This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80CA 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 MTAL32X80CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80CA is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 80mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80CA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80CA
The AirTAC MTAL32X80CA is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod for the work stroke, while an internal spring extends it. It delivers a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and parks in the extended position on air loss. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X80CA.
This 32 mm bore unit features a G1/8 port, an M10x1.25 rod end, and a CA back cover that swings on a pin for arcing loads. It uses a fixed rubber bumper and threaded covers, whereas the MTBL upgrade uses a riveted rolling-packed body. This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept a position sensor.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80CA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80CA |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80CA |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 80 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80CA 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 MTAL32X80CA Is Used
Packaging Flap Pull
Retracts a carton sealing arm with 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa, relying on the spring to safely extend the arm clear of the conveyor when air drops.
Lathe Chuck Unload
Draws a workpiece puller back from a turning center; the CA clevis accommodates slight arc misalignment during the 80 mm extraction stroke.
Textile Tension Release
Pulls a fabric tensioning idler back to slacken the web, using the fail-safe extended home to immediately relieve tension on machine e-stop.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80CA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80CA
To replace the MTAL32X80CA, specify the MTBL32X80CA. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot cover, and the 0.2 MPa minimum pressure. The fail-safe home is extended. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke. Since this SKU has no magnet, it cannot take a sensor; the MTBL upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
For sizing, step down to the 25 mm bore for lighter loads (137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa) or step up to the 40 mm bore for heavier pulls (439.4 N at 0.5 MPa). At 80 mm stroke, watch for rod bending under side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80CA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80CA FAQ
Yes, it is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X80CA, matching the 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, CA cover, and force class.
It provides a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The fail-safe home is extended; on air loss, the spring pushes the rod out, which is a rest, not a powered lock.
