This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X30SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X30SCM 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 MTAL40X30SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X30SCM is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 30mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X30SCM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X30SCM
The AirTAC MTAL40X30SCM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod to do work, while an internal spring extends it back out. The fail-safe home position is extended. It delivers a usable pull force of 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X30SCM, matching the 40 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, and G1/4 port.
This SKU features a -S magnet for position sensing. The MTAL uses older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches, whereas the MTBL upgrade uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MTAL has threaded covers, while the MTBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. This unit has a CM round-end back cover, a fixed rubber bumper, and a 16 mm hard-chrome carbon-steel rod. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.

| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X30SCM 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 MTAL40X30SCM Is Used
Injection Mold Ejector Pull
Retracts an ejection pin in a 40 mm bore plastic injection mold. Air pulls the 16 mm rod with 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa, while the spring-extended fail-safe ensures pins stay out during air loss.
Stamping Press Stripper
Draws a stripper plate back on a pneumatic press. The 650.4 N pull force at 0.7 MPa clears the metal sheet, and the fixed rubber bumper absorbs the internal stroke impact.
CNC Lathe Door Latch
Pulls a heavy sliding safety door closed on a CNC turning center. The CM round-end back cover allows flexible rear mounting, and the -S magnet confirms door closure via a CS1-M switch.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X30SCM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X30SCM
To replace this MTAL40X30SCM, install the MTBL40X30SCM. Confirm the 40 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CM round-end back cover, and M12x1.25 rod-end thread. Swap your CS1-M or DS1-M sensors for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG models. Maintain a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure. Remember the fail-safe home is extended, and never apply external load to the spring extend stroke.
If sizing force, step down to the 32 mm bore for 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up if 439.4 N is insufficient. At 30 mm stroke, rod bending is low risk. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X30SCM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X30SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X30SCM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL40X30SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X30SCM. It matches the 40 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CM mounting. You must upgrade your position sensors from the old CS1-M or DS1-M to the new CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG models.
The usable pull force is 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa. The full figure set is 228.4 N at 0.3 MPa, 333.9 N at 0.4 MPa, 544.9 N at 0.6 MPa, and 122.9 N at the 0.2 MPa minimum. The maximum standard stroke is 100 mm.
