This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL25X10SCM, 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 MTAL25X10SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X10SCM 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SCM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X10SCM
The AirTAC MTAL25X10SCM is a discontinued single-acting pull cylinder with a spring-extend fail-safe. Air retracts the 10mm stroke, while the internal spring extends it. It delivers a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X10SCM, matching the 25mm bore, port, and force class.
This SKU features a CM round-end back cover, a PT G1/8 port, and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches, whereas the MTBL upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The MTAL uses threaded covers, while the MTBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Both use a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping.

| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SCM |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SCM 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 MTAL25X10SCM Is Used
Packaging Flap Pull
Retracts a cardboard carton sealing flap on a packaging line. The 137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa handles the tension, while the spring-extend fail-safe parks the flap open during an air loss shutdown.
PCB Router Gate
Pulls a safety guard closed over a PCB depaneling router. The short 10mm stroke and CS1-M/DS1-M magnet confirmation ensure the gate is locked before the cutting spindle starts.
Lathe Chuck Latch
Draws back a cam latch securing an automated lathe chuck. The M10x1.25 rod provides a secure pull, and the CM round-end cover fits the tight machine envelope.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X10SCM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SCM
To replace this MTAL25X10SCM, select the MTBL25X10SCM. Confirm the 25mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, CM back cover, and mounting. Note the sensor family change 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. The fail-safe home is extended.
If sizing up or down, the 20mm bore neighbor yields 81.7 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 32mm bore neighbor yields 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. This 10mm stroke is well within the 100mm standard limit, so no rod-bending side-load concerns apply.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SCM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X10SCM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X10SCM is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X10SCM. It matches the 25mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM mounting. You only need to upgrade your switches from the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
This single-acting pull cylinder provides a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa. It operates on 0.2 to 1.0 MPa air pressure with a fixed rubber bumper. The spring extends the rod automatically when air is released.
