This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X200-CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X200-CA 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 MAL40X200-CA (Discontinued) → MBL40X200-CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 200mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X200-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X200-CA is a discontinued 40mm bore, 200mm stroke double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, peaking at 128kgf. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X200-CA, matching the bore, stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting.
This legacy unit features a CA pivot clevis back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads. It has a fixed rubber bumper and lacks a magnet, meaning it cannot accept any position sensor. The newer MBL upgrades the threaded end covers to a riveted rolling-packed body for greater structural integrity.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X200-CA carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X200-CA 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.

Replacement mapping: MAL → MBL, MSAL → MSBL, MTAL → MTBL, MALD → MBLD, MALJ → MBLJ.
Provides 628N of push force at 0.5MPa to eject small plastic parts from tight mold spaces, utilizing the 200mm travel to clear the tooling entirely.
Swings a diverter gate on a packaging line; the CA pivot clevis accommodates the arcing motion needed to redirect small cartons smoothly.
Actuates a routing flap at 0.7MPa (880N push) to push parcels into specific sorting chutes, with the fixed rubber bumper absorbing the impact at end of stroke.
To replace the MAL40X200-CA, order the MBL40X200-CA to retain the 40mm bore, 200mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and CA pivot mount. Because this SKU lacks an -S magnet, it cannot track rod position; if you need sensing, step up to an MBL40X200-S-CA and switch from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family. If you need adjustable end-cushioning, specify the MBLC series.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 32mm bore yields 402N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up is not an option as 40mm is the largest MAL mini-round size. At 200mm stroke, the 16mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; rely on the CA pivot to absorb misalignment or add an external guide. Note that a plain MBL drifts when air is lost—the bumper only softens the stroke end, so use a rod lock for position holding.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X200-CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X200-CA, offering the same 40mm bore, 200mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mount. The MBL upgrades the threaded body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
At 0.5MPa it provides 628N push and 528N pull; at 0.7MPa it provides 880N push, with a maximum theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. This specific SKU lacks an -S magnet, so it cannot accept CS1-M or DS1-M position sensors.
