This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X610SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X610SCM 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 MAL40X610SCM (Discontinued) → MBL40X610SCM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 610mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X610SCM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X610SCM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. As a made-to-order unit with a 610 mm stroke, it exceeds the 500 mm standard limit to deliver 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X610SCM, which matches the 40 mm bore, G1/4 port, CM round-end back cover, and PT thread exactly.
This legacy SKU features a built-in -S magnet for position sensing. On the MAL, this magnet pairs with older CS1-M or DS1-M switches, but upgrading to the MBL40X610SCM requires the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body for equally robust performance.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X610SCM 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 MBL40X610SCM 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.

Pushes raw bar stock through a spindle collet, using the 628 N thrust at 0.5 MPa to overcome guide tube friction over the 610 mm travel.
Extends 610 mm to kick misaligned pallets off a packaging line, relying on the CM round-end back cover to absorb arcing motion during the sweep.
Actuates a 610 mm arm to fold large corrugated flaps, where the 528 N pull force at 0.5 MPa safely retracts the mechanism against gravity.
To replace the MAL40X610SCM, order the MBL40X610SCM and verify your 40 mm bore, 610 mm non-standard stroke, PT thread, and CM round-end back cover. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you must also swap your legacy CS1-M or DS1-M sensors for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The cylinder relies on a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion; if your application requires end-of-stroke deceleration, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line.
When sizing, consider stepping down to the 32 mm bore (402 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or up to a larger profile cylinder if you need more force than 128 kgf. At 610 mm, the 16 mm carbon-steel rod is highly susceptible to bending under lateral stress, so use an external guide rail or a pivot mount. A plain MBL does not hold its load if air pressure drops; add a pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe positioning.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X610SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X610SCM, which matches the 40 mm bore, 610 mm made-to-order stroke, G1/4 port, CM round-end cover, and PT thread. You only need to update your position sensors, as the MBL uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M or DS1-M.
The 40 mm bore delivers 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 880 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Unlike the smaller 20, 25, and 32 mm bores which use G1/8 ports, the 40 mm bore uses a larger G1/4 port.
