This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X200-S-CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X200-S-CM 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-S-CM (Discontinued) -> MBL40X200-S-CM 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-S-CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X200-S-CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and 200mm stroke. It delivers a robust 628N push force at 0.5MPa, utilizing a G1/4 port and a 16mm carbon-steel rod with hard-chrome plating. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X200-S-CM, matching the bore, stroke, output force, port, and mounting footprint perfectly.
This legacy unit includes a -S magnet for position sensing and a CM round-end back cover. The older MAL body relies on threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, the -S magnet on this MAL originally pairs with CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBL successor transitions to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families. The piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, and a self-lubricating bearing guide in the front cover minimizes friction.

The MBL40X200-S-CM 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.

Pushes heavy cartons at 628N push force on a 200mm stroke, using the CM round-end to articulate smoothly and absorb side-load during high-speed sorting.
Opens and closes heavy machine tool safety doors, relying on the G1/4 port for rapid actuation and the 16mm hard-chrome rod to resist workshop debris.
Halts loaded pallets on a roller line, utilizing the 880N push force at 0.7MPa to securely block heavy product flow before the wrapping station.
To replace the MAL40X200-S-CM, order the MBL40X200-S-CM, ensuring you retain the CM round-end back cover and the -S magnet. Remember that upgrading to the MBL means your CS1-M or DS1-M sensors must be swapped for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The port thread form is PT by default. If you need to step down, the 32mm bore offers 402N push at 0.5MPa; if you need more power, note that 40mm is the largest MAL bore available, so exceeding 628N requires migrating to an entirely different ISO profile cylinder family. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts, but if your application requires adjustable cushioning, you must specify the MBLC variant on the current line. Because this is a 200mm stroke, the 16mm rod is susceptible to bending under lateral loads—use the CM round-end with a clevis joint for arcing movements or add an external guide. A plain cylinder does not hold position when air is lost; install a pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X200-S-CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X200-S-CM, which matches the 40mm bore, 200mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CM round-end mounting. The MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers, and you must upgrade your CS1-M or DS1-M sensors to the CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG series.
The 40mm bore generates a push force of 628N and a pull force of 528N at 0.5MPa. At 0.7MPa, the push force increases to 880N. The maximum theoretical force is 128kgf at 1.0MPa operating pressure.
