This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X1100SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X1100SCA 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 MAL40X1100SCA (Discontinued) -> MBL40X1100SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 1100mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X1100SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X1100SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and 1100mm made-to-order stroke. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5 MPa using a G1/4 port. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X1100SCA, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and CA pivot mounting.
This legacy unit features a 16mm carbon-steel rod with 20um hard chrome plating and a grease-retaining two-way seal. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this 1100mm stroke far exceeds the 500mm standard, the fixed rubber bumper cannot absorb the massive kinetic energy alone, making an external guide carriage essential to prevent rod bending.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X1100SCA carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.

The MBL40X1100SCA 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.

Drives the swinging tenter frame on a textile loom using the CA pivot bracket, leveraging the 880N push at 0.7 MPa to stretch heavy fabric webs over a 1100mm span.
Pushes loaded pallets between roller conveyor sections, where the 16mm hard-chrome rod and 628N force at 0.5 MPa provide reliable horizontal actuation over a long 1100mm travel distance.
Raises and lowers multi-tier storage trays in compact automated retrieval systems, using the double-acting cycle to overcome gravity on the upstroke and safely lower the load.
To replace the MAL40X1100SCA, order the MBL40X1100SCA. Verify your PT thread, G1/4 port, and CA pivot back cover. The -S magnet on your old unit worked with CS1-M/DS1-M switches; the MBL requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. If you need an adjustable air cushion to handle the heavy impact of a 1100mm stroke, step up to the MBLC equivalent. For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 32mm bore yields 402N push at 0.5 MPa, while 40mm is the largest available mini round size offering 880N push at 0.7 MPa. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so use a pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X1100SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X1100SCA, which matches the 40mm bore, 1100mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M switches.
The 40mm bore provides 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5 MPa, 880N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion. For a 1100mm non-standard stroke, the impact energy is very high, so an external guide is required to prevent rod bending.
