This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X75-S-CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X75-S-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-S-CA (Discontinued) → MBL40X75-S-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-S-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X75-S-CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and 75mm stroke. It delivers a robust 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, utilizing a G1/4 port and a Ø16mm carbon-steel rod with 20µm hard chrome plating. The direct drop-in replacement is the MBL40X75-S-CA, which matches the bore, stroke, output force, port size, and CA pivot mounting exactly.
This legacy SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing; note that the older MAL works with CS1-M/DS1-M switches, while the modern MBL replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. A key upgrade detail is the body construction: the MAL uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. Both designs rely on a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping, so if your application requires an adjustable air cushion, you must step up to the current MBLC series.

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

Replacement mapping: MAL → MBL, MSAL → MSBL, MTAL → MTBL, MALD → MBLD, MALJ → MBLJ.
Drives the ejection of plastic parts in a 50-ton injection molding machine, using the 628N push force to clear the die cavity.
Swings on its CA pivot to push heavy pallets onto a side conveyor line, absorbing the arcing load during product transfer.
Advances a metal strip into a mechanical stamping press, relying on the 75mm stroke and self-lubricating bearing guide for precise feeding.
To replace the MAL40X75-S-CA, order the MBL40X75-S-CA. Confirm your PT tapered port thread, the Ø16mm rod-end M12x1.25 thread, and the CA pivot back cover, which allows the cylinder to swing on a pin for arcing loads. Because this SKU has the -S magnet, you must update your sensors from the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M family to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. If you need to step down to a lighter force, the 32mm bore neighbor offers 402N push at 0.5MPa; stepping up is not possible as 40mm is the largest MAL mini round size. Remember that a plain bumper does not hold a load when air is lost, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position holding is required.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X75-S-CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X75-S-CA, which matches the 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. You will need to update your position sensors from the old CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
At 0.5MPa, the 40mm bore provides 628N push and 528N pull. At 0.7MPa, the push force is 880N. The theoretical maximum force is 128kgf at 1.0MPa.
