This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15CM 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 MTAL25X15CM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X15CM is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 15mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15CM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X15CM
The AirTAC MTAL25X15CM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod, and an internal spring extends it, giving a fail-safe EXTENDED home on air loss. This 25mm bore provides a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X15CM.
This MTAL25X15CM variant features a CM round-end back cover and PT port thread. It has no magnet (-S), so it cannot take a position sensor. The MTAL uses threaded covers and CS1-M/DS1-M switches, while the MTBL upgrade uses a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs impact.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X15CM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X15CM |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15CM |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 15 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15CM 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 MTAL25X15CM Is Used
Packaging Flap Deflector
Pulls a cardboard deflector gate out of the carton path with 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa; the spring extends it back to block the lane if air drops.
PCB Router Pin Retract
Draws back a 10mm locating pin on a PCB routing fixture; the spring-extend fail-safe parks the pin OUT to prevent board crashes.
Stamping Press Ejector
Pulls a small stamping ejector block clear of a die; the spring pushes it back in to hold the part if air pressure is lost.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X15CM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15CM
Replace the MTAL25X15CM with the MTBL25X15CM. Confirm the 25mm bore, 15mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, CM cover, and PT thread. The MTBL matches force and mounting. Because this is a no-magnet SKU, it cannot take a sensor; the MTBL upgrade supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
Size both ways: step down to the 20mm bore for 81.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or up to the 32mm bore for 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The fail-safe home is EXTENDED.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15CM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X15CM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X15CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X15CM, matching the 25mm bore, 15mm stroke, CM cover, and G1/8 port. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the MTAL's threaded covers and CS1-M/DS1-M switches.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder (air retracts, spring extends) with a fail-safe EXTENDED home. Usable pull force is 13.5 N at 0.2 MPa, 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa, and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa. It has a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion. Do not apply external load on the extend stroke.
