This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X10CMLB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X10CMLB in place of this model. The MBL replacement upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensor switches (the MAL used CS1-M / DS1-M).
The AirTAC AirTAC MAL40X10CMLB (Discontinued) -> MBL40X10CMLB is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 10mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X10CMLB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X10CMLB is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and a 10mm stroke. It delivers 628N of push force and 528N of pull force at 0.5MPa, making it the highest thrust class within the MAL series. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL40X10CMLB, a drop-in alternative that preserves the exact bore, stroke, output force, G1/4 port, and LB foot mounting pattern for seamless integration.
This specific SKU includes a CM round-end back cover and a default PT tapered thread. Because it lacks the -S magnet option, this cylinder cannot accept a position sensor. The original MAL body utilized threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Both generations rely on a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration; if your application requires adjustable air cushioning, you must step up to the current MBLC variant.

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X10CMLB produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| 40 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×10 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional magnet for a CS1-M / DS1-M sensor (MBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG). |
| CA / U / CM | Back cover: CA pivot, U flat-end or CM round-end. |
Replacement mapping: MAL → MBL, MSAL → MSBL, MTAL → MTBL, MALD → MBLD, MALJ → MBLJ.
Uses the 880N push force at 0.7MPa to kick small metal blanks out of a stamping die in a confined machinery footprint.
Leverages the 10mm short stroke and LB foot bracket to actuate a heavy-duty diverter arm for redirecting dense cartons on a packing line.
Applies 628N at 0.5MPa to crimp wire terminals into plastic connector blocks during automated electronics assembly.
To replace the MAL40X10CMLB, order the MBL40X10CMLB and verify your 40mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/4 port, and LB foot mounting hardware. Confirm the default PT thread form matches your fittings. Since this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support a sensor; if you need position detection, order an MBL40X10S variant and note that the modern MBL uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M family. If you need to step down, the 32mm bore provides 402N push at 0.5MPa; stepping up is not possible as 40mm is the largest MAL size. The fixed rubber bumper is not a lock, so fit an external rod lock if you must hold a load during air loss.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X10CMLB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X10CMLB, which matches the 40mm bore, 10mm stroke, 628N force, G1/4 port, and LB foot mount. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design but retains full functional compatibility.
The 40mm bore generates a push force of 628N and a pull force of 528N at 0.5MPa. At 0.7MPa, the push force is 880N. The maximum theoretical force is 128kgf at 1.0MPa. It uses a 16mm carbon-steel rod with a fixed rubber bumper.
