This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X10SU — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X10SU 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 MAL40X10SU (Discontinued) -> MBL40X10SU 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 MBL40X10SU, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X10SU is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and 10mm stroke. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, utilizing a G1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod-end thread. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X10SU, matching the original force, port, and U flat-end back cover for a seamless swap.
This legacy unit features a fixed rubber bumper and a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it originally paired with CS1-M or DS1-M switches; upgrading to the MBL means transitioning to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X10SU carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X10SU 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.
| MAL | Aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 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.
Short 10mm stroke delivers 628N push at 0.5MPa to eject small plastic parts from tight mold cavities without overtravel.
Compact U flat-end body fits in tight packaging machine frames, providing 528N pull to fold minor flaps before sealing.
Rapid 10mm actuation on a conveyor diverter provides positive routing of small parcels using 880N at 0.7MPa.
To replace the MAL40X10SU, order the MBL40X10SU, confirming the 40mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and U flat-end back cover. The -S magnet requires a sensor update from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the new CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. If your application needs adjustable cushioning rather than a fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC series. If you need to size down, the 32mm bore offers 402N push at 0.5MPa; if you need more force, note that 40mm is the largest available MAL/MBL mini round bore. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for position holding.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X10SU is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X10SU, which matches the 40mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/4 port, and U flat-end mounting. You will need to update your sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
The 40mm bore provides 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 880N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0MPa.
