This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL25X100SCA, 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 MTAL25X100SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100SCA 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100SCA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100SCA
The AirTAC MTAL25X100SCA is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, ensuring a fail-safe extended home position on air loss. It delivers a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and requires a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X100SCA, matching the 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, and G1/8 port.
This SKU includes a magnet (-S) for position sensing with CS1-M or DS1-M switches, whereas the MTBL replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The MTAL features threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, while the MTBL upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body. The CA back cover provides a pivot clevis for arcing loads. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100SCA 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100SCA 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 MTAL25X100SCA Is Used
Textile Loom Tensioning
Pulls a yarn guide carriage back against a stop. The 137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa holds the guide steady, and the spring-extended fail-safe retracts the guide out of the weaving path on air loss.
Packaging Flap Folder
Draws a mechanical flap-folder arm on a carton sealer. The CA pivot clevis accommodates the arcing motion, while the 100 mm stroke provides full travel for large corrugated boxes.
PCB Router Gate Pull
Retracts a safety gate on a circuit board routing machine. The magnet works with CS1-M switches to confirm gate closure before routing, and the spring extends the gate open during e-stop.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100SCA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100SCA
To replace the MTAL25X100SCA, specify the MTBL25X100SCA to match the 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, CA pivot back cover, and magnet. Remember the sensor family changes from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Maintain the 0.2 MPa minimum pressure and never apply external load on the spring extend stroke. The fail-safe home remains extended.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 20 mm bore yields 81.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32 mm bore provides 261.2 N. At the 100 mm maximum standard stroke, be cautious of side loads causing rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100SCA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100SCA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X100SCA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X100SCA, matching the 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, CA back cover, and G1/8 port. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the CS1-M/DS1-M switches.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder where air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. The fail-safe home is extended. Usable pull force is 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa, requiring a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure. It has a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion or a load lock.
