This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X110SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X110SCA 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 MAL40X110SCA (Discontinued) → MBL40X110SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 110mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X110SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X110SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and 110mm stroke. It delivers 628N of push force at 0.5MPa and features a G1/4 port with a 16mm carbon-steel rod. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X110SCA, matching the bore, stroke, output force, and CA pivot mounting exactly.
This legacy SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing and a CA pivot back cover designed for arcing loads. The older MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body for equal structural integrity. Additionally, the -S magnet on this MAL works with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while upgrading to the MBL requires transitioning to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X110SCA carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X110SCA 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.

Uses the 880N push force at 0.7MPa to knock stamped metal blanks out of a die, with the CA pivot absorbing the slight angular misalignment of the ejection arm.
Swings a diverter gate on a packaging line, where the 110mm stroke provides enough travel to redirect parcels and the G1/4 port supplies the necessary air volume for rapid cycling.
Acts as a raising and lowering stop block for pallets on a gravity roller conveyor, relying on the 628N push force at 0.5MPa to halt forward momentum securely.
To replace the MAL40X110SCA, order the MBL40X110SCA. Confirm your 40mm bore, 110mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA pivot back cover, and -S magnet requirement before ordering. Because this is a 110mm stroke, side-load tolerance is a concern; the CA clevis mounting absorbs arcing rod movements, but you must ensure the pivot pin is aligned to prevent binding. If your application requires adjustable cushioning to soften end-of-stroke impacts, step up to the MBLC series, as the MAL only offers a fixed rubber bumper.
If you need to size the bore up or down, the next size down is the 32mm bore (providing 402N push at 0.5MPa), and the next size up is the 50mm bore (available in the standard MBL line). Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold its load when air pressure is lost; the rod will drift. For vertical loads, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X110SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X110SCA, which matches the 40mm bore, 110mm stroke, 880N push force, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. The MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers, and if you use the -S magnet, you must upgrade from the old CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
At 0.5MPa, it provides 628N push and 528N pull. At 0.7MPa, the push force is 880N, with a maximum theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it supports position sensing via CS1-M or DS1-M switches on the MAL, though the MBL replacement requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
