This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80SU — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80SU 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 MTAL32X80SU
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80SU 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80SU.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80SU
The AirTAC MTAL32X80SU is a discontinued single-acting pull mini cylinder with an 80mm stroke. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, yielding a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X80SU, matching the 32mm bore, stroke, and G1/8 port.
This U-back-cover SKU includes a -S magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M switches; the MTBL successor shifts to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and swaps the threaded covers for a riveted rolling-packed body. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the hard-chrome carbon-steel rod runs in a self-lubricating guide.

| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80SU |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80SU 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 MTAL32X80SU Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Pulls a secondary ejector pin back inside the mold to clear the parting line before the mold closes, using the 261.2 N retract force.
Textile Loom Tension
Draws back a thread guide carriage on a rapier loom, letting the internal spring push it out to maintain safe yarn tension when air drops.
Packaging Flap Hook
Retracts a mechanical catch to release a formed carton flap, relying on the 80mm stroke and fail-safe extended position to park clear.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80SU with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80SU
To replace this MTAL32X80SU, install the MTBL32X80SU and transfer your CS1-M/DS1-M sensors to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family. Confirm the 0.2 MPa minimum pressure and apply NO external load on the spring-extend stroke. The fail-safe home is EXTENDED. If sizing down, the 25mm bore gives 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa; if stepping up, the 40mm bore provides 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80SU (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80SU FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X80SU is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL32X80SU, which matches the 32mm bore, 80mm stroke, U back cover, and G1/8 port. You will need to upgrade your CS1-M/DS1-M sensors to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
The single-acting pull force is 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. It requires a minimum of 0.2 MPa. On air loss, the internal spring pushes the rod to the EXTENDED fail-safe home.
