This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL25X10CM, 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 MTAL25X10CM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X10CM is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 10mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10CM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X10CM
The AirTAC MTAL25X10CM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 10 mm stroke. Air retracts the rod to do the work, while an internal spring extends it back out when air is released, creating a fail-safe extended home position. It delivers a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X10CM, matching the bore, stroke, G1/8 port, and CM mounting.
This CM-coded SKU features a round-end back cover and uses a PT tapered port thread. Because it lacks the -S suffix, this specific model cannot accept a position sensor. Two upgrade details define the MTBL successor: the older threaded covers are replaced by a riveted rolling-packed body, and if you ever need sensing on the new line, the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M switches are superseded by CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X10CM Technical Specifications

| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 10 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10CM 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 MTAL25X10CM Is Used
Electronic Connector Extraction
Pulls delicate electronic connectors from test sockets with 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa, using the short 10 mm stroke and spring-extended fail-safe to prevent hanging.
PCB Clamp Release
Retracts a clamping pin on a circuit board routing fixture; the spring-extend ensures the clamp opens automatically if compressed air is lost.
Small Part Draw-Back
Draws back a tiny gate diverter on a pharmaceutical pill sorter, relying on the 10 mm stroke and fixed rubber bumper for crisp, short movements.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X10CM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10CM
To replace this MTAL25X10CM with the MTBL25X10CM, confirm the 25 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and CM round-end back cover. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure and apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke, as the fail-safe home is fully extended. If sizing alternatives, stepping down to a 20 mm bore yields 81.7 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 32 mm bore provides 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The 10 mm stroke is very short, so verify rod-end alignment to prevent side-load bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10CM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X10CM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X10CM is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X10CM, which matches the 25 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end cover. The new MTBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder, so air retracts the rod and a spring extends it. The 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. On air loss, the spring pushes the rod to the extended fail-safe home position.
