This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL25X100SU, 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 MTAL25X100SU
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100SU 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100SU.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100SU
The AirTAC MTAL25X100SU is a discontinued single-acting pull, spring-extend mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, yielding a fail-safe extended home position. It delivers a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa.
The direct replacement is the MTBL25X100SU, matching the 25mm bore, 100mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U back cover. Upgrading swaps the threaded covers for a riveted rolling-packed body. Your -S magnet transitions from CS1-M/DS1-M switches to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100SU Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100SU |

| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100SU 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 MTAL25X100SU Is Used
Injection Mold Ejector Drawback
Pulls a secondary ejector pin back inside an injection mold cavity against 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa, using the spring-extend fail-safe to safely park the pin out of the mold path on air loss.
Textile Loom Tension Gate
Retracts a thread tensioning gate on a textile loom using the 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa pull force, allowing the internal spring to snap the gate open and release the yarn if the pneumatic supply drops.
CNC Lathe Chuck Latch
Draws back a safety latch on a CNC lathe pneumatic chuck. The single-acting pull design ensures the latch disengages outward to a safe extended rest whenever the 3/2 valve is de-energized.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100SU with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100SU
Replace this MTAL25X100SU with the MTBL25X100SU. Confirm the 25mm bore, 100mm stroke, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, U flat-end back cover, and -S magnet. Remember the sensor family changes from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Maintain 0.2 MPa minimum pressure and apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke, as the fail-safe home is extended. At the 100mm maximum standard stroke, watch for rod-bending under side loads. If you need less force, step down to the 20mm bore (81.7 N @0.5 MPa); if you need more, step up to the 32mm bore (261.2 N @0.5 MPa).
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100SU (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X100SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X100SU FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X100SU is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X100SU, matching the 25mm bore, 100mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U back cover. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and shifts the -S magnet compatibility from CS1-M/DS1-M switches to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
The usable pull force is 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa. It is a single-acting pull cylinder where air retracts the rod and the internal spring extends it. The fail-safe home position is extended, requiring a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure to function.
