This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBL40X1300-CA, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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 MAL40X1300-CA (Discontinued) -> MBL40X1300-CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 1300mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBL40X1300-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X1300-CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and 1300mm stroke. As a made-to-order non-standard stroke exceeding the 500mm limit, it delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa. The direct replacement is the MBL40X1300-CA, matching the bore, stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting.
This legacy unit features threaded front and back covers, whereas the MBL upgrade uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. The CA clevis back cover allows the body to swing on a pin, which is critical for managing arcing side-loads over such an extended stroke.

The MBL40X1300-CA produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Replacement mapping: MAL → MBL, MSAL → MSBL, MTAL → MTBL, MALD → MBLD, MALJ → MBLJ.
Pushes parts out of a CNC machining center using 628N of force at 0.5MPa, where the 1300mm stroke reaches across a wide safety enclosure.
Transitions heavy workpieces between parallel roller conveyors, utilizing the CA pivot to absorb angular rod misalignment during the long 1.3-meter traverse.
Extracts totes from deep shelving racks; the 40mm bore provides 528N pull at 0.5MPa to overcome carton friction on guide rails over a 1300mm retract distance.
To replace the MAL40X1300-CA, order the MBL40X1300-CA. Verify the PT tapered port thread, M12x1.25 rod end, and CA pivot back cover. If you need a position sensor, the MBL -S version requires CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, as the older CS1-M/DS1-M sensors are obsolete. If you need end-of-stroke cushioning, step up to the MBLC for adjustable air cushions, since the MAL only has a fixed rubber bumper.
For sizing, stepping down to the 32mm bore yields 402N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up is not possible as 40mm is the largest MAL mini round size. At 1300mm, the 16mm rod is highly susceptible to bending; you must use an external guide rail to prevent rod damage. Note that neither the MAL nor MBL holds its load when air is lost—the rod drifts, so add a pilot-operated check valve for suspension.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X1300-CA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBL40X1300-CA, offering the same 40mm bore, 1300mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
At 0.5MPa it provides 628N push and 528N pull. At 0.7MPa push is 880N. The theoretical maximum force is 128kgf at 1.0MPa. It uses a G1/4 port, operates at 30-800mm/s, and the 1300mm stroke is non-standard.
