This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL32X80U, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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 MTAL32X80U
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80U 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 direct replacement is the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80U.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80U
The AirTAC MTAL32X80U is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 32mm bore and 80mm stroke. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, yielding a fail-safe extended home position. This configuration delivers a usable pull force of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The direct replacement is the MTBL32X80U, which matches the bore, stroke, force, and G1/8 port.
This MTAL32X80U features a U flat-end back cover and a 12mm hard-chrome carbon steel rod. It lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor. The original threaded covers and CS1-M/DS1-M sensor compatibility are upgraded in the MTBL to a riveted rolling-packed body with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Impact absorption relies on a fixed rubber bumper, and the design requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80U 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 MTAL32X80U Is Used
Injection Mold Ejector Withdrawal
Pulls an internal mold latch clear of the parting line with 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa, using the spring-extend fail-safe to guarantee the latch parks clear on air loss.
PCB Stencil Screen Tensioning
Draws the printer frame tension arm back against the small return spring force, providing a rigid 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa pull stroke for precise mesh alignment.
Packaging Flap Deflection
Retracts a mechanical carton flap guide out of the product path during transit, letting the internal spring push the guide forward as a physical stop when air is removed.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80U with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80U
To replace the MTAL32X80U, order the direct replacement MTBL32X80U. Confirm the 32mm bore, 80mm stroke, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and U flat-end back cover. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor; if position detection is needed, switch to an MTBL32X80US and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Maintain a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure and apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke.
For sizing, step down to the 25mm bore (137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa) if the load is lighter, or step up to the 40mm bore (439.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, G1/4 port) for heavier pulling. At this 80mm stroke, minimize side loads to prevent rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80U (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X80U instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X80U FAQ
Yes, the MTAL32X80U is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL32X80U, which matches the 32mm bore, 80mm stroke, force class, and G1/8 port.
The usable pull force is 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 399.4 N at 0.7 MPa. It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa. As a single-acting pull cylinder, air retracts the rod and the internal spring extends it to the fail-safe extended home position.
