This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X1400SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X1400SCA 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 MAL40X1400SCA (Discontinued) -> MBL40X1400SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 1400mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X1400SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X1400SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and a 1400mm non-standard stroke. Built for high-force compact actuation, it delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, utilizing a G1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod-end thread. Because this stroke exceeds the 500mm standard maximum, it was manufactured as a made-to-order item. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X1400SCA, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and CA pivot mounting exactly.
This legacy unit features a CA pivot clevis back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads, which is essential for a 1400mm stroke. The original MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, the -S magnet on this MAL works with older CS1-M or DS1-M switches; upgrading to the MBL requires switching to current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X1400SCA 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 a 1400mm pivot arm to divert heavy pallets on a packaging line, utilizing the 628N push force at 0.5MPa and the CA clevis to accommodate the sweeping arc.
Raises and lowers heavy fabric beams into a weaving loom, where the 880N push at 0.7MPa handles the load and the long 1400mm stroke provides the necessary vertical travel.
Pushes loaded inventory trays across a sorting station, relying on the 40mm bore's 128kgf maximum force and the CA pivot to self-align during the extended push cycle.
To replace the MAL40X1400SCA, order the MBL40X1400SCA. Confirm the 40mm bore, 1400mm non-standard stroke, G1/4 port, and PT tapered thread. The CA pivot back cover must be retained to manage arcing side-loads on this long 1400mm rod. If you need to step down, the 32mm bore neighbor provides 402N push at 0.5MPa; stepping up is not possible as 40mm is the largest in this mini series. At 1400mm, the 16mm rod is highly susceptible to bending, so an external guide rail is mandatory. The MAL uses a fixed rubber bumper; if end-of-stroke cushioning is required, step up to the MBLC. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for position holding. Finally, the -S magnet maps to CS1-M/DS1-M on the MAL but requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on the MBL.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X1400SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X1400SCA, which matches the 40mm bore, 1400mm stroke, CA pivot mounting, G1/4 port, and force output. You must update your sensors, as the MAL -S magnet uses CS1-M/DS1-M switches while the MBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The 40mm bore cylinder has a 16mm carbon-steel rod with an M12x1.25 thread. At 0.5MPa it provides 628N push and 528N pull; at 0.7MPa it provides 880N push. The maximum theoretical force is 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The 1400mm stroke is non-standard and exceeds the 500mm standard limit.
