This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X110SU — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X110SU 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 MAL40X110SU (Discontinued) -> MBL40X110SU 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 MBL40X110SU, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X110SU is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and 110mm stroke. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a G1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod thread. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X110SU, which matches the original force, port, stroke, and U flat-end rear cover for a seamless swap.
This legacy unit uses a threaded front and back cover design, whereas the current MBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. The built-in -S magnet on this MAL works with older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches, but if you migrate to the MBL, you must update to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family. The cylinder relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts and uses a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease for long service life.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X110SU carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X110SU 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). |
| ×110 | Stroke length in mm. |

Replacement mapping: MAL → MBL, MSAL → MSBL, MTAL → MTBL, MALD → MBLD, MALJ → MBLJ.
Uses the 628N push force at 0.5 MPa to deflect filled plastic bottles on a packaging conveyor into a labeling station.
Extends 110mm to swing a metal scrap chute open on a CNC turning center, relying on the rigid U flat-end cover for stable mounting.
Drives a mechanical arm to fold heavy cardboard flaps on a case packing machine, benefiting from the self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide.
To replace the MAL40X110SU, order the MBL40X110SU and verify your 40mm bore, 110mm stroke, G1/4 port, and U flat-end back cover. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, plan to swap your existing CS1-M or DS1-M sensors for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches on the new MBL body. If you need adjustable air cushioning instead of the fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold a load if air pressure drops; use an external rod lock for vertical holding.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 32mm bore yields 402N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the larger 50mm profile cylinder provides significantly higher force. The 110mm stroke is moderate, but the 16mm carbon-steel rod still requires attention to side loads; use a pivot mount or external guide to prevent rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X110SU is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X110SU, which offers the same 40mm bore, 110mm stroke, G1/4 port, and U flat-end back cover. You must update your sensors, as the MBL uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M or DS1-M models.
The 40mm bore provides a push force of 628N and a pull force of 528N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 880N. The maximum theoretical force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
