This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SU — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SU 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 MTAL25X50SU
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X50SU 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SU.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X50SU
The AirTAC MTAL25X50SU is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 50mm stroke and 25mm bore. Air retracts the 10mm rod, while an internal spring extends it. It yields a usable pull force of 137.2N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X50SU, matching the bore, stroke, G1/8 port, and U back cover.
This SKU includes a -S magnet for position sensing. The MTAL uses older CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MTBL replacement uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MTAL features threaded covers, whereas the MTBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body. On air loss, the spring fail-safe extends the rod outward.

| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SU |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SU 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 MTAL25X50SU Is Used
Thermoforming Film Clamp
Pulls a 25mm latch to secure plastic film during thermoforming, using 137.2N at 0.5 MPa. The spring extends to release the clamp on air loss.
Textile Tension Draw
Retracts a 10mm rod to maintain fabric tension on weaving looms. The fail-safe extended position prevents fabric tears if compressed air drops.
Packaging Flap Closer
Draws back a carton sealing arm with 219.6N at 0.7 MPa. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs the stroke impact without external adjustment.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X50SU with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SU
To replace the MTAL25X50SU, select the MTBL25X50SU to keep the 25mm bore, 50mm stroke, M10x1.25 rod thread, G1/8 PT port, U flat-end back cover, and magnet. Note the sensor family change from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Operating pressure remains 0.2-1.0 MPa minimum. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
For sizing, step down to the 20mm bore for 81.7N pull at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the 32mm bore for 261.2N pull at 0.5 MPa. The fail-safe home is fully extended.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SU (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X50SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X50SU FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X50SU is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X50SU, matching the 25mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U back cover. You must upgrade your position sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
The usable pull force is 137.2N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6N at 0.7 MPa. The operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa minimum. It is a single-acting pull cylinder where air retracts the rod and the internal spring extends it to the fail-safe home.
