This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL25X25SCM, 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 MTAL25X25SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25SCM 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25SCM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25SCM
The AirTAC MTAL25X25SCM 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 MTBL25X25SCM, matching the bore, stroke, G1/8 port, and CM mounting.
This SKU includes a -S magnet for position sensing. The MTAL uses older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches, whereas the MTBL upgrade accepts CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MTAL features threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, while the current MTBL line uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Fail-safe home is extended, meaning the rod pushes out on air loss.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25SCM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25SCM |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25SCM |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25SCM 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 MTAL25X25SCM Is Used
Packaging Lid Pull
Retracts a carton sealing lid on a packaging line. The 137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa handles the tension, and the spring-extended fail-safe opens the lid safely during an air loss event.
PCB Tester Clamp
Pulls a test probe bracket away from printed circuit boards. The 25mm stroke gives precise clearance, while the CS1-M magnet confirms retraction for the control system.
Textile Tension Gate
Draws back a yarn tensioning gate. The single-acting design uses one 3/2 valve, and the fixed rubber bumper absorbs the shock when the rod reaches the extended home position.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25SCM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25SCM
To replace this MTAL25X25SCM with the MTBL25X25SCM, confirm the 25mm bore, 25mm stroke, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and CM round-end back cover. Note the sensor family change from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Operating pressure must be at least 0.2 MPa, and you must apply no external load on the spring extend stroke. The fail-safe home is extended.
If sizing this 25mm bore, step down to the 20mm bore for lighter duty (81.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa) or step up to the 32mm bore for heavier pulling (261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa). This 25mm model provides 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25SCM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X25SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X25SCM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X25SCM is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X25SCM, which matches the 25mm bore, 25mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM back cover. You will need to upgrade your sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
The usable pull force is 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa. It is a single-acting pull cylinder, so air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. The fail-safe home position is extended, meaning the rod moves out on air loss.
