This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL25X25CA, 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 MTAL25X25CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25CA is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 25mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25CA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25CA
The AirTAC MTAL25X25CA is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 25mm bore and 25mm 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 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X25CA, matching the bore, stroke, G1/8 port, and CA clevis mount.
This MTAL25X25CA features a CA pivot back cover that swings on a pin for arcing loads. It uses threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot take a position sensor. The MTBL upgrade uses a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25CA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25CA |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25CA |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 25 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25CA 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 MTAL25X25CA Is Used
Packaging Flap Pull
Retracts a 25mm stroke latch to pull cardboard carton flaps closed, relying on the 137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The spring-extend fail-safe safely opens the latch on air loss.
Textile Tension Draw
Draws back a fabric guide arm in a textile loom. The CA pivot mount accommodates the slight arcing motion during the 25mm pull cycle.
PCB Gripper Release
Pulls a small electronic component gripper closed against a stop. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs the 25mm stroke impact without damaging the delicate PCB.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25CA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25CA
To replace this MTAL25X25CA, order the MTBL25X25CA. Confirm the 25mm bore, 25mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA clevis, and the 0.2 MPa minimum pressure. Remember the fail-safe home is extended. If you need less force, step down to the 20mm bore (81.7 N at 0.5 MPa). If pulling heavier loads, step up to the 32mm bore (261.2 N at 0.5 MPa). Since this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept CS1-M/DS1-M sensors; the MTBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25CA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25CA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X25CA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X25CA, matching the 25mm bore, 25mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA clevis. The MTBL upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder where air retracts and spring extends. The fail-safe home is extended. Usable pull force is 2.6 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 and requires a minimum 0.2 MPa air pressure.
