This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X140CAH — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X140CAH 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 MAL40X140CAH (Discontinued) → MBL40X140CAH is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 140mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X140CAH, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X140CAH is a discontinued double-acting mini round cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and 140mm stroke. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, peaking at 880N push at 0.7MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X140CAH, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting.
This legacy unit uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. The Ø16mm carbon-steel rod has 20μm hard chrome plating, guided by a self-lubricating bearing. Because this specific SKU lacks a -S magnet, it cannot support a position sensor.

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X140CAH 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.

Pushes heavy cardboard flaps during carton erecting using 628N of force at 0.5MPa, with the CA pivot absorbing slight misalignment.
Ejects formed plastic parts from small molds, utilizing the 140mm stroke and 880N push at 0.7MPa for reliable stripping.
Diverts heavy wooden blocks on a conveyor using the 40mm bore's 128kgf max theoretical force and robust 16mm rod.
To replace the MAL40X140CAH, order the MBL40X140CAH. Verify your PT thread, the G1/4 port, and the CA pivot back cover, which swings on a pin to absorb arcing loads. If you need to step down, the 32mm bore provides 402N push at 0.5MPa; stepping up is not an option as 40mm is the largest MAL mini-round size. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impact but is not a position lock; for held loads, use an external rod lock. If an adjustable air cushion is required, look to the current MBLC line. At 140mm stroke, side-load stress is minimal, but always ensure the CA clevis pivot moves freely to prevent rod binding.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X140CAH is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X140CAH, which matches the 40mm bore, 140mm stroke, 628N push force at 0.5MPa, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting.
At 0.5MPa it pushes 628N and pulls 528N; at 0.7MPa it pushes 880N, with a max theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. This specific SKU has no -S magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor.
