This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SCA 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 MTAL40X75SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75SCA 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SCA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75SCA
The AirTAC MTAL40X75SCA is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the 16mm rod for the 75mm work stroke, while an internal spring extends it. The fail-safe home is extended. It delivers 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 MTBL40X75SCA, matching the 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA clevis mount. This MTAL features threaded covers and an S magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M switches. The MTBL upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. End-of-stroke impact uses a fixed rubber bumper. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75SCA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75SCA |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SCA |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SCA 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 MTAL40X75SCA Is Used
Packaging Flap Folder
Retracts a 75mm lever arm to tuck cardboard flaps on a case sealer, yielding 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The spring-extended fail-safe opens the arm on air loss to prevent carton jams.
Stamping Press Ejector
Pulls a 16mm ejector pin back into a die bed to release a stamped metal part. Delivers 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa to overcome stripper friction before the spring extends to clear the die.
Textile Guiding Tensioner
Draws back a yarn guide arm to maintain tension on a weaving loom. The CA pivot clevis swings smoothly on a pin to accommodate the arcing load during the 75mm pull stroke.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75SCA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SCA
Replace this MTAL40X75SCA with the MTBL40X75SCA. Confirm the 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA pivot clevis, and the S magnet. Remember the sensor family changes from CS1-M or DS1-M to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG. Operating pressure must be at least 0.2 MPa. The fail-safe home is extended, and you must apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
To size up or down, consider the neighbouring bores. Stepping down to the 32mm bore drops the pull force to 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. Stepping up is not available as 40mm is the largest MAL series bore. With a 75mm stroke, manage side loads to prevent rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SCA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75SCA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL40X75SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X75SCA. It matches the 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA clevis. The MTBL upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors instead of the older CS1-M or DS1-M.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder, so air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. The fail-safe home on air loss is extended. Usable pull force is 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa. It requires a minimum of 0.2 MPa. The maximum holding force is roughly 66 kgf.
