This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X190SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X190SCA 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 MAL40X190SCA (Discontinued) -> MBL40X190SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 190mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X190SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X190SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and 190mm stroke. It delivers a robust 628N push and 528N pull force at 0.5MPa, utilizing a G1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod-end thread. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X190SCA, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, port size, and CA pivot mounting.
This legacy unit features a CA pivot clevis back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads, while its threaded front and back covers differ from the riveted rolling-packed body of the modern MBL40X190SCA. The built-in -S magnet on this MAL works with older CS1-M / DS1-M switches, whereas upgrading to the MBL requires the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensor family. The cylinder relies on a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion, and its heterogeneous two-way seal retains grease around the 20um hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod.

The MBL40X190SCA 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 the hinged folding arms on a corrugated box sealer, using the 628N push force at 0.5MPa to crease heavy cardboard flaps cleanly.
Swings a sorting diverter arm on a parcel conveyor via the CA pivot back cover, allowing the 190mm stroke to clear the belt lane for package routing.
Pushes an ink-stamp mechanism onto wooden pallet ends, where the self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide supports the 16mm rod during repeated rapid contact.
To replace the MAL40X190SCA, order the MBL40X190SCA. Verify your setup's PT threaded G1/4 port, the 190mm stroke, and the CA pivot back cover. Because the -S magnet is present, remember the MBL upgrade shifts sensor compatibility from the legacy CS1-M / DS1-M to the modern CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches. The fixed rubber bumper cannot be tuned; if end-of-stroke shock becomes an issue, step up to the current MBLC for an adjustable air cushion.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 32mm bore yields 402N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up is not possible as 40mm is the largest mini round size available. At 190mm stroke, the 16mm rod is moderately exposed, so ensure the CA clevis can articulate freely to prevent rod bending. Note that a plain MBL does not hold its load when air is lost; the rod will drift, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position holding is required.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X190SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X190SCA, which shares the same 40mm bore, 190mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and requires CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors instead of the older CS1-M / DS1-M switches used by the MAL -S magnet.
The MAL40X190SCA operates at 0.1-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s. At 0.5MPa it provides 628N push and 528N pull force; at 0.7MPa it provides 880N push. The maximum theoretical force is 128 kgf at 1.0MPa.
