This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60SU — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60SU 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 MTAL32X60SU
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60SU 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 drop-in replacement is the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60SU.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60SU
The AirTAC MTAL32X60SU is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, meaning the fail-safe home position is fully extended. It delivers a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X60SU, matching the 32mm bore, 60mm stroke, and U back cover.
This SKU includes a magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M switches; the MTBL replacement upgrades to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. MTAL uses threaded covers, whereas the MTBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the 12mm carbon-steel rod has a 20 um hard chrome plating for wear resistance.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60SU Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60SU |

| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60SU |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60SU 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 MTAL32X60SU Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Pulls a mold ejector pin back against 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa, relying on the spring-extended fail-safe to park the pin safely out during air loss.
PCB Test Socket Lock
Retracts a test fixture latch using 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa, ensuring the socket opens automatically if the pneumatic supply drops.
Door Drawbolt Mechanism
Draws a heavy equipment door shut via the 12mm rod, using the U flat-end cover for rigid rear mounting and the fixed bumper for shock absorption.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60SU with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60SU
To replace this MTAL32X60SU, select the MTBL32X60SU and verify the 32mm bore, 60mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and U flat-end back cover. Remember the minimum operating pressure is 0.2 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 25mm bore offering 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need more power, step up to the 40mm bore providing 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. Never apply an external load on the spring extend stroke. At 60mm, maintain proper alignment to prevent rod-bending side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60SU (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60SU FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X60SU is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X60SU, which matches the 32mm bore, 60mm stroke, and U back cover. You will need to update your sensors, as the MTAL -S magnet used CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MTBL uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder where air retracts and spring extends, with a fail-safe home that is fully extended. The usable pull force is 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa, and the minimum is 0.2 MPa.
