This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X350-CA-H — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X350-CA-H 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 MAL40X350-CA-H (Discontinued) → MBL40X350-CA-H is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 350mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X350-CA-H, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X350-CA-H is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and 350mm stroke. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, peaking at 128kgf. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X350-CA-H, matching the force, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting.
This legacy SKU features a CA pivot clevis back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads, which is critical given the 350mm stroke. Because this specific model lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body for equal structural integrity.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X350-CA-H 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 MBL40X350-CA-H 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 628N push force at 0.5MPa and 350mm stroke to sweep woven fabric rolls off a loom, relying on the CA pivot clevis to absorb the angular load as the arm retracts.
Pushes 128kgf maximum at 1.0MPa to deflect heavy cardboard boxes at a sorting junction, where the 350mm throw clears the conveyor belt width.
Acts as a 350mm extending mechanical stop for incoming pallets, using the CA clevis to swing safely out of the way during maintenance.
To replace the MAL40X350-CA-H, order the MBL40X350-CA-H. Verify your 40mm bore, 350mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT tapered thread, and CA pivot clevis. Since this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support a sensor; if you need position detection, upgrade to an MBL40X350-S-CA and switch to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, as the older CS1-M/DS1-M switches are obsolete. If you need adjustable cushioning instead of the fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC40 variant.
For sizing flexibility, you can step down to the 32mm bore (402N push at 0.5MPa) to save space, or step up if 628N is insufficient. Note that the fixed rubber bumper is not a lock; a plain MBL will drift and drop when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for vertical loads. At 350mm, the 16mm rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending; use the CA pivot to absorb angular motion or add an external guide rail.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X350-CA-H is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X350-CA-H, which offers the same 40mm bore, 350mm stroke, 628N push force, G1/4 port, and CA pivot clevis. The MBL upgrades the body from threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed design.
The 40mm bore generates 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 880N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor; the MBL replacement with -S uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
