This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X75-CA-H — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X75-CA-H 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-H (Discontinued) -> MBL40X75-CA-H 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-H, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X75-CA-H is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It features a 40mm bore and a 75mm stroke, generating 628N of push force and 528N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X75-CA-H, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting for seamless integration.
This legacy unit utilizes a carbon-steel rod with a 20 um hard-chrome plating and a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot support a position sensor. The original MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body for enhanced structural integrity.

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

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X75-CA-H 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 628N of push force at 0.5 MPa to eject small plastic parts from tight mold spaces, utilizing the CA pivot to accommodate slight misalignment.
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging line, where the 528N pull force reliably retracts the diverter against box friction and the 75mm stroke clears the belt.
Raises and lowers a physical stop gate for low-profile pallets, relying on the 40mm bore's 880N peak thrust at 0.7 MPa to hold back creeping loads.
To replace the MAL40X75-CA-H, order the MBL40X75-CA-H and verify your CA pivot back cover, G1/4 port, and PT thread type. If you need to step down to a smaller bore, the 32mm neighbor provides 402N of push force at 0.5 MPa; stepping up is not possible as 40mm is the largest MAL mini round size. Since this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; if you need position detection, upgrade to an MBL40X75S-CA and use the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M family.
The MAL uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion; if your application requires end-of-stroke deceleration, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line. A plain cylinder does not hold its load when air is lost, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for safety. The 16mm rod offers moderate side-load tolerance, but always ensure the CA clevis pivot is free to swing to prevent rod binding.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X75-CA-H is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X75-CA-H, offering the same 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, force, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. The main upgrade is a riveted rolling-packed body replacing the original threaded covers.
The 40mm bore delivers 628N of push force and 528N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 880N. The maximum theoretical force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
