This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL32X60U, 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 MTAL32X60U
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60U 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60U.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60U
The AirTAC MTAL32X60U is a discontinued 32mm bore, 60mm stroke single-acting pull cylinder. Air retracts the rod to deliver 261.2 N of usable pull force at 0.5 MPa, while an internal spring extends it when air is removed. Its fail-safe home position is extended. The direct replacement is the MTBL32X60U, matching the bore, stroke, force, and port.
This MTAL32X60U variant features a U-type flat-end back cover and a PT G1/8 port. It has no magnet, meaning it cannot take a position sensor. The MTAL uses threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, whereas the MTBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. Never apply external load to the spring extend stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60U Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60U |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60U |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60U 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 MTAL32X60U Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Pulls an injection mold ejector pin back 60mm against 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa, using spring-extend to safely clear the mold halves when air drops.
PCB Test Socket Draw-Back
Retracts a PCB test socket contact block with 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa, letting the internal spring extend the probe head when the test cycle ends.
Packaging Lid Tension
Tensions a packaging machine lid on the 60mm pull stroke; the spring-extended fail-safe home ensures the lid opens if the 3/2 valve loses air.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60U with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60U
To replace the MTAL32X60U with the MTBL32X60U, confirm the 32mm bore, 60mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and U back cover. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; the MTBL upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches if you add the -S option. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure and that the fail-safe home is extended.
If sizing up or down, the 25mm bore neighbor provides 137.2 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, while the 40mm bore neighbor provides 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. This 60mm stroke is below the 100mm standard maximum, so rod-bending side loads are less of a concern than on longer strokes.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60U (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X60U instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X60U FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X60U is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL32X60U, matching the 32mm bore, 60mm stroke, force, and G1/8 port. The MTAL uses threaded covers, while the MTBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body.
This single-acting pull cylinder provides 261.2 N of usable pull at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. It requires a minimum of 0.2 MPa. The fail-safe home is extended, meaning the internal spring pushes the rod out on air loss. It has a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
