This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X75-CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X75-CA 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 MAL40X75-CA (Discontinued) -> MBL40X75-CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 75mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X75-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X75-CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers a substantial 628 N push and 528 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 880 N push at 0.7 MPa. Because this legacy series is end-of-life, you must order the exact drop-in replacement: the MBL40X75-CA. It matches the 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting exactly.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, meaning it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Both share a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts, though an adjustable air cushion is only available on the current MBLC line.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X75-CA carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X75-CA 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.

Provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to eject small plastic parts from injection molds, utilizing the CA pivot to accommodate slight misalignment.
Actuates a swinging diverter arm on a packaging conveyor, where the 880 N force at 0.7 MPa easily redirects heavy cardboard cartons.
Raises and lowers a mechanical stop gate on a low-profile roller conveyor, relying on the 40 mm bore's robust 528 N pull force to retract the obstacle.
To replace the MAL40X75-CA, order the MBL40X75-CA. Confirm your 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and default PT tapered thread. The CA back cover provides a pivot clevis that swings on a pin, making it ideal for arcing loads. If you need position sensing, this non-S SKU cannot support it; you must select an MBL40X75S-CA and upgrade to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family, as the older CS1-M and DS1-M switches are obsolete. If your load drifts when air is lost, add an external rod lock, because the rubber bumper will not hold the position.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 32 mm bore drops the force to 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is not an option since 40 mm is the largest MAL mini round size. Because the stroke is 75 mm, side-load is minimal, but the 16 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard chrome plating still requires alignment to prevent premature seal wear in the self-lubricating bearing guide.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X75-CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X75-CA, which matches the 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. The newer MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the older threaded covers.
The output force is 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 880 N push at 0.7 MPa, with 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; you would need an S-suffix model and the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
