This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X700-S-CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X700-S-CM 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 MAL40X700-S-CM (Discontinued) -> MBL40X700-S-CM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 700mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X700-S-CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X700-S-CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. As a made-to-order 700 mm stroke exceeding the 500 mm standard, it delivers 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 128 kgf. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X700-S-CM, matching the 40 mm bore, G1/4 port, M12x1.25 rod thread, and CM round-end back cover.
This legacy unit features a -S magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M switches, whereas the modern MBL uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, while the MBL upgrade utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body. Both share a fixed rubber bumper and a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide that supports the 16 mm carbon-steel rod.
To replace the MAL40X700-S-CM, order the MBL40X700-S-CM. Verify your PT port thread, CM round-end back cover, and mounting hardware. The -S magnet requires upgrading your CS1-M or DS1-M sensors to the CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG family. Because this is a 700 mm stroke, the 16 mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; use an external guide rail or a pivot mount to prevent premature seal failure.
If you need to adjust force, step down to the 32 mm bore (402 N push at 0.5 MPa) or step up if available. Note that the fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impact but does not lock the rod; air loss causes drift, so add an external rod lock for suspended loads. If end-of-stroke shock is severe, the current-line MBLC offers an adjustable air cushion the MAL lacks.

The MBL40X700-S-CM 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.

Drives a 700 mm stroke clamping arm in an automotive brake-pad assembly line, utilizing 880 N push at 0.7 MPa to secure components during machining.
Ejects packaged electronics boxes from a conveyor using the CM round-end pivot to accommodate slight angular misalignment during the long 700 mm transfer.
Extends a sliding tray in semiconductor test equipment, requiring the -S magnet and CS1-M switches to confirm full extension at 700 mm.
To replace the MAL40X700-S-CM, order the MBL40X700-S-CM, ensuring you keep the CM round-end back cover and PT port thread. If you need to step down in force, the 32 mm bore provides 402 N push at 0.5 MPa; if you need more force, verify if a larger profile cylinder is required. Because the 700 mm stroke exceeds the 500 mm standard, it is a non-standard made-to-order part. The 16 mm rod has low side-load tolerance over this length, so an external guide rail is mandatory. The fixed rubber bumper is not a lock; the rod drifts on air loss, so use a pilot-operated check valve for position holding. If you need adjustable cushioning, switch to the MBLC.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X700-S-CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X700-S-CM, which matches the 40 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CM round-end back cover. You must upgrade your CS1-M or DS1-M sensors to the CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG family for the new MBL magnet.
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. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion; for adjustable air cushioning, use the current MBLC line.
