This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X800-S-CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X800-S-CA 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 MAL40X800-S-CA (Legacy) → MBL40X800-S-CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 800mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X800-S-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X800-S-CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and an 800mm non-standard stroke. Built for high-force compact actuation, it delivers 628N of push force at 0.5MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X800-S-CA, which matches the bore, stroke, 880N output at 0.7MPa, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. AirTAC updated the design by replacing the original threaded front and back covers with a riveted rolling-packed body on the MBL.
This specific SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) and a CA pivot back cover. The magnet on the legacy MAL functions with older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches, while the modern MBL replacement transitions to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG solid-state sensors. The CA clevis allows the cylinder to swing on a pin to absorb arcing loads, a critical feature for an 800mm stroke that requires external guidance to prevent rod bending. A heterogeneous two-way seal retains grease for a long service life.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X800-S-CA 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 MBL40X800-S-CA 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 heavy pallets along a roller conveyor using 880N of thrust at 0.7MPa, relying on the CA pivot to self-align during the long 800mm extension.
Feeds raw bar stock into a spindle over an 800mm cycle, using the G1/4 port for rapid air exchange and the magnet for position confirmation.
Raises a parts-storage gate via a clevis pin, absorbing arcing moments while utilizing the 128kgf maximum theoretical force to lift heavy steel racks.
To replace the MAL40X800-S-CA, order the MBL40X800-S-CA. Confirm your 40mm bore, 800mm made-to-order stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, CA pivot cover, and magnet option. Because this is a non-standard 800mm stroke exceeding the 500mm standard limit, expect a longer lead time. If you need to adjust the bore, stepping down to the 32mm neighbor yields 402N push at 0.5MPa, while no larger bore exists in this mini series. The 16mm carbon-steel rod with 20um hard chrome plating has low side-load tolerance, so an external guide is mandatory at this length.
The fixed rubber bumper softens the end of stroke but is not an adjustable cushion; if your load requires end-of-stroke deceleration, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line. A plain cylinder does not hold its position when air is lost—the rod drifts—so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for safety. Remember that your existing CS1-M or DS1-M sensors will not fit the MBL body; you must upgrade to the CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switch family.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X800-S-CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X800-S-CA, offering the same 40mm bore, 800mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. The MBL body uses a riveted rolling-packed design instead of threaded covers, and your CS1-M or DS1-M sensors must be upgraded to the CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG family.
At 0.5MPa, the push force is 628N and the pull force is 528N. At 0.7MPa, the push force is 880N. The maximum theoretical force is 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The 800mm stroke is a non-standard made-to-order length beyond the 500mm standard maximum.
