This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X95CAH — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X95CAH 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 MAL40X95CAH (Discontinued) -> MBL40X95CAH 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 MBL40X95CAH, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X95CAH is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers a robust 628 N push and 528 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 16 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard chrome plating. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X95CAH, matching the 40 mm bore, 95 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. A structural upgrade differentiates the two: the legacy MAL features threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body.
This specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot support any position sensing. Furthermore, the MAL relies on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts, whereas the modern MBLC variant introduces an adjustable air cushion. The CA pivot back cover is designed to swing on a pin, making it ideal for applications with arcing motion rather than rigid lateral loads.

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X95CAH 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.

Routes heavy cardboard cartons on a conveyor using 628 N of push force, with the CA pivot absorbing the angular side-shock of the deflecting packages.
Pushes molded plastic parts out of a tight die cavity, utilizing the 95 mm stroke and self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide for reliable retraction.
Acts as a heavy-duty physical stop for wooden pallets entering a wrapping station, relying on the 16 mm hard-chrome rod to resist impact wear.
To replace the MAL40X95CAH, order the MBL40X95CAH. Confirm the 95 mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread form, and the CA pivot back cover are retained. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; if position detection is required, upgrading to an MBL40X95SCAH changes the sensor family from the legacy CS1-M / DS1-M to the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches. If your load requires an adjustable cushion instead of the standard fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC series.
For sizing, the 40 mm bore provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the neighboring 32 mm bore yields 402 N. If you need more power, this is the largest MAL mini round bore available. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost; the bumper is not a lock, so use an external rod lock for vertical loads. At 95 mm stroke, side-load tolerance is moderate, so the CA pivot is highly beneficial for absorbing misalignment.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X95CAH is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X95CAH, which matches the 40 mm bore, 95 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. The MBL upgrades the body from threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed construction.
At 0.5 MPa, it pushes with 628 N and pulls with 528 N. At 0.7 MPa, push force is 880 N, with a maximum theoretical force of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks a -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor.
