This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60CA 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 MTAL25X60CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X60CA is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 60mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60CA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X60CA
The AirTAC MTAL25X60CA is a discontinued single-acting pull mini cylinder with a 25mm bore and 60mm stroke. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, yielding a fail-safe extended home position. It delivers a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X60CA, matching the bore, stroke, G1/8 port, and CA clevis.
This non-magnet SKU lacks the -S code and cannot take a position sensor. The MTAL uses a CS1-M/DS1-M magnet family and threaded covers, whereas the MTBL upgrade features CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches and a riveted rolling-packed body. It uses a fixed rubber bumper and a CA pivot clevis that swings on a pin for arcing loads.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X60CA Technical Specifications

| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60CA |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60CA 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 MTAL25X60CA Is Used
Textile Loom Tension Draw-Back
Pulls a thread tensioner back 60mm against a stop. The CA clevis swings for slight misalignment, while the 137.2N pull at 0.5MPa handles the loom tension.
Packaging Flap Latch
Retracts a carton flap latch to release a box. The spring-extended fail-safe keeps the latch open during an air loss, preventing line jams.
CNC Tool Drawer Interlock
Pulls a tool drawer pin on signal. The non-magnet body suits simple end-of-stroke timers, and the 219.6N pull at 0.7MPa secures the 60mm draw.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X60CA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60CA
To replace this MTAL25X60CA, order the MTBL25X60CA. Confirm the 25mm bore, 60mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot clevis, and lack of a magnet. Because this is a single-acting pull cylinder, it requires a 3/2 valve and a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure. The fail-safe home is extended, and you must apply no external load on the spring extend stroke. For stroke lengths at or above 100mm, check side-load and rod-bending limits.
If sizing force, the 25mm bore yields 137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to the 20mm bore drops the pull to 81.7 N at 0.5 MPa. Stepping up to the 32mm bore increases the pull to 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The 60mm stroke is a standard non-standard length, well under the 100mm max standard stroke limit.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60CA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X60CA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X60CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X60CA, matching the 25mm bore, 60mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA clevis. The MTBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers.
The usable pull force is 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa. It is a single-acting pull cylinder, so air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. On air loss, the fail-safe home is extended. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor.
