This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL40X10SCA, 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 MTAL40X10SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X10SCA 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 direct replacement is the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X10SCA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X10SCA
The AirTAC MTAL40X10SCA is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 40mm bore and 10mm stroke. Air retracts the rod for the work stroke, while an internal spring extends it when air is released. The fail-safe home position is extended. It delivers a usable pull force of 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MTBL40X10SCA, matching the bore, stroke, G1/4 port, and CA clevis.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for CS1-M / DS1-M switches; the MTBL upgrade uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The MTAL features threaded covers, while the MTBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The CA back cover provides a pivot clevis that swings on a pin, ideal for arcing loads. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X10SCA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X10SCA |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X10SCA |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X10SCA 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 MTAL40X10SCA Is Used
Press Brake Tooling Release
Retracts a upper punch holder on a press brake with 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The CA clevis accommodates arc movement, and the spring extends safely if air pressure drops.
Welding Fixture Clamp Pull
Pulls a locating pin back inside a robotic welding jig. The 40mm bore provides 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa to overcome slag friction, parking extended to allow part unloading.
Packaging Flap Tensioner
Draws back a carton folder flap on a case packer. The 10mm short stroke and fixed rubber bumper absorb the hard end-stop without requiring adjustable cushioning.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X10SCA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X10SCA
To replace the MTAL40X10SCA with the MTBL40X10SCA, confirm the 40mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA pivot clevis, and the -S magnet (noting the sensor family changes from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG). Maintain the 0.2 MPa minimum working pressure. The fail-safe home is extended, and no external load should be applied to the spring extend stroke. If sizing down, the 32mm bore offers 261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa. As the largest standard bore, 40mm is the maximum available. With a 10mm stroke, keep rod-bending side loads minimal.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X10SCA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X10SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X10SCA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL40X10SCA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL40X10SCA, matching the 40mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA clevis. The MTBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers, and its -S magnet requires CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M / DS1-M.
It is single-acting pull, so air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. The fail-safe home is extended. Usable pull force is 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The maximum force is roughly 66 kgf at 0.7 MPa. Minimum operating pressure is 0.2 MPa.
