This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80CM 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 MTAL40X80CM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X80CM 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80CM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X80CM
The AirTAC MTAL40X80CM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 40mm bore and 80mm stroke. Air retracts the rod while an internal spring extends it, providing a fail-safe extended home position. It delivers a usable pull force of 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X80CM, matching the bore, stroke, G1/4 port, and CM mounting.
This MTAL40X80CM variant features a CM round-end back cover and a PT tapered port thread. It lacks the -S magnet option, meaning it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MTAL uses threaded covers and older CS1-M/DS1-M switches; the MTBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the self-lubricating front-cover guide supports the 16mm hard-chrome carbon-steel rod.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X80CM Technical Specifications

| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80CM 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 MTAL40X80CM Is Used
Packaging Lid Pullers
Draws back heavy cardboard carton sealing lids using 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa, relying on the spring-extend fail-safe to clear the packaging line during an air loss shutdown.
Injection Mold Ejector
Retracts a secondary mold ejector pin via the 16mm rod, using the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the 80mm stroke impact without damaging the tooling plate.
Safety Gate Latches
Pulls a heavy industrial safety gate latch closed, ensuring the mechanism parks in the extended open position to allow safe operator access when pneumatic power is removed.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X80CM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80CM
To replace the MTAL40X80CM with the MTBL40X80CM, verify your 40mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and CM round-end back cover. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot hold a sensor; if you need position feedback on the MTBL, you must add the -S option to use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure and apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke, as the fail-safe home is extended.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 32mm bore yields a 261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is not available as 40mm is the largest in this mini series. The 40mm bore provides 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa, giving robust power for heavy pulling tasks.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80CM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X80CM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL40X80CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X80CM, matching the 40mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CM back cover. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors if you add the -S magnet option.
This single-acting pull cylinder provides a usable pull force of 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa. It operates between 0.2 and 1.0 MPa pressure, runs at 50-800 mm/s, and uses a fixed rubber bumper. The fail-safe home position is extended, meaning the internal spring pushes the rod out when air is released.
