This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75SCA 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 MTAL25X75SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X75SCA 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75SCA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X75SCA
The AirTAC MTAL25X75SCA is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 75 mm 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 MTBL25X75SCA, matching the bore, stroke, G1/8 port, and CA mounting.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for position sensing. On the MTAL, this uses older CS1-M or DS1-M switches, whereas the MTBL replacement upgrades to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MTAL features threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, while the current MTBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The CA back cover provides a pivot clevis that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing loads.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X75SCA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X75SCA |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75SCA |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75SCA 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 MTAL25X75SCA Is Used
Packaging Flap Draw-back
Retracts a carton sealing flap using 137.2 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, relying on the spring-extend fail-safe to clear the packaging path when air drops.
Textile Tension Release
Pulls a fabric tensioning guide out of the web during machine jams; the CA pivot clevis absorbs arcing motion while the spring safely extends the rod home.
Electronic Tester Disconnect
Draws a spring-loaded probe plate away from PCB test points, using the 75 mm stroke and -S magnet to confirm full retraction before unloading.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X75SCA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75SCA
To replace this MTAL25X75SCA with the MTBL25X75SCA, confirm the 25 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, CA pivot clevis, and -S magnet. Remember the sensor family changes from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Maintain a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure, and apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke. On air loss, the spring forces the rod back out to the extended fail-safe home.
For sizing, step down to the 20 mm bore if you need less force (81.7 N at 0.5 MPa), or step up to the 32 mm bore for heavier pulls (261.2 N at 0.5 MPa). At a 75 mm stroke, ensure your mounting alignment is precise to prevent rod-bending side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75SCA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X75SCA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X75SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X75SCA, which matches the 25 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA mounting. You will only need to upgrade your position sensors from the older CS1-M/DS1-M to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
This single-acting pull cylinder has a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa. It operates on 0.2-1.0 MPa air, requires a 3/2 valve, and uses a fixed rubber bumper. The fail-safe home is extended.
