This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X65CMLB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X65CMLB 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 MAL40X65CMLB (Discontinued) → MBL40X65CMLB 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 MBL40X65CMLB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X65CMLB is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and 65mm stroke. It delivers 628N of push force and 528N of pull force at 0.5MPa, utilizing a G1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod-end thread. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X65CMLB, which matches the bore, stroke, output force, port size, and LB foot mounting accessory for a seamless transition.
This legacy SKU features a CM round-end back cover and an LB foot mounting bracket. Because this specific model lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Both designs rely on a fixed rubber bumper, so if your application requires an adjustable air cushion, you must step up to the current-line MBLC variant.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X65CMLB 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 MBL40X65CMLB 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.
| MAL | Aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 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 a tight mold cavity, with the LB foot mount stabilizing the body against sudden retraction.
Drives a diverter arm on a packaging conveyor, where the 65mm stroke quickly pushes lightweight cardboard cartons to a secondary lane.
Acts as a pneumatic stop gate for an assembly line pallet, using the CM round-end back cover to accommodate slight angular misalignment during impact.
To replace the MAL40X65CMLB, order the MBL40X65CMLB and confirm the 40mm bore, 65mm stroke, G1/4 port, and PT thread form. Verify your CM round-end back cover and LB foot mounting accessory are retained. Since this SKU has no -S magnet, you cannot mount a sensor; if you need position detection, specify an MBL40X65S with a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switch. If you need to step down for a lighter duty cycle, the 32mm bore offers 402N push at 0.5MPa. If you need more power, note that 40mm is the largest available MAL/MBL mini round bore. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impact but does not lock the rod; a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for suspended loads.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X65CMLB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X65CMLB, which matches the 40mm bore, 65mm stroke, 628N force, G1/4 port, and LB mounting. The modern MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers, and if you ever need an adjustable cushion, the MBLC variant offers one.
The 40mm bore delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 880N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor; adding a magnet to the MBL replacement requires the newer CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
