This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SCM 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 MTAL25X50SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X50SCM 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 drop-in replacement is the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SCM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X50SCM
The AirTAC MTAL25X50SCM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod, while an internal spring extends it. Fail-safe home is extended. It delivers 137.2 N usable pull at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X50SCM.
This 25mm bore unit has a 50mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, and M10x1.25 rod thread. It includes a -S magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M switches. The MTBL upgrade switches to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a riveted rolling-packed body. It uses a fixed rubber bumper and CM round-end back cover.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X50SCM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X50SCM |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SCM |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SCM 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 MTAL25X50SCM Is Used
Textile Loom Tension Release
Pulls a yarn tensioning guide back during loom stop cycles. At 137.2 N pull, it handles the retraction while the spring safely extends the guide on air loss.
PCB Router Gate Retract
Draws back a routing access gate on depaneling machines. The 50mm stroke and CS1-M magnet track gate position for the controller.
Stamping Ejector Pull
Retracts a small parts ejector in a stamping press. The single-acting pull design ensures the ejector springs out to rest when air is cut.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X50SCM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SCM
To replace this MTAL25X50SCM, use the MTBL25X50SCM. Confirm your 25mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 thread, CM back cover, and magnet. Note the sensor family changes from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Maintain a minimum 0.2 MPa pressure. The fail-safe home is extended, so apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
For sizing, stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 81.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Stepping up to the 32mm bore provides 261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Choose based on your load.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SCM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SCM instead of this discontinued model.
