Airtac MTBL Single Acting Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MTBL32X10CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTBL Single Acting Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MTBL32X10CA is a genuine single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Air drives the pull (work) stroke and the spring returns the rod — it rests extended on air loss.

About the Airtac MTBL Single Acting Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MTBL32X10CA
The AirTAC MTBL32X10CA is a compact single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 10 mm stroke. Air retracts the rod to develop 224.8 N of usable pull force at 0.5 MPa, while an internal spring extends it back out. This fail-safe extended home is ideal for mechanisms that must rest open during a pneumatic pressure drop. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light for tight spaces, and the 12 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 um hard-chrome plating for wear resistance.
This SKU features a CA pivot clevis back cover, allowing the body to swing on a pin to absorb angular, arcing loads. It uses a standard PT thread form and a G1/8 port. Because this model lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot accept an AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, as single-acting designs omit adjustable air cushions.

| 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. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Usable Pull Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (net of spring) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 224.8 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 363.0 N |
These are the usable single-acting forces after the return spring — lower than a same-bore double-acting MBL. Size with a margin.

Where the Airtac MTBL Single Acting Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MTBL32X10CA Is Used
Packaging Flap Tensioning
Pulls a cardboard carton flap closed on a rotary packaging line using its 224.8 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, letting the spring safely push the mechanism open during an air-loss stop.
Textile Take-up Lever
Draws a fabric tensioning lever backward into its rest position; the CA pivot clevis accommodates the lever's arcing swing path without binding.
Circuit Breaker Seating
Retracts a draw-rod to seat electrical contacts inside a switchgear assembly, relying on the fail-safe extended home to keep contacts visibly open during maintenance.
Is the Airtac MTBL Single Acting Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MTBL32X10CA the Right Cylinder?
To size this 32 mm bore correctly, note that stepping down to the 25 mm bore drops your usable pull force to 132.6 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore increases it to 339.1 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose the MTBL32X10CA when your mechanism specifically requires a pull stroke and a fail-safe extended rest position, which is the opposite of the MSBL push type that fails safe retracted. A double-acting MBL is better if you need powered force in both directions.
Remember that the return spring opposes the air stroke, so a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa is required to overcome it. Apply no external load during the spring-extend return stroke to avoid damaging the cylinder. For replacements, match the 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, and confirm no magnet is present. The short 10 mm stroke keeps the overall length highly compact, minimizing rod bending concerns even under lateral stress.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Usable pull force at your pressure (min 0.2 MPa)
- ✓ Fail-safe rest position (extended)
- ✓ No external load on the spring return stroke
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
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 Use the correct mounting accessory (LB / FA / SDB) and back cover (CA / U).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MTBL Single Acting Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MTBL32X10CA FAQ
The usable pull force is 17.6 N at 0.2 MPa, 86.6 N at 0.3 MPa, 155.7 N at 0.4 MPa, 224.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 293.9 N at 0.6 MPa, and 363 N at 0.7 MPa. It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the internal return spring, with an operating range of 0.2-1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet code, so it cannot accept CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors. The CA back cover is a pivot clevis designed to swing on a mounting pin, which accommodates arcing and angular loads without side-loading the rod bearing.
