This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X800-S-U — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X800-S-U 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-U (Legacy) -> MBL40X800-S-U 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-U, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X800-S-U is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and 800mm stroke. As a made-to-order non-standard stroke exceeding the 500mm maximum standard, it delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, scaling to 880N at 0.7MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X800-S-U, matching the bore, stroke, output force, G1/4 port, and U flat-end back cover perfectly.
This legacy SKU features a built-in -S magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M switches, whereas the MBL replacement upgrades you to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family. The original MAL uses threaded front and back covers, while the modern MBL utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, though an adjustable air cushion is only available on the current-line MBLC variant.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X800-S-U 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 MBL40X800-S-U 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.

Replacement mapping: MAL → MBL, MSAL → MSBL, MTAL → MTBL, MALD → MBLD, MALJ → MBLJ.
Uses the 880N push at 0.7MPa to knock out deep-draw injection molded parts, relying on the 800mm travel to clear the mold cavity entirely.
Transfers heavy pallets between parallel conveyor lines, where the 628N force at 0.5MPa moves the load and the long stroke bridges the gap.
Indexes stacked component trays upward, with the U flat-end back cover providing a rigid mounting point for the 800mm vertical lift.
To replace the MAL40X800-S-U, order the MBL40X800-S-U and confirm the PT port thread, the U flat-end rigid back cover, and the -S magnet requirement. Because the -S magnet is present, remember to update your inventory from the older CS1-M or DS1-M sensors to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. If you need to adjust force, stepping down to the 32mm bore yields 402N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up is not an option as 40mm is the largest available MAL mini round body.
At 800mm, this non-standard stroke demands careful mounting due to the 16mm carbon-steel rod's susceptibility to bending under side loads. Utilize an external guide rail or a pivot mount to prevent rod damage. Note that the fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts but does not lock the load; if air pressure drops, the rod will drift, requiring an external rod lock for position holding.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X800-S-U is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X800-S-U, which matches the 40mm bore, 800mm stroke, G1/4 port, U flat-end cover, and -S magnet. You simply order the MBL equivalent.
The 40mm bore generates 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 880N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The -S magnet works with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches, but the MBL replacement requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
