This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL25X100CA, 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 MTAL25X100CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100CA is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 100mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100CA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100CA
The AirTAC MTAL25X100CA is a discontinued single-acting pull mini cylinder with a 25mm bore and 100mm stroke. Air retracts the rod, while an internal spring extends it. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X100CA, matching the bore, stroke, G1/8 port, and CA clevis. This SKU provides a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa (219.6 N at 0.7 MPa).
Because this is a non-magnet SKU, it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MTAL uses threaded covers and CS1-M/DS1-M switches, while the MTBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the fail-safe home is extended, requiring no external load on the spring stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100CA Technical Specifications

| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 100 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100CA carries the same single-acting ratings.
Usable Pull Force (Ø25mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (net of spring) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 137.2 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 219.6 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 MTAL25X100CA Is Used
Packaging Film Tensioning
Pulls a web-tensioning idler on a vertical form-fill-seal machine. The 137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa holds the film taut, and the spring-extend fail-safe safely releases tension on air loss.
Lathe Chuck Drawbar
Retracts a small collet drawbar on a bench-top CNC lathe. The 100mm stroke provides full collet clearance, while the CA clevis accommodates the pivot arc during actuation.
Gate Latch Withdrawal
Withdraws a spring-loaded safety gate latch on a textile loom. Air retracts the pin to release the gate, and the internal spring pushes it back out to lock when air is removed.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100CA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100CA
To replace the MTAL25X100CA, specify the MTBL25X100CA. Confirm the 25mm bore, 100mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and CA pivot back cover. The MTBL matches this exactly but uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers. As a non-magnet SKU, this cylinder cannot take a sensor; if you need position detection, step up to an -S magnet variant using CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Operating pressure must be at least 0.2 MPa.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 81.7 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32mm bore provides 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. Because this uses a 100mm stroke, ensure the side-load does not cause rod bending over the extended length. Remember the fail-safe home is extended, so apply no external load on the spring return stroke.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100CA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100CA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X100CA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X100CA, which matches the 25mm bore, 100mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA clevis. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors if you specify the -S magnet option.
This single-acting pull cylinder delivers a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa (maximum). It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa. The fail-safe home is extended, meaning the internal spring pushes the rod out on air loss. A fixed rubber bumper handles end-of-stroke impact.
