This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBL40X75SU, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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 MAL40X75-S-U (Discontinued) -> MBL40X75-S-U 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 direct replacement is the MBL40X75-S-U, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X75-S-U is a discontinued double-acting compact aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and 75mm stroke. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, peaking at 128kgf. The direct replacement is the MBL40X75-S-U, matching the force, G1/4 port, and U flat-end back cover.
This legacy unit features a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing and a rigid U flat-end rear cover. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, the older CS1-M/DS1-M switches required by the MAL are superseded by CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the MBL.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X75-S-U 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-S-U produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| 40 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×75 | 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 force at 0.5MPa to positively eject finished plastic parts from injection molding dies in confined tooling spaces.
Actuates a diverter arm on a packaging conveyor, using the 75mm stroke to push light cartons off the main belt line at high cycle rates.
Drives a test head down onto printed circuit boards, using the -S magnet and a CS1-M sensor to confirm the 16mm rod reached the test position.
To replace the MAL40X75-S-U, order the MBL40X75-S-U. Verify your 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/4 port, and PT thread form. The -S magnet carries over, but you must upgrade from CS1-M/DS1-M sensors to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family. If you need to step down, the 32mm bore neighbor provides 402N push at 0.5MPa; if you need more force, note 40mm is the largest MAL mini round size. The MAL uses a fixed rubber bumper, so for adjustable air cushioning, step up to the current MBLC line. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so use an external rod lock for position holding. At 75mm stroke, side-load risk is minimal, but the 16mm rod still has low bending tolerance if heavily loaded.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X75-S-U is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBL40X75-S-U, which matches the 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, U flat-end cover, and G1/4 port. The MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers, and its magnet works with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M.
At 0.5MPa it provides 628N push and 528N pull. At 0.7MPa the push force is 880N. The maximum theoretical force is 128kgf at 1.0MPa. It operates on filtered air from 0.1 to 1.0MPa.
