This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75U — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75U 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 MTAL40X75U
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75U 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75U.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75U
The AirTAC MTAL40X75U is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 75 mm stroke. Air retracts the rod, while an internal spring extends it. The drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X75U, which matches the force, G1/4 port, and U back cover. This 40 mm bore generates a usable pull force of 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa.
This MTAL40X75U variant has no -S magnet and cannot accept a position sensor. The MTAL uses threaded covers, whereas the MTBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. The cylinder uses a fixed rubber bumper and a hard-chrome carbon-steel rod. 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 MTAL40X75U Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75U |

| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75U |
| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75U 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 MTAL40X75U Is Used
Injection Mold Ejector
Pulls an ejector pin back inside a 40 mm mold base against 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa, using the spring-extend fail-safe to safely push the pin out when shop air drops.
Packaging Flap Tensioner
Draws back a cardboard flap tensioning arm on a corrugated box sealer, relying on the 650.4 N pull force at 0.7 MPa to overcome carton stiffness.
Pneumatic Drawer Latch
Retracts a heavy-duty sliding drawer latch on a CNC tool changer, allowing the internal spring to extend the rod and lock the drawer automatically on air loss.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75U with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75U
To replace this MTAL40X75U with the MTBL40X75U, confirm the 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and U flat-end back cover. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot take a sensor; if you need position detection on the MTBL, add the S suffix and switch from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the new CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure and the fail-safe extended home.
If sizing this 40 mm bore, step down to the 32 mm bore for a lighter pull of 261.2 N at 0.5 MPa. Step up is unavailable as 40 mm is the largest MTAL size. The 75 mm stroke is standard, but keep the rod protected from side-loads to prevent bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75U (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75U instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75U FAQ
Yes, the MTAL40X75U is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X75U, matching the 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and U back cover. You will move from threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body.
The usable pull force is 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa, with a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa. It is a single-acting pull cylinder, meaning air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. The fail-safe home is extended, so the rod pushes out on air loss.
