This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75CM 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 MTAL25X75CM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X75CM 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75CM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X75CM
The AirTAC MTAL25X75CM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a spring-extend fail-safe. Air retracts the rod, while the internal spring extends it on air loss. It delivers a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X75CM, matching the 25 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, and G1/8 port.
This MTAL25X75CM SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a position sensor. It features a CM round-end back cover, a fixed rubber bumper, and threaded covers. The MTBL upgrade shifts to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for switchable versions. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X75CM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X75CM |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75CM |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 75 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75CM 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 MTAL25X75CM Is Used
Packaging Flap Folding
Pulls cardboard flaps down on a carton erector using 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa, relying on the spring-extend fail-safe to clear the path on air loss.
Textile Tension Draw
Draws back a fabric tensioner arm in a weaving loom; the CM round-end cover fits tight machine frames while the fixed bumper stops the pull stroke cleanly.
Electronics Tray Release
Retracts a latch pin to release PCB trays on a conveyor; the single-acting 3/2 valve operation simplifies pneumatic routing compared to double-acting units.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X75CM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75CM
To replace the MTAL25X75CM, install the MTBL25X75CM. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and CM round-end back cover. Because this MTAL lacks an -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; an MTBL25X75CS version enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Maintain a 0.2 MPa minimum working pressure and expect the spring-extended fail-safe home.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to bore 20 yields 81.7 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to bore 32 provides 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, but it is not a lock. Use an external device for mid-stroke load holding. At 75 mm stroke, watch for rod bending under side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75CM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X75CM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X75CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X75CM, matching the 25 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM mounting. The MTBL upgrades the threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body.
The usable pull force (net of spring) is 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa, requiring a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure. It is single-acting pull, so air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. On air loss, the fail-safe home position is fully extended.
