This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SCA 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 MTAL25X10SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X10SCA 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 drop-in replacement is the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SCA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X10SCA
The AirTAC MTAL25X10SCA is a discontinued single-acting pull-type 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. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X10SCA, matching the 25mm bore, 10mm stroke, and G1/8 port.
This SKU features a 10mm stroke, a Ø10mm rod with an M10x1.25 thread, and a CA back cover for pin-mount arcing loads. The -S magnet pairs with CS1-M/DS1-M switches, while the MTBL replacement upgrades to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a riveted rolling-packed body. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact.

| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SCA |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SCA 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 MTAL25X10SCA Is Used
Packaging Flap Folder
Retracts a folding arm to tuck carton flaps on a packaging line, using the 137.2 N pull force at 0.5 MPa before springing back out.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Draws back a thread guide arm on weaving looms; the CA pivot cover accommodates the slight arcing motion of the tensioning mechanism.
PCB Depaneling Gate
Pulls a diverter gate shut on a PCB routing conveyor to isolate boards, relying on the spring-extended fail-safe to open the gate during power loss.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X10SCA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SCA
To replace this MTAL25X10SCA, specify the MTBL25X10SCA to retain the 25mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, CA back cover, and -S magnet. Note the sensor family changes from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Maintain a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure and apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke. Stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 81.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32mm bore provides 261.2 N.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SCA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X10SCA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X10SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X10SCA, which matches the 25mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA mounting. You will only need to update your sensors from the old CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the new CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder where air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. The fail-safe home position is fully extended. It provides a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa, requiring a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa.
