This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL25X25SCA, 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 MTAL25X25SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25SCA 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25SCA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25SCA
The AirTAC MTAL25X25SCA is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod, while an internal spring extends it, providing a fail-safe extended home position on air loss. This 25mm bore unit generates a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X25SCA, matching the bore, stroke, and G1/8 port.
This SKU features a CA pivot clevis back cover designed for arcing loads, an M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and a -S magnet for position sensing. The older MTAL uses threaded covers and CS1-M / DS1-M switches, whereas the MTBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact.

| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25SCA 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 MTAL25X25SCA Is Used
Packaging Flap Pull
Retracts a carton sealing arm to clear the packaging path, yielding 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa to pull the linkage clear before the spring extends it to a safe rest.
Textile Tension Gate
Draws back a yarn tensioning guide out of the thread path, using the fail-safe extended position to keep the guide visible and clear when the air supply drops.
Lathe Chuck Latch
Pulls a secondary safety latch clear of a CNC chuck during cycles, relying on the CA pivot clevis to accommodate the slight arcing motion of the release mechanism.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25SCA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25SCA
To replace this MTAL25X25SCA, use the MTBL25X25SCA. Confirm the 25mm bore, 25mm stroke, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, CA pivot back cover, and the -S magnet (noting 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. If stepping down, the 20mm bore yields 81.7 N at 0.5 MPa; if stepping up, the 32mm bore provides 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25SCA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25SCA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X25SCA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X25SCA, which matches the 25mm bore, 25mm stroke, CA pivot cover, and G1/8 port. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and switches sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder where air retracts the rod and the spring extends it; the fail-safe home is extended. The usable pull force is 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa (equivalent to 22.4 kgf). It requires a minimum of 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring and operate.
