This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60CM 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 MTAL25X60CM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X60CM 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60CM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X60CM
The AirTAC MTAL25X60CM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod, while an internal spring extends it. The fail-safe home is extended. It delivers 137.2 N of usable pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X60CM, matching the 25mm bore, 60mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM cover.
This SKU has no magnet (-S), so it cannot take a position sensor. The MTAL uses threaded covers and a PT port; the MTBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact. Never apply external load on the spring extend stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X60CM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X60CM |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60CM |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60CM 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 MTAL25X60CM Is Used
Textile Loom Tension Gate
Pulls a yarn tensioning gate closed during weaving cycles. The 137.2 N pull force at 0.5 MPa handles the resistance, and the spring-extended fail-safe opens the gate on air loss.
CNC Lathe Chuck Lever
Draws back a secondary chuck clamping lever on a bar feeder. The 60mm stroke clears the bar stock, while the fixed rubber bumper prevents lever shock damage.
Packaging Film Splicer
Retracts a film splicing blade on a form-fill-seal machine. The single-acting pull design needs only one 3/2 valve, simplifying the pneumatic manifold.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X60CM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60CM
To replace the MTAL25X60CM with the MTBL25X60CM, confirm the 25mm bore, 60mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CM round-end back cover, and lack of a magnet. Because this SKU has no -S, it cannot accept a CS1-M or DS1-M sensor, and the MTBL upgrade would use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches if a magnet is added. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.
If you need less force, step down to the 20mm bore (81.7 N at 0.5 MPa). If you need more force, step up to the 32mm bore (261.2 N at 0.5 MPa). Remember the fail-safe home is extended, and never apply external load on the spring extend stroke.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60CM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X60CM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X60CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X60CM, which matches the 25mm bore, 60mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM back cover. The MTBL uses a riveted rolling-packed 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, requiring a minimum of 0.2 MPa. The fail-safe home is extended; on air loss, the internal spring pushes the rod back out. Do not apply external load on the extend stroke.
