This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBL40X35SCA, 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 AirTAC MAL40X35SCA (Discontinued) -> MBL40X35SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 35mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBL40X35SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X35SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and 35mm stroke. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, peaking at 880N push at 0.7MPa. The direct replacement is the MBL40X35SCA, which matches the bore, stroke, output force, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting exactly.
This legacy unit features a 16mm carbon-steel rod with 20um hard chrome plating and a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide. The older MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body for greater structural integrity. Because this SKU 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 families.

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X35SCA produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Replacement mapping: MAL → MBL, MSAL → MSBL, MTAL → MTBL, MALD → MBLD, MALJ → MBLJ.
Provides 628N of push at 0.5MPa to eject small plastic parts from tight mold spaces, using the CA pivot to handle slight angular misalignment.
Actuates a short 35mm stroke to push raw bar stock into the collet, leveraging the 16mm hard-chrome rod for abrasion resistance.
Folds minor carton flaps at high speed where the 880N thrust at 0.7MPa easily overcomes cardboard stiffness in a compact footprint.
To replace the MAL40X35SCA, order the MBL40X35SCA. Verify your 40mm bore, 35mm stroke, G1/4 port, and PT thread form. The CA back cover is a pivot clevis that swings on a pin to absorb arcing loads. If you need to step down, the 32mm bore neighbor provides 402N push at 0.5MPa; if you need more force, 40mm is the largest MAL mini round size available. Note that the fixed rubber bumper is not an adjustable cushion; for shock absorption, look at the current MBLC line. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add an external rod lock if you must hold a load. At 35mm stroke, side-load risk is minimal, but the 16mm rod still has low side-load tolerance.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X35SCA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBL40X35SCA, which matches the 40mm bore, 35mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. The new MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers.
At 0.5MPa, it pushes 628N and pulls 528N. At 0.7MPa, push is 880N, with a max theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The -S magnet on this legacy unit works with older CS1-M and DS1-M switches; the MBL replacement requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
