This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75SU — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75SU 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 MTAL25X75SU
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X75SU 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75SU.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X75SU
The AirTAC MTAL25X75SU is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the 10mm rod for the 75mm work stroke, while an internal spring extends it. Fail-safe home is extended. It delivers 137.2N of usable pull at 0.5MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X75SU, matching the 25mm bore, stroke, and G1/8 port.
This SKU includes a U flat-end back cover and a -S magnet. The MTAL uses threaded covers and CS1-M/DS1-M sensors, whereas the MTBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. It uses a fixed rubber bumper and self-lubricating guide. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.

| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75SU |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75SU 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 MTAL25X75SU Is Used
Textile Loom Tension Release
Pulls a yarn tensioning guide back during machine stop cycles. The 137.2N pull at 0.5MPa handles the drag, while the spring-extended fail-safe safely loosens the thread on air loss.
Electronic Component Gate
Retracts a sorting diverter in a PCB assembly line. The 75mm stroke moves the gate clear, and the spring-extended home position blocks the chute safely when pneumatic power is cut.
Packaging Carton Flap Puller
Draws back a folding mechanism on a carton erector. The 25mm bore provides compact force, and the U flat-end cover mounts rigidly to the machine frame without clearance issues.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X75SU with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75SU
To replace the MTAL25X75SU with the MTBL25X75SU, confirm the 25mm bore, 75mm stroke, M10x1.25 rod thread, G1/8 port, and U back cover. The -S magnet means you must switch from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Maintain the 0.2MPa minimum operating pressure and remember the fail-safe home is extended. Do not apply external load on the spring extend stroke.
For sizing, step down to the 20mm bore (81.7N pull at 0.5MPa) for lighter tasks, or step up to the 32mm bore (261.2N at 0.5MPa) for heavier pulls. The 75mm stroke is standard, but ensure no rod-bending side loads occur.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75SU (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X75SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X75SU FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X75SU is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X75SU. It matches the 25mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U back cover. You must upgrade your sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder with a fixed rubber bumper. The usable pull force is 137.2N at 0.5MPa and 219.6N at 0.7MPa (max 22.4 kgf). The fail-safe home is extended, meaning the internal spring pushes the rod out on air loss.
