This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X195SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X195SCA 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 MAL40X195SCA (Discontinued) -> MBL40X195SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 195mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X195SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X195SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and 195mm stroke. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, utilizing a G1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod thread. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X195SCA, matching the force, port, and CA pivot mount exactly.
This legacy unit features a CA pivot back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads, while the -S magnet works with older CS1-M/DS1-M switches. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. If you need end-of-stroke damping, note that this model relies on a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.

The MBL40X195SCA 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 the swinging beater arm on a weaving loom, where the CA pivot absorbs arcing rod movement while delivering 628N push at 0.5MPa to pack the weft thread tightly.
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging conveyor to sort glass bottles, using the 195mm stroke to fully open the lane while the fixed rubber bumper softens the high-speed shift.
Shoves empty wooden pallets into a stacking cradle, relying on the 40mm bore's 880N push at 0.7MPa to overcome sliding friction without stalling the cycle.
To replace the MAL40X195SCA, order the MBL40X195SCA, confirming the 195mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and CA pivot back cover. If your application needs less force, step down to the 32mm bore (402N push at 0.5MPa); if you need more power, this 40mm bore is the largest available in the mini round series, offering 880N at 0.7MPa. Because the -S magnet is present, plan to upgrade your sensors from the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family used on the MBL.
With a 195mm stroke, the 16mm carbon-steel rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending. Use the CA pivot to absorb angular motion, or add an external guide rail to prevent rod damage. If your machine requires adjustable end-cushioning rather than the fixed rubber bumper, step up to the current MBLC variant. Remember, neither the MAL nor the MBL holds a load when air pressure is lost; install an external rod lock for fail-safe positioning.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X195SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X195SCA, which matches the 40mm bore, 195mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mount. You must upgrade your sensors from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family for the MBL.
The 40mm bore delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 880N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. It operates at 0.1-1.0MPa with a speed range of 30-800mm/s.
