This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MTAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MTBL40X80SCM, 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 MTAL40X80SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X80SCM 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 direct replacement is the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80SCM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X80SCM
The AirTAC MTAL40X80SCM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with an 80mm stroke. Air retracts the rod to do the work, while an internal spring extends it back out. This 40mm bore model delivers a usable pull force of 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa. Its fail-safe home position is extended, meaning on air loss the spring pushes the rod back out.
The direct replacement is the MTBL40X80SCM. It matches the 40mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/4 port, M12x1.25 rod thread, CM round-end cover, and magnet. The MTAL uses threaded covers and a -S magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M switches. The MTBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. Both use a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke cushioning.

| 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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80SCM 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 MTAL40X80SCM Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Pulls a mold ejector pin back against 439.4 N of resistance at 0.5 MPa during mold open cycles, using the spring-extend fail-safe to safely park the pin out.
Packaging Tension Draw
Draws back a film tensioning arm on a 80mm stroke in packaging machinery, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the shock of the pull stop.
Safety Gate Latch
Retracts a heavy machine safety latch to allow access, where the spring-extended home position keeps the gate physically locked during an air loss event.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X80SCM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80SCM
To replace this MTAL40X80SCM with the MTBL40X80SCM, verify your 40mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/4 PT port, and CM round-end back cover. Confirm your mounting hardware and note the sensor family change from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Operating pressure must be at least 0.2 MPa. Never apply an external load on the spring-extend stroke, as the fail-safe extended home is a rest, not a lock.
If sizing up or down, the next size down is the 32mm bore (261.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa), and the next size up is beyond this 40mm mini range. At 80mm stroke, closely check side-load and rod-bending forces to prevent guide wear.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80SCM (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 AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X80SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X80SCM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL40X80SCM is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MTBL40X80SCM, which matches the 40mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/4 port, CM cover, and magnet. You only need to update your sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
It is a single-acting pull cylinder, so air retracts the rod and the spring extends it. The fail-safe home is extended. The usable pull force is 439.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 650.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The maximum push force is 1256.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 1759.2 N at 0.7 MPa, equating to roughly 179.4 kgf.
