This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75CA 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).

The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X75CA is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 75mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75CA.
The AirTAC MTAL25X75CA is a discontinued single-acting pull cylinder with a 25mm bore and 75mm 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 MTBL25X75CA, matching the bore, stroke, CA clevis, and G1/8 port.
This MTAL25X75CA lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot accept a position sensor. The original uses a CS1-M/DS1-M sensor family and threaded covers, whereas the MTBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact. The CA back cover provides a pivot clevis for arcing loads.

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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75CA carries the same single-acting ratings.
| 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.

| 25 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×75 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional magnet for a CS1-M / DS1-M sensor (MTBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG). |
| CA / U / CM | Back cover: CA pivot, U flat-end or CM round-end. |
Replacement: MTAL → MTBL. Related: MSAL/MSBL (single-acting push), MAL/MBL (double acting).
Draws back a cardboard folding arm during the 75mm stroke. The 137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa overcomes hinge friction, while the spring-extended fail-safe parks the arm clear of the conveyor.
Retracts a yarn tensioning gate out of the thread path. The CA pivot clevis accommodates the lever arc, and the spring extends the gate to a safe open position if the 0.2 MPa air supply drops.
Pulls a safety guard closed during spindle spin-up. With no magnet on this SKU, you rely on the extended fail-safe home to lock the guard open mechanically for operator access.
To replace the MTAL25X75CA, specify the MTBL25X75CA. Confirm the 25mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and CA pivot back cover. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor; if you need sensing on the MTBL, add the S code for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure and apply no external load on the spring extend stroke. On air loss, the spring pushes the rod out to the extended fail-safe home.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 20mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa pull force to 81.7 N, while stepping up to the 32mm bore increases it to 261.2 N. The CA pivot clevis is ideal for applications requiring arc movement, and the fixed rubber bumper requires no adjustment.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MTAL25X75CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X75CA, matching the 25mm bore, 75mm stroke, CA clevis, and G1/8 port. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design but retains the same force class.
This single-acting pull cylinder provides a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum standard stroke of 100mm. Air retracts the rod, but on air loss, the internal spring pushes the rod to the extended fail-safe home position.
