This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80CM 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 MTAL25X80CM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80CM 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80CM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80CM
The AirTAC MTAL25X80CM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, yielding a fail-safe extended home position. It delivers 137.2 N of usable pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X80CM, matching the 25mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM cover.
This SKU has no -S magnet and cannot accept a position sensor. The MTAL uses threaded covers and a PT port thread; the MTBL upgrade shifts to a riveted rolling-packed body. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80CM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80CM |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80CM |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80CM 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 MTAL25X80CM Is Used
Injection Mold Ejector Drawback
Pulls an injection mold ejector pin back against 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The spring-extend fail-safe parks the pin out for safe mold cleaning.
Packaging Flap Latch
Retracts a carton packaging flap latch on a 3/2 valve signal. Spring extension releases the flap automatically if air pressure drops.
Textile Tension Gate
Draws back a textile thread tension gate. The fixed rubber bumper handles the 80mm stroke impact without requiring adjustment.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80CM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80CM
Replace the MTAL25X80CM with the MTBL25X80CM. Confirm the 25mm bore, 80mm stroke, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, CM round-end back cover, and G1/8 PT port. Since this is a no-magnet SKU, you lose the CS1-M/DS1-M switch option; the MTBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Maintain a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure and ensure no external load rides the spring extend stroke. The fail-safe home is extended.
To size either way: step down to the 20mm bore for 81.7 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the 32mm bore for 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The 80mm stroke is within the 100mm standard limit.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80CM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80CM instead of this discontinued model.
