This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL32X60CM, 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 MTAL32X60CM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60CM 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60CM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60CM
The AirTAC MTAL32X60CM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. Air retracts the rod to do the work, while an internal spring extends it back out when air is released. It delivers a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MTBL32X60CM, which matches the bore, stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end back cover.
This MTAL32X60CM SKU lacks the -S magnet option, so it cannot accept a position sensor; the MTBL upgrade would use CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches if sensing is needed. The legacy MTAL uses threaded covers, whereas the MTBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Both share a fixed rubber bumper and a hard-chrome carbon-steel rod. Remember that the fail-safe home position is extended, and you must apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke.

| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60CM 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 MTAL32X60CM Is Used
Packaging Film Tensioning
Draws back a web-tensioning roller on a form-fill-seal machine with 261.2 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, relying on the spring-extend fail-safe to safely release film tension during an air loss.
Textile Loom Latch
Retracts a yarn-threading latch on an industrial knitting machine; the single-acting pull design uses a single 3/2 valve to cleanly withdraw the 12 mm rod and clear the thread path.
CNC Fixture Drawbar
Pulls a small workholding drawbar inside a CNC lathe fixture, using the 32 mm bore to retract the part locator against the internal return spring before machining begins.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60CM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60CM
To replace this MTAL32X60CM with the MTBL32X60CM, confirm the 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and CM round-end back cover. Because this specific SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor; if you need position detection on the MTBL, you must select the -S version and use CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M / DS1-M. Maintain the 0.2 MPa minimum working pressure and ensure no external load is applied to the spring-extend stroke, as the fail-safe home is extended.
For sizing flexibility, if you need less force you can step down to a 25 mm bore, which provides 137.2 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. If you need more power, stepping up to a 40 mm bore yields 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The 60 mm stroke is well under the 100 mm standard maximum, so rod-bending side loads are not a primary concern here.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60CM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60CM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X60CM is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL32X60CM, which matches the 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end back cover. The MTBL upgrades the construction to a riveted rolling-packed body from the original threaded covers, but the force class and mounting remain the same.
The usable pull force is 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa, with a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa. It is a single-acting pull cylinder, meaning air retracts the rod and an internal spring extends it. The fail-safe home position is extended, so on air loss the spring pushes the rod back out. This is a rest state, not a lock, so use an external device if you need to hold a load mid-stroke.
