This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X95CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X95CA 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 MAL40X95CA (Discontinued) -> MBL40X95CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 95mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X95CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X95CA is a discontinued double-acting mini round cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and 95mm stroke. It delivers a robust 628N push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a G1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod-end thread. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL40X95CA, a drop-in alternative matching the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and CA mounting interface.
This SKU includes a CA pivot back cover, swinging on a pin to absorb arcing loads. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the MBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. Note that this specific configuration lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot accept a position sensor.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X95CA 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 MBL40X95CA 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.

Replacement mapping: MAL → MBL, MSAL → MSBL, MTAL → MTBL, MALD → MBLD, MALJ → MBLJ.
Drives a small stamping die for sheet metal brackets, utilizing the 628N push force at 0.5 MPa to cut and form thin gauge steel.
Actuates a swing arm on a sorting line where the CA pivot back cover accommodates the slight arc of the 95mm stroke redirecting parcels.
Raises and lowers a manual stop gate on a low-profile assembly pallet, relying on the 40mm bore to hold the mechanism against workflow resistance.
To replace the MAL40X95CA, order the MBL40X95CA. Verify that your setup uses the default PT tapered port thread, the CA pivot back cover, and the G1/4 air supply. If you need to adjust the bore, stepping down to the 32mm neighbor yields 402N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is not possible as 40mm is the largest MAL mini round size.
If your application requires an adjustable air cushion instead of the fixed rubber bumper found on this MAL, upgrade to the MBLC series. Because this SKU lacks an -S magnet, no sensor can be attached. For any load-holding requirements when air pressure drops, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the bumper is not a locking mechanism.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X95CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X95CA, which shares the same 40mm bore, 95mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design while retaining the original force ratings.
The 40mm bore generates 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5 MPa, 880N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor; if sensing is needed, order an MBL40X95SCA which uses modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
