This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X70CAH — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X70CAH 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 MAL40X70CAH (Discontinued) → MBL40X70CAH is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 70mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X70CAH, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X70CAH is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers a robust 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a Ø16 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard-chrome plating. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X70CAH, matching the 40 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting exactly.
This legacy unit features a fixed rubber bumper and a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this specific SKU lacks an -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X70CAH carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X70CAH 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.
| MAL | Aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×70 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional magnet for a CS1-M / DS1-M sensor (MBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG). |
| CA / U / CM | Back cover: CA pivot, U flat-end or CM round-end. |
Replacement mapping: MAL → MBL, MSAL → MSBL, MTAL → MTBL, MALD → MBLD, MALJ → MBLJ.
Uses the 880 N push force at 0.7 MPa to knock small stamped metal parts out of a die.
The CA pivot mounting absorbs arcing loads while pushing heavy cardboard pallets onto a secondary packaging line.
Leverages the 70 mm stroke and 528 N pull force to fold thick corrugated cardboard flaps closed.
To replace the MAL40X70CAH, order the MBL40X70CAH. Confirm your G1/4 port, PT thread form, and CA pivot back cover. The CA clevis swings on a pin to absorb arcing loads. If you need to step down, the 32 mm bore offers 402 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up is not possible as 40 mm is the largest MAL mini round size. If adjustable cushioning is required, look at the current MBLC line instead of the fixed bumper. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so use an external rod lock for held loads.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X70CAH is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X70CAH, offering the same 40 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, 628 N force, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628 N and pulls 528 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 880 N, with a theoretical max of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take a sensor.
