This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL25X10SU, 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 MTAL25X10SU
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X10SU 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SU.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X10SU
The AirTAC MTAL25X10SU is a discontinued single-acting pull cylinder with a spring-extend fail-safe. Air retracts the 10mm stroke, yielding a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X10SU, matching the 25mm bore, G1/8 port, and U back cover.
This MTAL25X10SU features a -S magnet for older CS1-M / DS1-M switches, while the MTBL upgrade uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The MTAL has threaded covers, whereas the MTBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and an internal spring drives the fail-safe extended home position when air is released.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X10SU Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X10SU |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SU |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SU 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 MTAL25X10SU Is Used
Textile Loom Tension Gate
Pulls a yarn tensioning gate closed against a stop with 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The spring-extend fail-safe opens the gate automatically on air loss to clear the web.
CNC Lathe Chuck Interlock
Retracts a safety interlock pin from the lathe chuck during automated part loading. The short 10mm stroke and fixed rubber bumper ensure precise, repeatable positioning.
PCB Depanelizer Blade Draw
Draws a cutting blade back out of the cut path on a PCB depanelizer. The single-acting pull mechanism requires only one 3/2 valve to manage the retraction cycle.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X10SU with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SU
To replace the MTAL25X10SU, specify the MTBL25X10SU to retain the 25mm bore, 10mm stroke, M10x1.25 rod thread, U flat-end back cover, and -S magnet (noting the switch upgrade to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG). Operating pressure must be at least 0.2 MPa. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke to avoid jamming, and expect the rod to park extended on air loss.
If sizing pull force, the neighbouring 20mm bore provides 81.7 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 32mm bore provides 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The 10mm stroke is short, so side-load and rod-bending risks are minimal, but ensure rigid mounting to prevent binding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SU (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X10SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X10SU FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X10SU is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X10SU, matching the 25mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U back cover. You must upgrade your switches from CS1-M / DS1-M 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 (max 22.4 kgf). The fail-safe home is extended, meaning the internal spring pushes the rod out when air is lost. Minimum operating pressure is 0.2 MPa.
