This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SCM 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 MTAL40X75SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75SCM 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SCM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75SCM
The AirTAC MTAL40X75SCM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 75 mm stroke. It delivers a usable pull force of 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The direct drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X75SCM, matching the bore, stroke, G1/4 port, and CM mounting. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, meaning the fail-safe home position is fully extended.
This CM round-end variant includes the -S magnet, which uses older CS1-M or DS1-M switches on the MTAL; the MTBL40X75SCM replacement upgrades these to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MTAL features threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, whereas the MTBL utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body. Never apply external loads to the spring extend stroke, as this is an unpowered return action.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75SCM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75SCM |

| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SCM |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SCM 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 MTAL40X75SCM Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Pulls ejection pins back inside a 40 mm bore mold cavity. Provides 439.4 N of retract force at 0.5 MPa to clear the part before the next cycle.
Safety Gate Latching
Retracts a heavy safety gate latch on a CNC lathe. The spring-extended fail-safe locks the gate securely when air pressure is removed.
Press Brake Clutch
Pulls the mechanical clutch engagement arm on a press brake. The 75 mm stroke clears the linkage during an emergency stop.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75SCM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SCM
To replace this MTAL40X75SCM, select the MTBL40X75SCM and confirm the 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, M12x1.25 rod thread, G1/4 port, CM back cover, and magnet option. Remember the minimum operating pressure is 0.2 MPa. The fail-safe home is extended, and you must not apply external loads on the spring extend stroke. If you need less force, step down to the 32 mm bore (261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa). If you need more force, 40 mm is the largest standard MAL bore, so you would transition to an ISO 15552 series for higher capacities.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SCM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75SCM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL40X75SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X75SCM, matching the 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CM mounting. The MTAL uses threaded covers and CS1-M/DS1-M sensors, while the MTBL features a riveted body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
The usable pull force is 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa. It is a single-acting pull cylinder where air retracts the rod and a spring extends it. The fail-safe home position is extended, and the minimum operating pressure is 0.2 MPa.
