This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X65CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X65CM 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 MAL40X65CM (Discontinued) → MBL40X65CM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 65mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X65CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X65CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder delivering 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa. It features a 40mm bore, 65mm stroke, and a CM round-end back cover. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL40X65CM, a drop-in alternative retaining the exact force, G1/4 port, and mounting footprint.
Unlike the threaded covers on this MAL, the MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The 16mm carbon-steel rod has 20um hard chrome plating, and a heterogeneous two-way seal retains grease for long service life. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X65CM 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 MBL40X65CM 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.

| 40 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×65 | 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.
Provides 628N of push at 0.5MPa to eject small plastic parts from tight mold cavities without requiring a large ISO 15552 body.
Uses the 65mm stroke and CM round-end cover to pivot and redirect flat-bottomed pallets on a compact handling line.
Applies 528N of pull force to cycle a sealing jaw mechanism, fitting neatly within the narrow frame of end-of-line packaging machines.
To replace the MAL40X65CM, order the MBL40X65CM and verify the 40mm bore, 65mm stroke, PT port thread, and CM round-end back cover. If you need to step down, the 32mm bore yields 402N push at 0.5MPa; stepping up is not possible as 40mm is the largest MAL mini round size. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impact, but if you need adjustable cushioning, choose the current MBLC line. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so use an external rod lock to hold loads.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X65CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X65CM, which matches the 40mm bore, 65mm stroke, 628N force, G1/4 port, and CM mounting. The MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers.
At 0.5MPa it delivers 628N push and 528N pull. At 0.7MPa push is 880N, with a theoretical maximum of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The port size is G1/4, the rod is 16mm, and it operates at 30-800mm/s.
