This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL32X60CA, 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 MTAL32X60CA
The AirTAC MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60CA is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60CA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60CA
The AirTAC MTAL32X60CA is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 32mm bore and 60mm stroke. Air retracts the rod to do the work, while an internal spring extends it back out. It delivers a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MTBL32X60CA, matching the bore, stroke, CA clevis, and G1/8 port.
This SKU features a CA pivot back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads. Because it lacks the -S suffix, it cannot take a position sensor. 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. End-of-stroke damping relies on a fixed rubber bumper. Apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke to avoid damaging the cylinder.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60CA Technical Specifications

|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60CA |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60CA 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 MTAL32X60CA Is Used
Packaging Flap Pull
Draws back a carton sealing flap using 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The spring-extended fail-safe clears the path when air drops, preventing jams.
Textile Tension Release
Retracts a fabric tensioning guide on weaving looms. The CA pivot cover accommodates the slight arcing motion during the 60mm pull stroke.
Gate Latch Withdrawal
Pulls back a CNC machine safety gate latch. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs the shock at the end of the retraction cycle.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60CA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60CA
To replace this MTAL32X60CA, migrate to the MTBL32X60CA. Confirm the 32mm bore, 60mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, M10x1.25 rod end, and CA pivot cover. If you previously used a magnet, note the sensor family changes from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Maintain the 0.2 MPa minimum working pressure and remember the fail-safe home is EXTENDED. For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60CA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60CA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X60CA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL32X60CA, which matches the 32mm bore, 60mm stroke, CA cover, and G1/8 port. The MTBL upgrades the construction to a riveted rolling-packed body.
It is single-acting pull, delivering 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa, with a minimum working pressure of 0.2 MPa. The fail-safe home is EXTENDED; on air loss, the internal spring pushes the rod back out. It uses a fixed rubber bumper and cannot hold a load mid-stroke without an external device.
