This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X350-S-CM-LB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X350-S-CM-LB 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 MAL40X350-S-CM-LB (Discontinued) -> MBL40X350-S-CM-LB is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 350mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X350-S-CM-LB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X350-S-CM-LB is a discontinued double-acting compact aluminum mini round cylinder. It features a 40mm bore and 350mm stroke, delivering 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X350-S-CM-LB, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/4 port, and LB mounting. The legacy MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body for equal ratings.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing; the original MAL works with older CS1-M / DS1-M switches, but the MBL replacement requires current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The CM round-end back cover and LB foot mounting provide rigid anchoring. A heterogeneous two-way seal retains grease, and the carbon-steel rod has 20um hard chrome plating for wear resistance.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X350-S-CM-LB 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 MBL40X350-S-CM-LB 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.
Drives heavy sliding machine tool enclosure doors. The 880N push at 0.7MPa easily overcomes door weight and friction, while the LB foot mount handles the rigid anchoring.
Extends a diverter mechanism across a 350mm conveyor lane. The CM round-end back cover allows slight pivot play to avoid binding, and the magnet enables stroke confirmation.
Folds large corrugated box flaps in continuous packaging lines. The 628N force at 0.5MPa secures heavy cardboard, and the self-lubricating bearing guide ensures smooth operation.
To replace the MAL40X350-S-CM-LB, order the MBL40X350-S-CM-LB. Verify your setup accommodates the G1/4 port, M12x1.25 rod-end thread, CM round-end back cover, and LB foot mounting. Because this SKU has the -S magnet, you must also upgrade your switches: the older CS1-M / DS1-M sensors will not fit the MBL, so select CMSG / DMSG / EMSG equivalents. The MAL uses a fixed rubber bumper; if your application needs an adjustable air cushion, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line.
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 bore. At 350mm stroke, the 16mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; use an external guide rail to prevent premature seal failure. A plain cylinder does not hold its position when air is lost, so deploy an external rod lock for suspended loads.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X350-S-CM-LB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X350-S-CM-LB, offering the same 40mm bore, 350mm stroke, 628N push force, G1/4 port, and LB mounting. You must upgrade your sensors from the old CS1-M / DS1-M to the new CMSG / DMSG / EMSG family.
The 40mm bore delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 880N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. It uses a G1/4 port, a 16mm rod, and an M12x1.25 rod-end thread.
