This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X40SU — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X40SU 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 MTAL25X40SU
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X40SU 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X40SU.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X40SU
The AirTAC MTAL25X40SU is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the 10mm rod over the 40mm stroke, while an internal spring extends it. It delivers a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X40SU, matching the 25mm bore, G1/8 port, and U back cover.
This SKU includes a magnet (-S) for the older CS1-M / DS1-M switches. The MTBL upgrade shifts to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors and swaps the original threaded covers for a riveted rolling-packed body. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact. Remember to apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X40SU Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X40SU |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X40SU |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X40SU 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 MTAL25X40SU Is Used
Textile Loom Tension Gate
Pulls a yarn tensioning gate closed against thread flow. The 137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa handles the drag, and the spring-extend fail-safe opens the gate on air loss to prevent yarn snapping.
PCB Router Clamp Release
Retracts a hold-down clamp during printed circuit board routing. The 40mm stroke clears the cutting tool, while the spring-extend home releases the board safely if the pneumatic supply drops.
Stamping Feeder Stop
Draws a mechanical stop pin back to let strip stock advance in a stamping press. The 25mm bore provides positive retraction, and the fail-safe extended position halts stock feed during an outage.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X40SU with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X40SU
To replace your MTAL25X40SU, use the MTBL25X40SU. Confirm the 25mm bore, 40mm stroke, M10x1.25 rod thread, PT G1/8 port, U flat-end back cover, and magnet. Note the sensor family change from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. Maintain a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure and expect the fail-safe home to be EXTENDED. Never apply external load to the spring-extend stroke.
If stepping down, the 20mm bore offers 81.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If stepping up, the 32mm bore provides 261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The fixed rubber bumper requires no adjustment.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X40SU (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X40SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X40SU FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X40SU is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X40SU, matching the 25mm bore, 40mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U back cover. You must upgrade your CS1-M / DS1-M sensors to the CMSG / DMSG / EMSG family for the new body.
The usable pull force is 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa. The maximum push force is 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa, equating to 22.4 kgf. The fail-safe home is EXTENDED, meaning the internal spring pushes the rod out when air is released.
