This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL25X15SCA, 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 MTAL25X15SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X15SCA 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 direct replacement is the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15SCA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X15SCA
The AirTAC MTAL25X15SCA is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the 10mm rod for a 15mm work stroke, while an internal spring extends it. It delivers a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X15SCA, matching the 25mm bore, 15mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA clevis.
This SKU features a magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches. The MTBL upgrade switches to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock. The fail-safe home is extended, requiring no external load on the spring stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X15SCA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X15SCA |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15SCA |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15SCA 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 MTAL25X15SCA Is Used
Packaging Flap Retractor
Pulls a cardboard flap guide out of the carton path on a rotary case packer. The 137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa handles the light tension, and the spring-extend fail-safe parks the guide clear of the conveyor when air drops.
Textile Loom Tension Gate
Draws back a yarn tensioning wire on a weaving loom. The 15mm stroke provides precise thread slack control, while the CA clevis accommodates the pivot arc during high-speed loom cycling.
Electronic Tester Probe Lift
Retracts a bed-of-nails test probe away from populated PCB assemblies. The 25mm bore provides reliable 137.2 N retraction force against probe springs, and the CS1-M magnet confirms probe clearance.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X15SCA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15SCA
To replace this MTAL25X15SCA, specify the MTBL25X15SCA. Confirm the 25mm bore, 15mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, M10x1.25 rod thread, CA pivot back cover, and the -S magnet. Remember 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. The fail-safe home is extended.
If you need to size differently, step down to the 20mm bore for 81.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the 32mm bore for 261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The 15mm stroke is well under the 100mm standard maximum, so rod-bending side loads are minimal.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15SCA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X15SCA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X15SCA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X15SCA, matching the 25mm bore, 15mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA clevis. You must swap the CS1-M/DS1-M sensors for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on the new riveted body.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder, so air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. The usable pull force is 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa. The fail-safe home is extended, and it requires a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure.
