This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80CM 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 MTAL32X80CM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80CM 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80CM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80CM
The AirTAC MTAL32X80CM mini cylinder is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X80CM. This 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke unit is a single-acting pull type: air retracts the rod, and an internal spring extends it. The fail-safe home is extended. It delivers a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa.
This SKU features a CM round-end back cover and a PT G1/8 port. It has no -S magnet and cannot take a position sensor. The MTAL uses threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper. The MTBL32X80CM upgrade retains the force and size but uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Never apply external load on the spring extend stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80CM Technical Specifications

| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80CM |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80CM 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 MTAL32X80CM Is Used
Injection Mold Ejector
Pulls an internal mold latch back against 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa, using the spring-extended fail-safe to safely park the mechanism out during air loss.
Textile Tension Draw
Retracts a fabric tensioning guide on a 80 mm stroke, relying on the spring to push the rod out and maintain slack when the 3/2 valve shuts off.
Packaging Flap Pull
Draws back a carton sealing flap using the 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa pull force, letting the internal spring extend the rod to clear the packaging path.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80CM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80CM
To replace an MTAL32X80CM, order the MTBL32X80CM. Confirm the 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, CM cover, and PT thread form. Because this MTAL lacks a -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; if you need sensing, the MTBL upgrade requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure and the fixed rubber bumper.
For sizing, step down to the 25 mm bore for 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the 40 mm bore for 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The fail-safe home is extended. Since the 80 mm stroke is close to the 100 mm maximum, watch for rod bending under side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80CM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80CM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X80CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X80CM, which matches the 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, CM cover, and G1/8 port. The MTBL upgrade changes the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors if needed.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder where air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. 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 pressure is 0.2 MPa. This no-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor.
