This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X930SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X930SCM 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 MAL40X930SCM (Discontinued) → MBL40X930SCM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 930mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X930SCM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X930SCM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and a 930mm non-standard stroke. Because 930mm exceeds the 500mm standard limit, this unit was a made-to-order configuration delivering 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa. AirTAC replaced the MAL line with the MBL series, making the MBL40X930SCM the exact drop-in replacement. It matches the original G1/4 port, M12x1.25 rod thread, CM round-end back cover, and magnet configuration perfectly.
This legacy SKU features a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection. On the MAL, this magnet pairs with older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches, whereas the MBL successor transitions to current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The original MAL body used threaded front and back covers, while the modern MBL utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body for structural integrity. Both share a fixed rubber bumper and a carbon-steel rod with 20um hard-chrome plating.

The MBL40X930SCM 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 930mm sweep arm to fold large corrugated carton flaps, utilizing the 628N push force at 0.5MPa to cleanly crease heavy cardboard on packaging lines.
Shifts heavy textile warp beams across a 930mm gap, relying on the 16mm hard-chrome plated rod and an external guide to prevent binding during long-distance lateral transfers.
Pushes wooden pallet dividers from a vertical magazine, using the CM round-end back cover to accommodate slight angular misalignment as the rod extends the full 930mm stroke.
To replace the MAL40X930SCM, order the MBL40X930SCM. Verify your porting (PT tapered thread on a G1/4 port), the CM round-end back cover, and the -S magnet. Because this is a 930mm stroke, the 16mm carbon-steel rod is highly susceptible to bending under lateral stress; you must use an external guide rail to support the load. If your application requires adjustable end-of-stroke cushioning instead of the fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC40 series. If you need less force, the next size down is the 32mm bore (402N push at 0.5MPa); if you need more, note that 40mm is the largest MAL/MBL mini round size available. A plain cylinder does not hold its load when air pressure drops—the rod will drift—so install a pilot-operated check valve if vertical positioning must be maintained.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X930SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X930SCM, which matches the 40mm bore, 930mm stroke, G1/4 port, CM round-end cover, and magnet. The MBL body uses a riveted rolling-packed design instead of threaded covers, and the -S magnet now requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M or DS1-M sensors.
At 0.5MPa, the 40mm bore provides 628N push and 528N pull force. At 0.7MPa, the push force is 880N. The maximum theoretical force is 128kgf at 1.0MPa. Note that the 930mm stroke is a non-standard made-to-order length exceeding the 500mm standard maximum.
