This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL25X35CA, 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 MTAL25X35CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X35CA is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 35mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X35CA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X35CA
The AirTAC MTAL25X35CA is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 25mm bore and 35mm 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 MTBL25X35CA, matching the bore, stroke, CA pivot cover, and G1/8 port.
This MTAL25X35CA SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept a position sensor. The MTBL upgrade switches from threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body and uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors if magnetized. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, but it is not a lock. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X35CA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X35CA |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X35CA |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 35 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X35CA 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 MTAL25X35CA Is Used
Textile Loom Tension Gate
Pulls a yarn tensioning gate closed against thread drag. The 137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa handles the load, and the spring-extended fail-safe opens the gate on air loss to prevent yarn snapping.
Packaging Flap Retractor
Retracts a carton folding flap out of the glue path. The CA pivot cover accommodates the arcing motion, while the single-acting design needs only one air line for reliable 35mm retraction.
CNC Lathe Chip Deflector
Draws a metal chip deflector shield clear of the spindle. The 25mm bore provides 219.6 N pull at 0.7 MPa to overcome sticky swarf, springing back out to protect the ways when air drops.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X35CA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X35CA
Replace your MTAL25X35CA with the MTBL25X35CA, confirming the 25mm bore, 35mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot cover, and lack of a magnet. This single-acting pull cylinder requires a 3/2 valve and a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure. The fail-safe home is extended, so never apply external load to the spring extend stroke.
To size either direction: stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 81.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32mm bore provides 261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The 35mm stroke is below the 100mm standard maximum, so rod-bending side loads are a minimal concern.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X35CA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X35CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X35CA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X35CA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X35CA, which matches the 25mm bore, 35mm stroke, CA pivot cover, G1/8 port, and force ratings. The MTBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers.
The usable pull force is 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa. Because this specific MTAL25X35CA SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. The MTBL replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors if a magnetized version is selected.
