This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X110U — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X110U 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 MAL40X110U (Discontinued) → MBL40X110U 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 MBL40X110U, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X110U is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 110 mm stroke. It delivers 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X110U, matching the force, G1/4 port, and U flat-end rear cover. This legacy unit features a PT tapered port thread and a fixed rubber bumper.
This SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot accept a position sensor. Upgrading to the MBL replaces the MAL's threaded front and back covers with a riveted rolling-packed body. The original carbon-steel rod has 20 um hard-chrome plating, guided by a self-lubricating front-cover bearing and a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining seal.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X110U 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 MBL40X110U 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.

Shifts lightweight aluminum pallets on a packaging line using 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, with the 110 mm stroke providing full gate clearance.
Ejects small sheet metal brackets from a die using 528 N of pull force, relying on the rigid U flat-end back cover to withstand axial impact.
Folds corrugated carton flaps at 880 N push under 0.7 MPa, where the fixed rubber bumper absorbs the repeated shock of rapid cycling.
To replace the MAL40X110U, order the MBL40X110U. Confirm the 40 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and the rigid U flat-end back cover. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support a sensor; if you need position detection, step up to an MBL40X110US and migrate to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switch family (the legacy CS1-M and DS1-M sensors are obsolete).
If sizing down, the 32 mm bore neighbor provides 402 N push at 0.5 MPa; sizing up is not possible as 40 mm is the largest MAL mini round body. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts, but for adjustable air cushioning you must specify the current MBLC series. Since the stroke is 110 mm, the 16 mm rod handles moderate side loads, but external guiding is recommended for heavy off-center loads. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for held loads.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X110U is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X110U, which matches the 40 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, 628 N push force, G1/4 port, and U flat-end mounting. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design instead of threaded covers.
The 40 mm bore delivers a push force of 628 N and a pull force of 528 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 880 N. The maximum theoretical force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
