This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80SCM 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 MTAL32X80SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80SCM 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80SCM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80SCM
The AirTAC MTAL32X80SCM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with an 80mm stroke. Air retracts the Ø12mm rod to do the work, while an internal spring extends it back out when air is released. The fail-safe home position is fully extended. It delivers a usable pull force of 261.2N at 0.5MPa and 399.4N at 0.7MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X80SCM, matching the 32mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end cover.
This S-suffix SKU includes a magnet for position sensing. On the legacy MTAL it uses CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MTBL replacement upgrades to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MTAL features threaded covers and a self-lubricating front-cover guide, whereas the current MTBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Both share a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke cushioning and operate safely from 0.2 to 1.0 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80SCM 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 MTAL32X80SCM Is Used
Thermoforming Film Tension
Pulls and maintains tension on plastic film webs during thermoforming feed cycles, utilizing the 261.2N pull at 0.5MPa to retract the material securely.
Injection Mold Ejection Gate
Draws back an injection mold runner latch pin on an 80mm stroke, relying on the spring-extended fail-safe to clear the mold cavity on air loss.
Packaging Carton Flap Pull
Retracts a mechanical hook to pull corrugated carton flaps closed on a packaging line, where the single-acting design simplifies plumbing to one 3/2 valve.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80SCM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80SCM
To replace your MTAL32X80SCM, install the MTBL32X80SCM. Confirm the 32mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and CM round-end back cover are retained. You must swap your CS1-M or DS1-M sensors for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches on the new body. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure and never apply an external load on the spring-extend stroke, as the fail-safe home is extended.
If sizing a new machine, step down to the 25mm bore for lighter tasks (137.2N pull at 0.5MPa) or step up to the 40mm bore for heavier pulling (439.4N pull at 0.5MPa). At 80mm stroke, keep the rod guided to prevent side-load bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80SCM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80SCM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X80SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X80SCM, matching the 32mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM cover. You must change your position sensors, as the MTAL uses CS1-M or DS1-M switches while the MTBL uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder where air retracts the rod and a spring extends it. The usable pull force is 261.2N at 0.5MPa and 399.4N at 0.7MPa, requiring a 0.2MPa minimum pressure. The fail-safe home position is extended, and it cannot hold a load mid-stroke without an external locking device.
