This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X40CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X40CM in place of this model. 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 MTAL25X40CM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X40CM is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 40mm 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 drop-in replacement is the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X40CM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X40CM
The AirTAC MTAL25X40CM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the 10mm rod for the work stroke, while an internal spring extends it. The fail-safe home position is fully extended. It delivers a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X40CM, matching the 25mm bore, 40mm stroke, and G1/8 port.
This MTAL25X40CM variant features a CM round-end back cover and a PT tapered port thread. It uses threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept a position sensor. The MTBL upgrade changes to a riveted rolling-packed body and uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors if needed.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X40CM Technical Specifications

| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X40CM |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 40 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X40CM 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 MTAL25X40CM Is Used
Packaging Flap Puller
Retracts a carton sealing flap on a packaging line using 137.2 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, relying on the spring-extended fail-safe to clear the path during an air loss shutdown.
Textile Tension Draw-Bar
Draws back a fabric tensioning bar in a textile machine; the 10mm rod handles the single-direction pull while the fixed rubber bumper absorbs the internal impact.
PCB Router Gate Latch
Pulls a safety gate latch closed on a PCB routing station, using the CM round-end cover for flush mounting and the spring to hold the latch open on air loss.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X40CM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X40CM
To replace this MTAL25X40CM with the MTBL25X40CM, confirm the 25mm bore, 40mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and CM round-end cover. The minimum operating pressure is 0.2 MPa. Remember that the spring-extended fail-safe home means you must apply no external load on the extend stroke. If you need less force, step down to the 20mm bore (81.7 N at 0.5 MPa). If you need more pull, step up to the 32mm bore (261.2 N at 0.5 MPa).
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X40CM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X40CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X40CM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X40CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X40CM, matching the 25mm bore, 40mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM cover. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
This single-acting pull cylinder provides a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa, operating between 0.2 and 1.0 MPa. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept a position sensor; the MTBL replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
