This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBL40X220SCA, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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 MAL40X220SCA (Discontinued) → MBL40X220SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 220mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBL40X220SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X220SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder, delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. It features a 40 mm bore, a 220 mm stroke, and a CA pivot back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing loads. The direct replacement is the MBL40X220SCA, matching the original force, G1/4 port, and mounting footprint.
This legacy unit utilizes a threaded front and back cover design, whereas the current MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The -S magnet on this SKU functions with older CS1-M / DS1-M switches, but upgrading to the MBL requires migrating to current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The carbon-steel rod has a 20 um hard chrome plating, guided by a self-lubricating front-cover bearing.

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X220SCA produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| 40 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×220 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional magnet for a CS1-M / DS1-M sensor (MBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG). |

Replacement mapping: MAL → MBL, MSAL → MSBL, MTAL → MTBL, MALD → MBLD, MALJ → MBLJ.
Handles 220 mm stroke to fold cardboard flaps, utilizing the 628 N push force to square heavy corrugated blanks before sealing.
The CA pivot back cover accommodates slight arcing rod movement, protecting the 16 mm chrome rod while guiding yarn carriers.
Pushes lightweight product diverters at 0.7 MPa (880 N), with the -S magnet confirming retraction for the PLC sequence.
To replace the MAL40X220SCA, order the MBL40X220SCA and verify your CA pivot pin and G1/4 pneumatic fittings. Because this is a 220 mm stroke, the 16 mm rod requires external guidance to prevent bending under side loads. If you need to step down, the 32 mm bore yields 402 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up is not possible as 40 mm is the largest MAL mini round size. Note the fixed rubber bumper cannot hold a load if air pressure drops—use an external rod lock for safety. If end-of-stroke impact is too loud, step up to the MBLC for an adjustable air cushion.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X220SCA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBL40X220SCA, offering the same 40 mm bore, 220 mm stroke, CA pivot mount, and G1/4 port. Note that your existing CS1-M or DS1-M sensors must be replaced with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches on the new MBL unit.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 628 N and the pull force is 528 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 880 N. The maximum theoretical force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The cylinder operates at 30-800 mm/s with a fixed rubber bumper.
