This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL25X50SCA, 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 MTAL25X50SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X50SCA is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 50mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SCA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X50SCA
The AirTAC MTAL25X50SCA is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 25mm bore and 50mm stroke. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, yielding a fail-safe extended home position. It provides a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X50SCA, matching the bore, stroke, and CA mounting.
This SKU features a -S magnet for position sensing. The MTAL uses older CS1-M or DS1-M switches, whereas the MTBL replacement takes CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MTAL has threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, while the MTBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke to prevent damage.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X50SCA Technical Specifications

| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SCA |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 50 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SCA 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 MTAL25X50SCA Is Used
Textile Loom Tension Gate
Pulls a guide gate to tension synthetic fibers during weaving, using the 137.2 N pull force at 0.5 MPa to maintain consistent material feed rates.
CNC Lathe Door Latch
Retracts a safety cam lock on a sliding machine door, relying on the fail-safe extended position to keep the guard locked during air loss.
Stamping Press Ejector
Draws back a small spring-loaded ejector pin in a 25mm bore fixture, using the 50mm stroke to clear stamped parts before the next cycle.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X50SCA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SCA
To replace the MTAL25X50SCA, order the MTBL25X50SCA. Confirm the 25mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and CA pivot back cover. Swap the old CS1-M/DS1-M sensors for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The system requires a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure and uses a fixed rubber bumper.
If sizing force, step down to the 20mm bore (81.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa) for lighter jobs, or step up to the 32mm bore (261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa) for heavier pulls. Remember the fail-safe home is extended, and never apply external load on the spring extend stroke.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SCA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SCA instead of this discontinued model.
