This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X95SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X95SCA 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 MAL40X95SCA (Discontinued) -> MBL40X95SCA 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 MBL40X95SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X95SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and 95mm stroke. It delivers 628N of push force at 0.5 MPa and utilizes a G1/4 port with a Ø16mm carbon-steel rod. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X95SCA, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, port size, and mounting accessories for a seamless swap.
This legacy unit includes a built-in magnet (-S) and a CA pivot clevis back cover. The older MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, the -S magnet on this discontinued model interfaces with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBL replacement requires the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X95SCA 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 MBL40X95SCA 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). |
| ×95 | 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.
Provides 628N of push at 0.5 MPa to eject small plastic parts from a mold cavity before the robotic arm extracts them.
Uses the CA pivot clevis to swing a diverter arm smoothly across a conveyor belt, routing small packages at high speed.
Folds corrugated carton flaps closed on a packing line, relying on the 95mm stroke to clear the passing box profile.
To replace the MAL40X95SCA, order the MBL40X95SCA and verify your CA pivot back cover, PT thread, and G1/4 port are retained. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you must upgrade your position sensing from the older CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family. If your application requires an adjustable air cushion rather than the fixed rubber bumper found on this cylinder, step up to the current MBLC variant.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 32mm bore yields 402N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is not an option as 40mm is the largest standard MAL mini round bore. Note that a plain MAL or MBL does not hold its position when air is lost; the rod will drift. For a held load, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X95SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X95SCA, offering identical bore, stroke, force, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. You simply order the MBL equivalent for your machine.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 628N push and 528N pull, 880N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -S magnet works with legacy CS1-M/DS1-M switches; the MBL replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
