This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X65SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X65SCA 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 MAL40X65SCA (Discontinued) -> MBL40X65SCA 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 MBL40X65SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X65SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder built for compact spaces. Delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 880 N at 0.7 MPa, it features a 40 mm bore, a 65 mm stroke, and a G1/4 port. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X65SCA, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, port size, and CA pivot mounting.
This legacy SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection and a CA pivot back cover that swings on a pin to absorb arcing loads. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Note that the -S magnet on this discontinued model works with the older CS1-M and DS1-M switches, while the MBL replacement uses the current CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensor families.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X65SCA 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 MBL40X65SCA 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.

| ×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 880 N of push force at 0.7 MPa to eject small plastic parts from tight mold cavities where a compact 40 mm body is required.
Uses the 65 mm stroke and CA pivot back cover to swing a diverter arm smoothly on packaging lines, absorbing arcing side loads during carton sorting.
Delivers 628 N at 0.5 MPa to press small bearings or pins into sub-assemblies on automated pallet fixtures without requiring a full-size ISO cylinder.
To replace the MAL40X65SCA, order the MBL40X65SCA and verify your CA pivot back cover, 65 mm stroke, and PT thread form. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, plan to upgrade your existing CS1-M or DS1-M switches to the CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors used by the new MBL. If you need to step down for a lighter task, the 32 mm bore provides 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa; if you need more power, note that 40 mm is the largest available bore in this mini round series, offering a maximum theoretical output of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The fixed rubber bumper softens the end of stroke but does not lock the rod, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required to hold a load when air pressure is lost. If your application demands adjustable end-of-stroke cushioning rather than a fixed bumper, step up to the current-line MBLC variant.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X65SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X65SCA, which matches the 40 mm bore, 65 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. You must upgrade your sensors, as the MBL uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M or DS1-M models.
The 40 mm bore generates 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, and 880 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum theoretical output of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a 16 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard chrome plating, a G1/4 port, and an M12x1.25 rod-end thread.
