This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL25X80U, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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 MTAL25X80U
The AirTAC MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80U 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 direct replacement is the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80U.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80U
The AirTAC MTAL25X80U is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 25mm bore and 80mm stroke. Air retracts the rod, while an internal spring extends it. It delivers a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X80U, matching the bore, stroke, G1/8 port, and U flat-end back cover.
This U-cover variant has no -S magnet and cannot take a position sensor. The MTAL uses threaded covers and older CS1-M/DS1-M switches, whereas the MTBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. It uses a fixed rubber bumper and a hard-chrome carbon-steel rod. Remember the fail-safe home is extended; apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80U Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80U |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80U |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80U 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 MTAL25X80U Is Used
Injection Mold Ejector Retract
Pulls the mold ejector pins back against 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa before the mold closes, using the spring-extend fail-safe to park the pins safely out of the cavity.
Packaging Flap Tensioner
Draws back a carton sealing flap during the packaging cycle, relying on the 80mm stroke and fixed rubber bumper to absorb the end-of-stroke impact without adjustment.
Textile Loom Catch Pull
Retracts a yarn catch mechanism in textile machinery, where the single-acting pull design requires only one 3/2 valve and minimal 0.2 MPa air pressure to function.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80U with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80U
To replace the MTAL25X80U, specify the MTBL25X80U. Confirm the 25mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and U flat-end back cover. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; if sensing is needed, step up to an MTBL25X80S model and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Minimum operating pressure is 0.2 MPa.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to a 20mm bore yields 81.7 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 32mm bore provides 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. At 80mm stroke, mind rod side-load and bending to prevent premature seal wear. The fail-safe home is extended, so never rely on the spring to hold a mid-stroke load.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80U (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80U instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80U FAQ
Yes, the MTAL25X80U is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL25X80U. It matches the 25mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U flat-end back cover, but upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design. Because this MTAL lacks the -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor; if you need sensing, specify an MTBL25X80S and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder where air retracts the rod and a spring extends it. The usable pull force is 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 219.6 N at 0.7 MPa (max 22.4 kgf), requiring a minimum of 0.2 MPa. The fail-safe home is extended. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion, and you must apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke.
