for robotic unloading. The CS1-M magnet confirms retracted position to the controller before the conveyor cycles.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50SCM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50SCM
To replace the MTAL32X50SCM, use the MTBL32X50SCM. Confirm the 32mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CM round-end back cover, and mounting match your jig. The -S magnet means you must swap older CS1-M or DS1-M switches for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the new riveted body. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa. The fail-safe home is extended, so apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
For sizing, stepping down to the 25mm bore gives 137.2 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. Stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. This 50mm stroke is well under the 100mm standard limit, keeping rod bending stress low.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50SCM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50SCM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X50SCM is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL32X50SCM. It matches the 32mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM mounting. You must swap the old CS1-M or DS1-M sensors for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, as the new body is riveted rather than threaded.
The usable pull force is 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. It is a single-acting pull cylinder, meaning air retracts the rod and a spring extends it. The fail-safe home is extended. It requires a minimum pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring and begin the pull stroke.
