This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X60SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X60SCM 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 MAL40X60SCM (Discontinued) -> MBL40X60SCM 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 drop-in replacement is the MBL40X60SCM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X60SCM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and 60mm stroke. It delivers 628N of push force and 528N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a G1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod-end thread. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X60SCM, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, port size, and mounting hardware perfectly.
This specific SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing and a CM round-end back cover. On the legacy MAL, the threaded front and back covers secure the barrel, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Furthermore, the -S magnet on this unit functions with the older CS1-M and DS1-M switches, but upgrading to the MBL requires migrating to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X60SCM 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 MBL40X60SCM 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.
Provides 628N of push force at 0.5 MPa to eject small plastic parts from injection mold cavities, utilizing the 60mm stroke to clear the mold plate entirely.
Pushes lightweight cardboard cartons at sorting junctions using the 880N available at 0.7 MPa, with the CM round-end allowing slight pivot alignment during impact.
Acts as a retractable stop for small assembly pallets, with the M12x1.25 rod thread securely mounting a custom stopper block to arrest workflow on demand.
To replace the MAL40X60SCM, order the MBL40X60SCM and verify your existing G1/4 port plumbing, M12x1.25 rod thread, and CM round-end back cover clearances. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you must also update your position sensing from the legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches used on the MBL. The MAL relies on a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping; if your application requires 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 of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is not possible as 40mm is the largest mini round bore available. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold its load when air pressure is lost; the rod will drift, so you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding. At a 60mm stroke, side-load bending risks are minimal, but always ensure the CM round-end pivot is free to articulate if your mechanism imposes slight angular rod movement.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X60SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X60SCM, which matches the 40mm bore, 60mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CM round-end mounting. You simply order the MBL40X60SCM as a direct swap, though you must update your sensors from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the new CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
The MAL40X60SCM uses a G1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it generates 628N of push force and 528N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 880N, and the theoretical maximum force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
