This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15SCM 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 MTAL25X15SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X15SCM 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15SCM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X15SCM
The AirTAC MTAL25X15SCM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 25mm bore and 15mm stroke. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, yielding a fail-safe extended home position. It delivers a usable pull force of 137.2N at 0.5MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X15SCM, matching the bore, stroke, and G1/8 port.
This SKU includes a -S magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M switches; the MTBL upgrade uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MTAL features threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, whereas the MTBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body. A CM round-end back cover is specified here. Never apply external load to the spring extend stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X15SCM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X15SCM |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15SCM |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15SCM 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 MTAL25X15SCM Is Used
Textile Loom Tension Release
Retracts a yarn tensioner arm against 137.2N pull at 0.5MPa. The spring-extend fail-safe safely releases tension on air loss to prevent thread snap-back.
Electronic Test Socket Clamp
Pulls a test fixture lid closed with 219.6N at 0.7MPa. The 15mm stroke and fixed rubber bumper absorb end-of-stroke shock without damaging PCB substrates.
Packaging Flap Deflector
Draws back a cardboard flap guide on a carton sealer. The CS1-M/DS1-M magnet confirms retraction for the PLC before the sealing head descends.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X15SCM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15SCM
To replace this MTAL25X15SCM with the MTBL25X15SCM, confirm the 25mm bore, 15mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, M10x1.25 rod thread, CM back cover, and magnet. The -S magnet switches from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Maintain a 0.2MPa minimum working pressure. The fail-safe home is extended, and no external load is allowed on the extend stroke. If sizing down, the 20mm bore offers 81.7N pull at 0.5MPa. If sizing up, the 32mm bore provides 261.2N at 0.5MPa.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15SCM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X15SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X15SCM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X15SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X15SCM, matching the 25mm bore, 15mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM mounting. You will only need to update your sensor brackets from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The usable pull force is 137.2N at 0.5MPa and 219.6N at 0.7MPa (max 22.4 kgf). Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa with a 0.2MPa minimum. It is single-acting pull, meaning air retracts the rod and the spring extends it to a fail-safe extended home.
