This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X110CAH — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X110CAH 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 MAL40X110CAH (Discontinued) -> MBL40X110CAH is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 110mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X110CAH, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X110CAH is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. As the largest bore in the MAL family, it delivers a robust 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL40X110CAH, a drop-in alternative retaining the exact 40 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting.
This SKU features a CA clevis back cover that swings on a pin to absorb arcing loads, paired with a carbon-steel rod hardened with 20 um chrome plating for wear resistance. The original MAL body relies on threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this specific configuration lacks a magnet, it cannot support position sensing.

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X110CAH 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 an ejection arm on a 40-ton injection molding machine, utilizing the 628 N push force to break plastic parts free from the mold cavity.
Pivots a heavy routing gate on a packaging conveyor, where the CA clevis mount accommodates the arcing swing motion of the diverter arm.
Folds heavy corrugated cardboard flaps on a case erector, relying on the 528 N pull force to retract the folding blade under high friction.
To replace the MAL40X110CAH, order the MBL40X110CAH, ensuring you match the PT tapered port thread and CA pivot back cover. If your application requires end-of-stroke cushioning, step up to the MBLC series, as the MAL only provides a fixed rubber bumper. If sizing down, the 32 mm bore offers 402 N push at 0.5 MPa; if stepping up beyond this 40 mm bore's 628 N, you must transition out of the mini round family entirely. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so use an external rod lock for vertical loads. Since this SKU has no magnet, you cannot attach sensors; adding one to the MBL requires the -S option and switches to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors from the older CS1-M/DS1-M.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X110CAH is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X110CAH, which matches the 40 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mount. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design instead of the original threaded covers.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 628 N and the pull force is 528 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 880 N. The maximum theoretical force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
