This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD40X200-S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD40X200-S in place of this model. The MBLD replacement upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (the MAL used CS1-M / DS1-M).
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD40X200-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD40X200-S is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder: a rod exits both ends of the Ø40mm bore, so push and pull force are equal. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBLD40X200-S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD40X200-S
The AirTAC MALD40X200-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. A rod exits both ends of the 40mm bore, yielding equal push and pull force of 528 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD40X200-S, matching the 200mm stroke, G1/4 port, and FA/LB mounting.
This SKU includes a -S magnet that uses the older CS1-M / DS1-M switches, whereas the MBLD upgrade uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The original MALD features threaded covers, while the MBLD replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Both designs use a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD40X200-S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD40X200-S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD40X200-S |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 200 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | G1/4 |
| Rod thread | M12×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.1 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed rubber bumper |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 500 mm |
Double-rod types have no back-cover code and no SDB pivot; mount on the body, LB foot or FA flange. The MBLD40X200-S carries the same ratings.
Output Force — Equal Both Ways (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 528 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 739 N | 739 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 108 kgf | |
A rod exits both ends, so the effective area — and force — is equal in both directions. The MBLD40X200-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD40X200-S Is Used
PCB Edge Deburring Jig
Drives a dual-sided deburring blade on a PCB router line. The twin rods prevent rotation during the 200mm cutting traverse, using the 528 N equal force to hold the cutter firmly in both directions.
Textile Loom Guide
Actuates a yarn tensioning cam on a weaving loom. The rear rod carries a physical flag to trigger a legacy CS1-M reed sensor, while the front rod provides 739 N of pulling force at 0.7 MPa to reset the mechanism.
Bottle Capper Sync Slide
Slides a capping head over a rotary beverage filler. The double-rod design adds extra bearing support for the 200mm stroke, handling the 528 N push and pull loads without sagging onto the bottle tops.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD40X200-S with MBLD40X200-S
To replace the MALD40X200-S, order the MBLD40X200-S. Confirm the 40mm bore, 200mm stroke, M12x1.25 rod-end thread, PT G1/4 port, and FA or LB mounting. Because this is a double-rod cylinder, there is no back-cover or SDB code. The -S magnet lets you fit CS1-M / DS1-M switches on the MALD, but the MBLD replacement requires CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors.
Size your load on the equal 528 N force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 32mm bore neighbour, which provides 346 N each way at 0.5 MPa. As this is the largest standard bore, you cannot step up. For a 200mm stroke, ensure your mounting resists side-load by guiding the load externally to prevent rod binding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD40X200-S (same bore/stroke/force)
- ✓ Force equal both ways (528 N at 0.5 MPa)
- ✓ Twin rods for anti-rotation / rear flag
- ✓ No back cover / SDB — plan a body or FA/LB mount
- ✓ Sensor: swap CS1-M/DS1-M → CMSG/DMSG/EMSG
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.1 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Protect both rod ends from side load on long strokes.
- check No back-cover / SDB on double-rod — use body / FA / LB.
- check Front/rear covers are threaded — not for field disassembly.
- check For new builds, specify the MBLD40X200-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD40X200-S FAQ
Yes, the MALD40X200-S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD40X200-S, which matches the 40mm bore, 200mm stroke, G1/4 port, and FA/LB mounting. The MBLD uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers, and its -S magnet uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches rather than the older CS1-M / DS1-M sensors.
Force is equal because a rod exits both ends, giving both sides the same annulus area. The push and pull forces are identical: 528 N at 0.5 MPa, 739 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 108 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The cylinder uses a fixed rubber bumper, so it cannot hold a load on air loss.
