This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80SU — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80SU 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 MTAL25X80SU
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80SU 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80SU.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80SU
The AirTAC MTAL25X80SU 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 MTBL25X80SU, matching the 25mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U back cover.
This SKU includes the -S magnet, which uses older CS1-M or DS1-M switches; the MTBL upgrade uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MTAL features threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, whereas the MTBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Remember to apply no external load on the spring extend stroke, as the spring only provides a small rest force.

| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80SU |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80SU 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 MTAL25X80SU Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Pulls a mold ejector pin back 80mm during the clamp cycle. The spring-extend fail-safe safely pushes the pin out if air drops, preventing mold damage.
Packaging Flap Tucking
Retracts a carton tucking blade with 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The spring-extend home keeps the blade safely clear of the product flow path.
Lathe Chuck Disengagement
Draws back a small pneumatic latch on an auto lathe. The U flat-end back cover mounts rigidly to the machine frame to handle the 80mm stroke.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80SU with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80SU
To replace this MTAL25X80SU, install the MTBL25X80SU. Confirm the 25mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, U flat-end back cover, and the -S magnet. Note the sensor family changes from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Maintain a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure and expect the fail-safe home to be extended.
If sizing alternatives, stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 81.7 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32mm bore provides 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. At 80mm stroke, keep the rod guided to prevent side-load bending. The full force set for this 25mm bore is 137.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 22.4 kgf.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80SU (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80SU FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X80SU is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X80SU, matching the 25mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U back cover. You will only need to update your sensor brackets, as the MTBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder, so air retracts the rod and the internal spring extends it. On air loss, the fail-safe home is fully extended. The usable pull force is 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa, requiring a minimum 0.2 MPa to operate.
