This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL32X90CA, 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 MTAL32X90CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X90CA is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 90mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X90CA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X90CA
The AirTAC MTAL32X90CA is a discontinued 32mm mini pneumatic cylinder. As a single-acting pull type, air retracts the 12mm rod while an internal spring extends it, yielding a fail-safe extended home position. It 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 MTBL32X90CA, matching the 90mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA clevis.
This SKU features a CA back cover that swings on a pin for arcing loads, and a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping. Because it lacks the -S option, this specific cylinder cannot accept a position sensor. When upgrading to the MTBL32X90CA, note the construction shifts from threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body, and sensor compatibility changes from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X90CA Technical Specifications

| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X90CA |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 90 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X90CA 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 MTAL32X90CA Is Used
Packaging Flap Folder
Pulls a mechanical flap-folder arm on a carton erecting machine. The 261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa overcomes hinge friction, while the spring-extend fail-safe parks the arm clear for carton loading.
Lathe Chuck Tensioner
Draws back a secondary collet tensioning pin on a CNC lathe. The CA clevis accommodates the slight arc of the pivot mechanism, and the fixed bumper absorbs the 90mm pull stop.
Welding Hood Latch
Retracts a safety hood latch on an automated spot welding cell. On air loss, the spring-extend fail-safe pushes the latch out to secure the hood, meeting safety interlock requirements.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL32X90CA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X90CA
To replace this MTAL32X90CA, select the MTBL32X90CA. Confirm the 32mm bore, 90mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and CA pivot back cover are retained. The MTBL keeps the single-acting pull, spring-extend function and 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure. Remember the fail-safe home is extended, and apply no external load on the spring extend stroke. At 90mm stroke (approaching the 100mm max), watch for rod-bending side loads.
For sizing flexibility, step down to the 25mm bore for a smaller footprint (yielding 137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa), or step up to the 40mm bore for higher force (439.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, requiring a G1/4 port).
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X90CA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL32X90CA instead of this discontinued model.
