This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X100SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X100SCM 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 MTAL40X100SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X100SCM is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 100mm stroke, G1/4 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X100SCM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X100SCM
The AirTAC MTAL40X100SCM is a discontinued single-acting pull cylinder with a spring-extend fail-safe. Air retracts the rod, while an internal spring extends it. This 40mm bore generates a usable pull force of 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X100SCM.
This CM round-end cover model includes an S magnet for CS1-M/DS1-M switches; the MTBL upgrade uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers. The 16mm carbon-steel rod has a 20um hard chrome plating. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.

| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X100SCM |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X100SCM |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 100 mm |
| Acting type | Single acting, pull (spring extend) |
| Port size | G1/4 |
| Rod thread | M12×1.25 |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X100SCM carries the same single-acting ratings.
Usable Pull Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (net of spring) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 439.4 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 650.4 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 MTAL40X100SCM Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Pulls a mold core back against 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The spring-extend fail-safe ensures the core retracts outward safely on air loss, preventing mold damage.
Packaging Flap Folding
Draws a carton flap closed during 100mm travel. The single-acting design needs only one 3/2 valve, simplifying packaging machine pneumatics.
Welding Fixture Clamp
Retracts a holding pin to release welded parts. The 16mm hard-chrome rod withstands repetitive cycles, while the fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-stop impact.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X100SCM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X100SCM
To replace this MTAL40X100SCM with the MTBL40X100SCM, confirm the 40mm bore, 100mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CM cover, and S magnet. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum pressure and the fail-safe EXTENDED home position. At 100mm stroke, minimize side-loads to prevent rod-bending. If sizing down, the 32mm bore yields 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa; if stepping up, this 40mm bore is the largest available, providing 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X100SCM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X100SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X100SCM FAQ
Yes, it is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X100SCM, matching the 40mm bore, 100mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CM mounting. You will need to upgrade your switches from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
This single-acting pull cylinder provides 439.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa. It operates between 0.2-1.0 MPa. The maximum standard stroke is 100mm, and the fail-safe home is extended.
