This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBL40X800-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 AirTAC MAL40X800-CA (Discontinued) -> MBL40X800-CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 800mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBL40X800-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X800-CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and 800mm stroke. Because 800mm exceeds the 500mm standard limit, this unit was a made-to-order configuration. It delivers a push force of 628 N and pull force of 528 N at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a G1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod-end thread. The direct replacement is the MBL40X800-CA, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and CA pivot mounting exactly.
This legacy SKU features a CA pivot back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads, which is critical for a 800mm stroke. The original MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body. This specific model lacks the -S magnet option, meaning it cannot support a position sensor. The rod relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease alongside a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide.

Drives the beat-up mechanism in wide textile looms, using the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa over the 800mm stroke to position the reed, while the CA pivot absorbs the lateral arc.
Pushes heavy pallets across a transfer station where the 880 N push force at 0.7 MPa is required, and the long 800mm stroke reaches across the conveyor lane.
Diverts large storage trays at a distribution hub, relying on the 528 N pull force to retract the 16mm carbon-steel rod rapidly within compact machinery envelopes.
To replace the MAL40X800-CA, order the MBL40X800-CA. Verify your setup accommodates the G1/4 port, M12x1.25 rod thread, and the CA pivot clevis. Because this unit lacks the -S magnet, no position sensing is possible; if you need end-of-stroke detection, you must upgrade to an MBL40X800-S-CA and switch from the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
At 0.5 MPa, this 40mm bore provides 628 N push and 528 N pull force. If you need less force, stepping down to the 32mm bore yields 402 N push and 346 N pull. If you need more power, note that 40mm is the largest available MAL/MBL mini round bore, so for higher loads you must transition to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. For a stroke of 800mm, the 16mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side-loads; you must use an external guide rail or ensure the CA pivot absorbs the arcing motion. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impact but does not lock the load—if air is lost, the rod drifts. For a true adjustable cushion, step up to the MBLC40X800-CA.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X800-CA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBL40X800-CA, which matches the 40mm bore, 800mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. The modern MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the threaded covers found on the MAL.
At 0.5 MPa, the 40mm bore provides 628 N push and 528 N pull force; at 0.7 MPa it provides 880 N push, with a theoretical maximum of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support a position sensor; legacy -S versions used CS1-M/DS1-M switches, while the MBL replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
