The AirTAC Airtac MTBL Single Acting Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MTBL25X75CA is a genuine single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 75mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Air drives the pull (work) stroke and the spring returns the rod — it rests extended on air loss.
The AirTAC MTBL25X75CA is a compact single-acting pull-type mini cylinder that uses compressed air to retract the rod, while an internal spring extends it. It delivers a usable pull force of 132.6 N at 0.5 MPa. The 75 mm stroke is well-suited for drawing mechanisms closed over a longer distance. A defined fail-safe extended home means the rod safely projects outward upon air loss or valve shutoff.
This CA variant features a pivot clevis back cover designed to swing on a pin, accommodating arcing or angular loads that a rigid flat-end mount cannot. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the body light for tight spaces, and the 10 mm carbon-steel rod has a 20 um hard-chrome plating to resist wear. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot accept a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensor.

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. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Pull force (net of spring) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 132.6 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 215.0 N |
These are the usable single-acting forces after the return spring — lower than a same-bore double-acting MBL. Size with a margin.

Pulls stamped metal sheets out of a press die using 132.6 N of force at 0.5 MPa, with the CA clevis allowing the extractor arm to swing slightly during the 75 mm retraction.
Draws carton flaps closed on a packaging line; the spring-extend fail-safe releases the flap outward if the air supply drops, preventing jams.
Tensions fabric webs by pulling the rod in 75 mm; the pivot mount absorbs angular deflection while the spring safely extends to release tension on shutdown.
Choose this 25 mm bore when you need exactly 132.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. If your tensioning task requires less force, step down to the 20 mm bore (84.8 N at 0.5 MPa); if you need to pull heavier loads, step up to the 32 mm bore (224.8 N at 0.5 MPa). Unlike the MSBL push type that fails safe retracted, this MTBL spring-extend model drives to an extended rest when air is removed. It requires a minimum of 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring and operates via a simple 3/2 valve. Apply no external load during the spring-extend return stroke to avoid damaging the internal mechanism.
For replacement, match the 25 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and CA pivot back cover. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact without adjustable air cushioning. At a 75 mm stroke on this compact body, the overall length (A + 2 x stroke) increases, so verify your pin-to-pin clearance to prevent rod side-loading and bending during arcing motions.
Quick checklist
The usable pull force is 5.7 N at 0.2 MPa, 50.1 N at 0.3 MPa, 91.4 N at 0.4 MPa, 132.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 173.8 N at 0.6 MPa, and 215 N at 0.7 MPa. It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the internal return spring, with a maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa.
No. This specific SKU lacks the built-in magnet (denoted by -S), so it cannot support AirTAC CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors. You would need the MTBL25X75SCA variant for position detection. Additionally, the spring-extend function drives the rod to a fail-safe extended home on air loss, rather than holding a mid-stroke position.
