This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X1100-CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X1100-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 MAL40X1100-CA (Discontinued) -> MBL40X1100-CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 1100mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X1100-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X1100-CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. As a made-to-order 1100 mm stroke unit, it exceeds the 500 mm standard limit and delivers 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X1100-CA, matching the 40 mm bore, force, G1/4 port, and CA pivot exactly.
This legacy unit features a CA pivot back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads, which is critical for a 1100 mm stroke. Because this SKU lacks an -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Both share a fixed rubber bumper, so if adjustable cushioning is needed, the MBLC variant is required.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X1100-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 MBL40X1100-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.

Uses the CA pivot to swing fabric webs over a 1100 mm reach, relying on 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa to maintain tension without binding.
Pivots heavy parcels across a wide conveyor belt, where the 1100 mm made-to-order stroke and 880 N force at 0.7 MPa handle deep routing arcs.
Sweeps layer sheets across a 1.1 meter pallet face, using the pivot bracket to absorb rod stress during long horizontal strokes.
To replace the MAL40X1100-CA, order the MBL40X1100-CA. Verify the G1/4 port, PT thread, and CA pivot bracket. Since this SKU has no -S magnet, you cannot mount a sensor; adding one requires an MBL40X1100-S-CA, which shifts the switch family from the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. If end-of-stroke cushioning is inadequate, step up to the MBLC40X1100-CA for adjustable air cushions.
For sizing, step down to the 32 mm bore if you need less force (402 N push at 0.5 MPa), or step up if available for higher loads. At 1100 mm, the 16 mm carbon-steel rod has low side-load tolerance; you must use an external guide to prevent rod bending. Note that the bumper only softens the stroke end and does not hold the load when air is lost.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X1100-CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X1100-CA, offering the same 40 mm bore, 1100 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
It delivers 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 880 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks an -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor; adding one requires an -S model and switches to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
