This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X200SUH — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X200SUH 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 MAL40X200SUH (Discontinued) -> MBL40X200SUH 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 MBL40X200SUH, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X200SUH is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. As the largest bore in the legacy MAL range, it delivers a robust 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 880 N push at 0.7 MPa. It features a 200 mm stroke, a Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 µm hard chrome plating, and a G1/4 port. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X200SUH, matching the bore, stroke, force, and mounting interface.
This SKU includes the U flat-end back cover for rigid rear mounting and a built-in -S magnet for position sensing. The legacy MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Furthermore, the MAL -S magnet interfaces with older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches; upgrading to the MBL40X200SUH requires the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family. The cylinder relies on a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.

The MBL40X200SUH 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.

Actuates a 200 mm diverter gate on a packaging conveyor, utilizing the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa to reliably redirect heavy cartons without stalling.
Slides a heavy machine tool safety door open and closed. The U flat-end back cover provides rigid rear mounting, while the -S magnet confirms door closure for the interlock.
Pushes completed metal parts out of a stacking chute. The 880 N thrust at 0.7 MPa easily overcomes part weight and friction in a tight fabrication cell.
To replace the MAL40X200SUH, order the MBL40X200SUH. Verify your setup handles the G1/4 port, M12x1.25 rod-end thread, and U flat-end back cover. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, plan to swap your old CS1-M or DS1-M switches for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the new MBL body. If your application requires an adjustable air cushion instead of the standard fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC40X200SUH variant on the current line.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down one bore to the 32 mm neighbor yields 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is impossible as 40 mm is the maximum MAL bore. At 200 mm stroke, the 16 mm rod is susceptible to bending under off-center loads; use a CA or SDB pivot mount, or an external guide rail to prevent rod damage. A plain MBL does not hold a load when air is lost, so deploy an external rod lock for vertical or safety-critical holding.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X200SUH is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X200SUH, which matches the 40 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and U flat-end mounting. The MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the older threaded covers. You must also upgrade your position sensors, as the -S magnet on the MBL works with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches rather than the legacy CS1-M or DS1-M reeds.
The MAL40X200SUH generates 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 880 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts and does not have an adjustable air cushion. If adjustable cushioning is required, you must use the current-line MBLC40X200SUH variant.
