This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL25X30SCM, 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 MTAL25X30SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X30SCM is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 30mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X30SCM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X30SCM
The AirTAC MTAL25X30SCM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, meaning the fail-safe home position is extended. This 25 mm bore delivers a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X30SCM, matching the 30 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end cover.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for position sensing. On the MTAL this uses older CS1-M or DS1-M switches, whereas the MTBL upgrade accepts CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MTAL features threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, while the MTBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Never apply external loads to the spring-extend stroke, as this damages the internal mechanism.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X30SCM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X30SCM |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X30SCM |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 30 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X30SCM 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 MTAL25X30SCM Is Used
Thermoformer Film Tension
Pulls a 137.2 N draw-bar to tension packaging film at 0.5 MPa, releasing it instantly via a 3/2 valve when the spring extends safely on air loss.
CNC Lathe Chuck Gate
Retracts a safety gate latch on a 30 mm stroke during part loading, using the spring-extended fail-safe to lock the gate closed during power loss.
PCB Tester Probe Lift
Pulls a test probe carriage away from delicate boards using the -S magnet and CS1-M switch to confirm retraction before the conveyor advances.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X30SCM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X30SCM
To replace this MTAL25X30SCM, install the MTBL25X30SCM. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, PT port form, CM round-end cover, and the -S magnet (requiring CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the new body). Maintain a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure to overcome the return spring, and remember the fail-safe home is extended. If sizing down, the 20 mm bore provides 81.7 N at 0.5 MPa. If sizing up, the 32 mm bore provides 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The stroke is under 100 mm, so rod-bending side loads are minimal, but always avoid external loading on the extend stroke.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X30SCM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X30SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X30SCM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X30SCM is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X30SCM, which matches the 25 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM cover. You must update your sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG for the new riveted body.
This single-acting pull cylinder provides 137.2 N of usable pull force at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa. It operates on 0.2-1.0 MPa pressure with a speed of 50-800 mm/s. The fail-safe home is extended, and it uses a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion.
