This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60SCA 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 MTAL25X60SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X60SCA 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60SCA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X60SCA
The AirTAC MTAL25X60SCA is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, yielding a fail-safe home position. It delivers 137.2 N of usable pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X60SCA, matching the 25mm bore, 60mm stroke, and G1/8 port.
This SKU features a CA pivot clevis back cover for arcing loads, a fixed rubber bumper, and a -S magnet. Upgrade details include moving from threaded covers to a riveted body and switching from CS1-M/DS1-M sensors to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG on the MTBL. Avoid external loads on the spring extend stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X60SCA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X60SCA |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60SCA |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60SCA 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 MTAL25X60SCA Is Used
Packaging Flap Pull
Retracts a cardboard carton sealing flap with 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa, springing back open safely on air loss.
Textile Tension Draw
Pulls a fabric tensioning guide roller back against a stop, using the CA clevis to absorb pivoting arc loads.
PCB Test Retract
Draws an electronics test probe head away from a board, relying on the fail-safe extended position to prevent crushing.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X60SCA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60SCA
Replace this MTAL25X60SCA with the MTBL25X60SCA. Confirm the 25mm bore, 60mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot clevis, and the sensor switch from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Maintain the 0.2 MPa minimum pressure and remember the fail-safe home is extended.
For sizing flexibility, step down to the 20mm bore for lighter tasks (81.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa) or step up to the 32mm bore for heavier pulls (261.2 N at 0.5 MPa). At 60mm stroke, watch for rod-bending side loads on the clevis.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60SCA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X60SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X60SCA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X60SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X60SCA, matching the 25mm bore, 60mm stroke, CA clevis, and G1/8 port. You will upgrade from threaded covers to a riveted body and change your CS1-M/DS1-M sensors to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
It provides 137.2 N of usable pull force at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa, requiring a 0.2 MPa minimum. It is single-acting pull, meaning air retracts the rod and the internal spring extends it. The fail-safe home is extended, so never apply external loads on the extend stroke.
