This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80CA 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 MTAL40X80CA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X80CA is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 80mm 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80CA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X80CA
The AirTAC MTAL40X80CA is a discontinued single-acting pull mini cylinder with a 40mm bore and 80mm stroke. Air retracts the rod for the work stroke, while an internal spring extends it when air is released. The fail-safe home position is extended. It delivers a usable pull force of 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X80CA, matching the bore, stroke, force, and G1/4 port.
This CA variant features a back cover pivot clevis that swings on a pin to absorb arcing loads. It has a fixed rubber bumper and threaded covers, whereas the MTBL upgrade uses a riveted rolling-packed body. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor; the MTBL upgrade requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches for sensing.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X80CA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X80CA |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80CA |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 80 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80CA 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 MTAL40X80CA Is Used
Press Tray Withdrawal
Pulls a heavy die-cast tray out of a 650.4 N press bed at 0.7 MPa. The pivot clevis absorbs angular misalignment during the extraction arc.
Pneumatic Latch Retraction
Releases a 439.4 N holding latch at 0.5 MPa to open heavy blast doors. The spring-extended fail-safe ensures the latch locks shut automatically on air loss.
Welding Clamp Pullback
Draws a 40mm bore copper welding arm back from a hot spot. The fixed rubber bumper stops the rod cleanly without adjustable cushioning.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X80CA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80CA
To replace this MTAL40X80CA, order the MTBL40X80CA. Confirm the 40mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and CA pivot clevis. The MTBL matches these specs exactly. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure and apply no external load on the spring extend stroke. The fail-safe home remains extended.
If sizing down, the 32mm bore neighbor offers 261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If stepping up, the 40mm is the largest standard MAL bore, so you must move to a larger ISO series for more force. At 80mm stroke (under the 100mm max), side-load and rod-bending risks are moderate, but ensure rigid guiding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80CA (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X80CA FAQ
Yes, the MTAL40X80CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X80CA, which matches the 40mm bore, 80mm stroke, CA pivot clevis, and G1/4 port.
It delivers a usable pull force of 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; on air loss, the spring pushes the rod out, but this is a rest, not a lock, so use an external device for a held load.
