This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80CA 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 MTAL25X80CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80CA is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 80mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80CA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80CA
The AirTAC MTAL25X80CA 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. It delivers a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa.
The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X80CA, matching the 25mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot. This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a position sensor. The MTAL uses threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, whereas the MTBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80CA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80CA |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80CA |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 80 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80CA 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 MTAL25X80CA Is Used
Packaging Flap Retraction
Pulls a cardboard carton flap backward on a packaging line using 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa, relying on the spring to push the flap open during an air loss shutdown.
Lathe Chuck Unclamping
Draws back a small lathe collet latch against the workpiece; the CA pivot pin absorbs angular misalignment during the 80mm pull cycle.
PCB Test Probe Withdrawal
Retracts an electronics test fixture probe with 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa, ensuring the spring safely extends the probe away from the board on air loss.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80CA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80CA
Replace this MTAL25X80CA with the MTBL25X80CA, confirming the 25mm bore, 80mm stroke, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and CA clevis mount. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept a CS1-M/DS1-M sensor; the MTBL upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Maintain 0.2 MPa minimum pressure and apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke, as the fail-safe home is extended.
To size either direction: step down to the 20mm bore (55.3 N pull @0.5 MPa) for lighter tasks, or step up to the 32mm bore (261.2 N pull @0.5 MPa) for heavier loads. At 80mm stroke, minimize side loads to prevent rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80CA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80CA instead of this discontinued model.
