This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X70CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X70CA 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 MTAL32X70CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X70CA is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 70mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X70CA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X70CA
The AirTAC MTAL32X70CA is a discontinued 32mm bore, 70mm stroke single-acting pull cylinder with a spring-extend fail-safe home. Air retracts the rod for the work stroke, while the internal spring pushes it back out when air is released. It delivers a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X70CA, matching the bore, stroke, 261.2 N pull force, G1/8 port, and CA mounting.
This MTAL32X70CA SKU features a CA back cover that acts as a pivot clevis, swinging on a pin to absorb arcing loads. It uses threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, lacking adjustable cushioning. Because this specific SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot take a position sensor. The MTBL32X70CA upgrade shifts to a riveted rolling-packed body and offers CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors if needed. Apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke to avoid damaging the cylinder.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X70CA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X70CA |

| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X70CA |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 70 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X70CA 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 MTAL32X70CA Is Used
Packaging Flap Folder
Pulls a carton flap down on a rotary packaging line. The 261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa overcomes carton stiffness, while the spring-extend fail-safe releases the flap if air drops.
Textile Tension Draw
Draws back a fabric guide arm on a loom. The CA pivot clevis swings to absorb lateral arc stress, and the 399.4 N pull at 0.7 MPa handles high thread tension.
Stamping Ejector
Retracts a small parts ejector pin inside a stamping die. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs the 70mm stroke impact without needing adjustable cushioning.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X70CA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X70CA
To replace the MTAL32X70CA, install the MTBL32X70CA. Confirm the 32mm bore, 70mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot cover, and 0.2 MPa minimum working pressure. The fail-safe home remains extended, so apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke. Since this MTAL SKU lacks a -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; the MTBL upgrade supports CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches if tracking is required.
For sizing, stepping down to the 25mm bore gives a 137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40mm bore yields 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The 70mm stroke is under the 100mm standard limit, so rod-bending side loads are less critical, but proper pin alignment via the CA clevis remains essential.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X70CA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X70CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X70CA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X70CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X70CA, matching the 32mm bore, 70mm stroke, CA pivot mounting, G1/8 port, and 261.2 N pull force. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder where air retracts and spring extends. The fail-safe home is extended. Usable pull force is 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa. It has no -S magnet, so it cannot take a sensor.
