This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X150CMH — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X150CMH 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 MAL40X150CMH (Discontinued) -> MBL40X150CMH is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 150mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X150CMH, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X150CMH is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and 150mm stroke. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, utilizing a G1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod-end thread. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X150CMH, matching the bore, stroke, output force, port, and mounting. The legacy MAL uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body for equivalent ratings.
This specific SKU includes a CM round-end back cover and a PT tapered port thread. Because it lacks the -S code, it has no internal magnet and cannot accept a position sensor. The piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, paired with a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled strictly by a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X150CMH 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 MBL40X150CMH 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). |
| ×150 | Stroke length in mm. |

Replacement mapping: MAL → MBL, MSAL → MSBL, MTAL → MTBL, MALD → MBLD, MALJ → MBLJ.
Provides 628N of push at 0.5MPa to reliably fold heavy corrugated cardboard flaps on packaging lines.
Ejects small metal stamped parts from a press die using 528N of pull force across the 150mm stroke.
Pushes lightweight pallets sideways at sorting junctions where the CM round-end allows slight angular misalignment.
To replace the MAL40X150CMH, order the MBL40X150CMH, ensuring you keep the CM round-end back cover and PT port thread. If you need to downsize, the 32mm bore neighbor provides 402N push at 0.5MPa; if you need more force, you must step outside this mini series to a larger profile cylinder. Since this unit lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support any sensor. If you previously relied on a magnet elsewhere, note that the MBL -S uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M. The fixed rubber bumper cannot be adjusted; if your application requires precise end-of-stroke damping, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so use an external rod lock for load holding. At 150mm stroke, the 16mm rod is moderately exposed; use a pivot mount or external guide to manage side loads.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X150CMH is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X150CMH, offering the same 40mm bore, 150mm stroke, 628N push force, G1/4 port, and CM round-end mounting. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
At 0.5MPa it provides 628N push and 528N pull; at 0.7MPa push is 880N, with a maximum theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept position sensors like the CS1-M or DS1-M.
