This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL32X50SU, 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 MTAL32X50SU
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50SU 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50SU.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50SU
The AirTAC MTAL32X50SU 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 direct replacement is the MTBL32X50SU, matching the bore, stroke, and G1/8 port.
This SKU includes a U flat-end back cover and a -S magnet. The MTAL uses threaded covers and CS1-M / DS1-M switches, whereas the MTBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. It has a fixed rubber bumper, requires a 3/2 valve, and its fail-safe home is extended.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50SU Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50SU |

| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50SU 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 MTAL32X50SU Is Used
Injection Mold Ejector
Pulls an injection mold ejector pin back 50mm against 261.2 N of force at 0.5 MPa, ensuring the spring-extended fail-safe home keeps the mold cavity clear during air loss.
Textile Tension Draw-Bar
Retracts a textile web draw-bar to maintain fabric tension, with the U flat-end cover providing rigid rear mounting for the 399.4 N pull available at 0.7 MPa.
Packaging Flap Latch
Closes a cardboard packaging flap latch using the single-acting pull stroke, safely parking the rod extended via the internal spring if the 3/2 valve loses pressure.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50SU with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50SU
Replace the MTAL32X50SU with the MTBL32X50SU, confirming the 32mm bore, 50mm stroke, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, U back cover, and -S magnet. Remember that the MTBL sensor family changes from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. Operating pressure must be at least 0.2 MPa, and you must apply no external load on the spring extend stroke. On air loss, the fail-safe home is extended.
To size up or down: stepping down to the 25mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa pull force to 137.2 N, while stepping up to the 40mm bore increases it to 439.4 N. The 50mm stroke is well within the 100mm maximum, so no rod-bending concerns apply.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50SU (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X50SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X50SU FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X50SU is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL32X50SU, which matches the 32mm bore, 50mm stroke, U back cover, and G1/8 port. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and changes the -S magnet switches from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
The single-acting pull force is 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa (max 40.7 kgf). It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa, runs at 50-800 mm/s, and uses a fixed rubber bumper. It is a pull cylinder where air retracts and the spring extends, so the fail-safe home is extended.
