This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X60SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X60SCM 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 MTAL40X60SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X60SCM is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X60SCM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X60SCM
The AirTAC MTAL40X60SCM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the rod to perform work, while an internal spring extends it back out. It delivers a usable pull force of 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X60SCM, matching the 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, and G1/4 port.
This SKU features a -S magnet for position sensing. The MTAL uses older CS1-M or DS1-M switches, whereas the MTBL replacement upgrades to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MTAL has threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper; the MTBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body. On air loss, the fail-safe home is extended. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X60SCM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X60SCM |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X60SCM |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X60SCM 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 MTAL40X60SCM Is Used
Injection Mold Ejector
Pulls an internal mold core back against 439.4 N of resistance at 0.5 MPa, relying on the spring-extended fail-safe to safely park the core out during air loss.
Press Brake Clamp
Retracts a heavy lower clamp on a metal press brake, using the 16 mm rod and G1/4 port to handle high flow while drawing back under 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa.
Packaging Lid Opener
Pulls a carton sealing arm down via the CM round-end cover, letting the internal spring extend the arm up to clear the packaging path when air is cut.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X60SCM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X60SCM
To replace this MTAL40X60SCM, install the MTBL40X60SCM. Confirm the 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CM round-end back cover, and -S magnet. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure and that the fail-safe home is extended. The fixed rubber bumper cannot hold a mid-stroke load.
If sizing up or down, the next size down is the 32 mm bore delivering 261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The 40 mm bore is the largest in this series, providing 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa. Since the 60 mm stroke is below the 100 mm maximum, rod bending risks are low, but avoid side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X60SCM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X60SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X60SCM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL40X60SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X60SCM, matching the 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, and G1/4 port. You will need to upgrade your sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder with a fixed rubber bumper. The usable pull force is 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa, requiring a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure. The fail-safe home is extended, meaning the spring pushes the rod out on air loss.
