This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75CA 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 MTAL40X75CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75CA is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 75mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75CA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75CA
The AirTAC MTAL40X75CA is a discontinued 40mm bore, 75mm stroke single-acting pull cylinder with a spring-extend fail-safe. Air retracts the rod to do the work, while an internal spring extends it when air is released. This CA pivot-clevis SKU provides 439.4 N of usable pull force at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X75CA, matching the bore, stroke, 1/4 inch port, and force class.
This MTAL features a fixed rubber bumper and threaded covers, whereas the MTBL upgrade uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept a position sensor; the MTBL replacement supports CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The CA back cover swings on a pin to accommodate arcing loads. Remember to apply no external load on the spring extend stroke, as it is unpowered.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75CA Technical Specifications

| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 75 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75CA 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 MTAL40X75CA Is Used
Packaging Lid Pull
Retracts a heavy carton sealing head with 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa, using the CA pivot to absorb linkage misalignment while the spring extends the lid safely on air loss.
Textile Tension Draw
Pulls fabric tension arms on a weaving loom; the 650.4 N force at 0.7 MPa handles high material drag, while the CA clevis accommodates the pivoting guide.
Stamping Blank Extract
Draws a metal blank out of a progressive die; the 40mm bore provides the power needed, and the spring-extend fail-safe parks the extractor safely out of the tool.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75CA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75CA
To replace this MTAL40X75CA, specify the MTBL40X75CA. Confirm the 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA pivot-clevis back cover, and the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor; if you need position detection on the MTBL, select the -S variant for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The fail-safe home is EXTENDED on air loss. Always ensure no external load is applied to the spring extend stroke.
For sizing, step down to the 32mm bore for lighter arcing loads, which provides 261.2 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. If you need more force, the 40mm is the largest available in this series, offering a maximum of 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa. At 75mm stroke, verify your pin mounting alignment to prevent rod-bending side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75CA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75CA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL40X75CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X75CA. It matches the 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/4 port, CA pivot-clevis, and force class. The MTBL upgrades the threaded covers to a riveted body, and if you need a sensor, the MTBL -S version uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder, so air retracts the rod and a spring extends it. The fail-safe home on air loss is EXTENDED. The usable pull force is 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa (max kgf is roughly 66.3 kgf). It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring.
