This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X200SCASDB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X200SCASDB 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 MAL40X200SCASDB (Legacy) -> MBL40X200SCASDB 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 MBL40X200SCASDB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X200SCASDB is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and 200mm stroke. It delivers 628N of push force and 528N of pull force at 0.5MPa, operating with a G1/4 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL40X200SCASDB, a drop-in alternative retaining the exact same bore, stroke, output force, port size, and SDB pivot mounting accessory.
This SKU includes a CA pivot clevis back cover and an SDB pivot bracket designed to absorb arcing rod movements. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this configuration includes the -S magnet, it originally paired with CS1-M or DS1-M switches; upgrading to the MBL requires switching to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family.

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X200SCASDB 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 pivoting arm to fold heavy cardboard carton flaps, utilizing the 628N push force and SDB bracket to accommodate the sweeping arc of the mechanism.
Actuates a routing gate on a conveyor line, where the CA clevis allows the cylinder to swing freely while pushing 880N loads at 0.7MPa.
Pushes small metal parts out of a die using the 200mm stroke, relying on the self-lubricating bearing guide to maintain alignment in tight machine cells.
To replace this MAL40X200SCASDB, order the MBL40X200SCASDB. Verify your 40mm bore, 200mm stroke, G1/4 port, and PT thread form are retained. The CA clevis and SDB pivot bracket are crucial for applications with arcing loads, so ensure the new MBL keeps this exact mounting geometry. If you need to step down force, the neighboring 32mm bore provides 402N push at 0.5MPa; if you need more power, note that 40mm is the largest MAL mini round body available. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts but is not an adjustable cushion; for deceleration control, look at the current MBLC line. A plain cylinder does not hold position if air pressure drops, so add an external rod lock for suspended loads.
At 200mm of stroke, the 16mm carbon-steel rod is susceptible to bending under lateral stress. Rely on the CA pivot and SDB bracket to articulate, or install an external guide rail to prevent side-load damage.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X200SCASDB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X200SCASDB, which matches the 40mm bore, 200mm stroke, G1/4 port, CA clevis, and SDB pivot bracket. Note that the MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers, and if you use the -S magnet, you must upgrade from the old CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG series.
At 0.5MPa, the push force is 628N and the pull force is 528N. At 0.7MPa, the push force increases to 880N. The maximum theoretical force is 128kgf at 1.0MPa.
