This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X800-S-CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X800-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 MAL40X800-S-CM (Discontinued) → MBL40X800-S-CM 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-CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X800-S-CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and an 800mm stroke. It delivers a robust 628N push and 528N pull force at 0.5MPa, making it the highest force class in this compact series. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X800-S-CM, which matches the bore, stroke, force, G1/4 port, and CM round-end mounting perfectly.
This legacy unit features a built-in -S magnet for position sensing, originally designed for CS1-M or DS1-M switches. When upgrading to the MBL equivalent, you must update to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family. The older MAL body relies on threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body for enhanced structural rigidity. Because the 800mm stroke exceeds the 500mm standard maximum, this is a made-to-order unit.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X800-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.

Provides 628N of push force at 0.5MPa to eject plastic parts from tight mold spaces, utilizing the 800mm stroke to clear the press entirely before robotic extraction.
Uses the full 800mm travel to push heavy pallets across a transfer line, where the CM round-end pivot absorbs the arcing side-load stress of the sweeping motion.
Extends 800mm to pack products into deep corrugated cartons, relying on the 16mm hard-chrome rod and self-lubricating bearing to handle the extended reach without binding.
To replace the MAL40X800-S-CM, order the drop-in MBL40X800-S-CM, ensuring you keep the CM round-end back cover for arcing pivot loads. Since this 800mm stroke is non-standard, expect made-to-order lead times. If you need to step down in size, the 32mm bore neighbor provides 402N push at 0.5MPa; if you need to step up, you must move to a larger ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
At 800mm, the 16mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads—always use an external guide or a pivot mount. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impact but is not an adjustable cushion; for adjustable air damping, specify the MBLC variant on the current line. A plain cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops, so add an external rod lock for vertical loads. The -S magnet requires a sensor family change from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X800-S-CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X800-S-CM, which shares the same 40mm bore, 800mm stroke, 628N push force at 0.5MPa, G1/4 port, and CM round-end mounting. You simply order the MBL equivalent.
At 0.5MPa, it delivers 628N push and 528N pull; at 0.7MPa, push is 880N, with a maximum theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The -S magnet works with older CS1-M/DS1-M switches, but the MBL replacement requires the newer CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family.
