This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBL40X600-CA, 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 MAL40X600-CA (Discontinued) -> MBL40X600-CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 600mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBL40X600-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X600-CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and a 600mm non-standard stroke. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, utilizing a G1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod-end thread. The direct replacement is the MBL40X600-CA, matching the bore, stroke, output force, port, and CA pivot mounting.
This legacy unit features threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept any position sensor. The internal fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts but does not lock the rod; if you need adjustable cushioning, step up to the MBLC series.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X600-CA carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X600-CA produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| ×600 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional magnet for a CS1-M / DS1-M sensor (MBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG). |
| CA / U / CM | Back cover: CA pivot, U flat-end or CM round-end. |
Replacement mapping: MAL → MBL, MSAL → MSBL, MTAL → MTBL, MALD → MBLD, MALJ → MBLJ.
Drives the 600mm indexing stroke on a weaving loom to shift heavy warp beams, using the 880N push force at 0.7MPa to move the load while the CA pivot absorbs angular misalignment.
Actuates a 600mm rejection arm on a packaging conveyor, pushing loaded pallets sideways with 628N at 0.5MPa while the clevis mount accommodates the pivot arc.
Pushes stacked inventory trays across a 600mm gap in an automated storage system, relying on the 128kgf maximum theoretical force to overcome sliding friction.
To replace the MAL40X600-CA, order the MBL40X600-CA. Verify your PT threaded port, the CA pivot back cover for arcing loads, and the 600mm made-to-order stroke (which exceeds the 500mm standard maximum). If you need to downsize, the 32mm bore neighbor provides 402N push at 0.5MPa; if you need more force, note 40mm is the largest MAL mini round size. A 600mm stroke on a 16mm rod is highly susceptible to bending, so an external guide or the CA clevis is mandatory to manage side loads. Since this SKU has no -S magnet, you cannot mount a sensor; adding one requires the MBL40X600S-CA and a switch upgrade from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family. The bumper is not a position lock, so use a pilot-operated check valve to hold loads.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X600-CA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBL40X600-CA, offering the same 40mm bore, 600mm stroke, G1/4 port, CA pivot mount, and 628N push force at 0.5MPa. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
At 0.5MPa it provides 628N push and 528N pull; at 0.7MPa push is 880N; the maximum theoretical force is 128kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor; adding detection requires switching to an MBL40X600S-CA and using CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
