This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBL40X60CASDB, 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 MAL40X60CASDB (Discontinued) -> MBL40X60CASDB is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBL40X60CASDB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X60CASDB is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and 60mm 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 MBL40X60CASDB, matching the force, port, and pivot mount exactly. The legacy MAL uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body for equally robust performance.
This specific SKU includes a CA pivot back cover and an SDB pivot bracket, allowing the cylinder to swing on a pin to absorb arcing loads. It lacks a built-in magnet (-S), meaning it cannot support position sensors out of the box. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X60CASDB 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 MBL40X60CASDB produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.
| MAL | Aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×60 | 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.
Swings via the SDB bracket to push 20kg pallets off a packaging line, utilizing 628N push force at 0.5MPa.
Actuates a pivot-arm tool release mechanism, where the CA clevis accommodates slight misalignment during the 60mm stroke.
Kicks small stamped metal parts out of a die area, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to survive 880N impact at 0.7MPa.
To replace the MAL40X60CASDB, order the MBL40X60CASDB. Confirm your 60mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and the CA/SDB pivot configuration. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; if you need position detection, you must upgrade to an MBL40X60CASDBS and switch from the old CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family. If you need adjustable end-cushioning rather than a fixed bumper, step up to the MBLC variant.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 32mm bore yields 402N push at 0.5MPa, while this 40mm bore provides 628N. If your application needs more force, consider a larger profile cylinder. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost; use an external rod lock for vertical loads. At 60mm stroke, side-load risk is minimal, but always ensure the SDB pivot pin is aligned to prevent rod binding.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X60CASDB is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBL40X60CASDB, which matches the 40mm bore, 60mm stroke, G1/4 port, CA pivot cover, and SDB mounting. You just order the MBL equivalent.
The 40mm bore provides 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 880N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take a position sensor.
