This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X75-S-CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X75-S-CM 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-CM (Discontinued) -> MBL40X75-S-CM 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-CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X75-S-CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 16 mm carbon-steel rod with a 20 um hard chrome plating to resist wear. Because this legacy series is end-of-life, AirTAC engineered the MBL40X75-S-CM as the exact drop-in replacement, preserving the same 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CM round-end back cover.
This specific SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing and a CM round-end back cover that accommodates arcing rod paths. The older MAL body relies on threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body for enhanced structural integrity. Furthermore, the MAL -S magnet interfaces with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches, while the MBL successor transitions to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG solid-state sensor families.

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X75-S-CM 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.
Provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to reliably eject plastic parts from tight mold cavities where the 75 mm stroke clears the ejector pins without crashing the press.
Actuates a pivot arm on a sorting line, using the CM round-end back cover to accommodate the slight arcing motion as the 16 mm rod pushes cartons onto a secondary lane.
Drives an electronic test head into contact with a printed circuit board, relying on the -S magnet and a DS1-M switch to confirm the 75 mm stroke is fully extended before testing begins.
To replace the MAL40X75-S-CM, order the MBL40X75-S-CM and verify your setup retains the G1/4 port, PT tapered thread, and CM round-end back cover. You must also update your sensing hardware: the MAL -S magnet works with older CS1-M and DS1-M switches, but the MBL replacement requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. If your application needs end-of-stroke deceleration beyond the standard fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC variant which adds an adjustable air cushion.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate stepping down to the 32 mm bore if you only need 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or stepping up to a larger profile cylinder if 880 N at 0.7 MPa is insufficient. Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if your process requires strict position holding.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X75-S-CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X75-S-CM, which matches the 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, 628 N push force, G1/4 port, and CM round-end mounting. You must update your sensors, as the MBL uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M or DS1-M models.
The MAL40X75-S-CM is a double-acting cylinder operating on filtered air from 0.1 to 1.0 MPa. It delivers 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 880 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs at speeds of 30-800 mm/s and uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
