This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL40X75SU, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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 MTAL40X75SU
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75SU 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 direct replacement is the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SU.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75SU
The AirTAC MTAL40X75SU is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder. Air retracts the 16mm rod over a 75mm stroke, while an internal spring extends it back out. The direct replacement is the MTBL40X75SU, matching the 40mm bore, G1/4 port, and U back cover. This bore delivers a usable pull force of 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa, net of the return spring.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for position sensing. The MTAL uses threaded covers and CS1-M / DS1-M switches, whereas the MTBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact. The fail-safe home is extended, meaning air loss pushes the rod out.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75SU Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75SU |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SU |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SU 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 MTAL40X75SU Is Used
Injection Mold Ejector Reset
Pulls a 439N mold ejector plate back on air, using the spring-extended fail-safe to safely clear the cavity when air drops.
Packaging Flap Retractor
Draws back a carton sealing flap during the 75mm stroke, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to absorb rapid retraction impacts.
Press Brake Tension Hold
Applies 650.4 N of pull force at 0.7 MPa to draw a tensioning arm out of the way, using the G1/4 port for high flow.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75SU with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SU
To replace this MTAL40X75SU with the MTBL40X75SU, confirm the 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/4 PT port, M12x1.25 rod thread, and the U flat-end back cover. You must also swap the CS1-M / DS1-M sensors for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches. Maintain a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure to overcome the internal spring. The fail-safe home is EXTENDED, so apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke.
If sizing force, the 32mm bore neighbor provides 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while no larger standard bore exists in this mini series. This 40mm bore yields 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa. For a 75mm stroke, ensure your mounting handles rod extension without side-load bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SU (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75SU FAQ
Yes, the MTAL40X75SU is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL40X75SU, matching the 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/4 port, and U back cover. You will need to upgrade your CS1-M / DS1-M sensors to the CMSG / DMSG / EMSG family, and the body changes from threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed design.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder, so air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. 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 rod pushes out on air loss, so never apply an external load on the spring-extend stroke.
