This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X10CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X10CM 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 MTAL40X10CM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X10CM is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 10mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X10CM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X10CM
The AirTAC MTAL40X10CM is a discontinued single-acting pull mini cylinder with a 40mm bore and 10mm stroke. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, yielding a fail-safe extended home position. It delivers a usable pull force of 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X10CM, sharing the same bore, stroke, G1/4 port, and CM mounting.
This MTAL40X10CM unit features a CM round-end back cover and a fixed rubber bumper. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. When upgrading to the MTBL40X10CM, note the construction shifts from threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body, and sensor compatibility moves from the older CS1-M/DS1-M to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG series.

| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X10CM |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 10 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X10CM 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 MTAL40X10CM Is Used
Injection Mold Ejector Pull
Retracts an ejection pin on a 40mm bore injection mold using 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa, with the spring safely extending the pin back out on air loss.
Packaging Flap Tensioner
Draws back a carton sealing flap tensioner using 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa, relying on the spring-extend fail-safe to clear the path during machine jams.
Press Brake Tool Retract
Pulls a small upper press brake tooling holder out of the way via the 16mm rod, using the CM round-end cover for compact top mounting.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X10CM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X10CM
To replace the MTAL40X10CM, confirm the 40mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and CM round-end cover on the MTBL40X10CM. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure and that the fail-safe home is extended. Apply no external load to the spring extend stroke. Stepping down, the 32mm bore offers 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa; stepping up is not possible as 40mm is the largest MTAL size.
For sizing both ways, the 32mm bore neighbor pulls 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa (399.4 N at 0.7 MPa). Since 40mm is the maximum available bore, there is no larger size. At 10mm stroke, side-load and rod-bending risks are minimal.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X10CM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X10CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X10CM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL40X10CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X10CM, matching the 40mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CM mounting. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
This single-acting pull cylinder delivers 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa (max 66.3 kgf). Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. The replacement MTBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
