This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100SCM in place of this model. 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 MTAL25X100SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100SCM 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 drop-in replacement is the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100SCM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100SCM
The AirTAC MTAL25X100SCM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 25mm bore and 100mm stroke. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, providing a fail-safe extended home position. It delivers 137.2N of usable pull force at 0.5MPa and requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2MPa. The CM round back cover and PT G1/8 port are standard.
You must replace this unit with the drop-in MTBL25X100SCM. The MTBL retains the 25mm bore, 100mm stroke, 219.6N pull force at 0.7MPa, and CM mounting. Upgrade facts: the MTAL uses threaded covers and a -S magnet compatible with CS1-M/DS1-M switches, whereas the MTBL features a riveted rolling-packed body and uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Both use a fixed rubber bumper and a hard-chrome carbon steel rod.

|---|---|
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100SCM 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 MTAL25X100SCM Is Used
Injection Mold Ejector Reset
Pulls an ejection pin back inside a 25mm bore mold tooling plate. The 137.2N pull at 0.5MPa overcomes mold friction, while the spring-extend fail-safe parks the pin out during air loss.
Packaging Flap Drawbar
Retracts a carton sealing flap tensioner on a packaging line. The 100mm stroke provides full travel, and the fail-safe extended position releases the tension safely if compressed air drops.
PCB Test Socket Release
Draws back a spring-loaded test probe plate in automated PCB testing. The single-acting pull mechanism ensures the probes disengage cleanly when the 3/2 valve exhausts.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100SCM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100SCM
To replace the MTAL25X100SCM, install the MTBL25X100SCM. Confirm the 25mm bore, 100mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and CM round back cover. The MTAL -S magnet works with CS1-M/DS1-M switches, so upgrade your sensors to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family for the MTBL. Maintain a minimum 0.2MPa pressure. The fail-safe home is extended, so apply no external load on the spring extend stroke. At 100mm stroke, prevent rod bending by minimizing side loads.
Size both ways: step down to the 20mm bore for 81.7N pull at 0.5MPa, or step up to the 32mm bore for 261.2N pull at 0.5MPa. The full figure set: 137.2N pull at 0.5MPa, 219.6N pull at 0.7MPa, and 22.4kgf max. Use an external lock for mid-stroke holding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100SCM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100SCM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X100SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X100SCM. It matches the 25mm bore, 100mm stroke, G1/8 port, CM cover, and 219.6N pull force at 0.7MPa. You must upgrade your switches from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG for the MTBL riveted body.
The full figure set: 137.2N pull at 0.5MPa, 219.6N pull at 0.7MPa, and 22.4kgf max. The fail-safe home is extended. Air retracts the rod, and the internal spring extends it. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
