This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL25X25CM, 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 MTAL25X25CM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25CM 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25CM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25CM
The AirTAC MTAL25X25CM 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 usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X25CM, matching the bore, stroke, port, and force class.
This CM round-end cover unit uses a G1/8 port and a Ø10 mm rod with an M10x1.25 thread. It has no -S magnet and cannot take a position sensor. The MTAL uses threaded covers and older CS1-M/DS1-M switches, while the MTBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25CM Technical Specifications

| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25CM |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25CM 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 MTAL25X25CM Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Pulls a 25mm latch back inside an injection molding machine, using 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa to clear the die cavity before the spring extends for a safe reset.
PCB Handler Clamping
Draws back a tension gripper on a PCB routing line, relying on the fail-safe extended position to release the board instantly if the 0.2 MPa air supply drops.
Textile Tensioner
Retracts a guide arm on a textile winding frame, applying 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa to pull the fabric taut while the fixed rubber bumper absorbs the stop impact.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25CM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25CM
Replace this MTAL25X25CM with the MTBL25X25CM, confirming the 25mm bore, 25mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and CM round-end cover. Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot hold a sensor; the MTBL upgrade requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Maintain a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure and apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke, as the fail-safe home is extended.
To size either direction: stepping down to the 20mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa pull force to 81.7 N, while stepping up to the 32mm bore raises it to 261.2 N. The 25mm stroke keeps rod bending risk low.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25CM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25CM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X25CM is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X25CM, which matches the 25mm bore, 25mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM mounting. You must upgrade from the old CS1-M/DS1-M sensors to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches if you use a magnet version.
This single-acting pull cylinder yields 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa. Air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. On air loss, the fail-safe home is extended. It cannot hold a mid-stroke load without an external device.
