This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBL40X75-U-FA, 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 AirTAC MAL40X75-U-FA (Discontinued) → MBL40X75-U-FA 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-U-FA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X75-U-FA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder delivering 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Built with a 40 mm bore and 75 mm stroke, it features a robust 16 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard chrome plating and a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the MBL40X75-U-FA, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, port size, and FA flange mounting.
This legacy SKU uses a U flat-end back cover for rigid rear mounting and an FA flange for secure front attachment. Because this specific configuration lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support a position sensor. Furthermore, the older MAL utilized threaded front and back covers on the barrel, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body for equally reliable performance in compact spaces.

The MBL40X75-U-FA produces the same force from the same bore. 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 tight mold cavities, utilizing the rigid U flat-end back cover to withstand repetitive impact loads.
Drives a diverter arm on a packaging line where the 75 mm stroke and 880 N thrust at 0.7 MPa swiftly redirect cartons without requiring a full ISO 15552 profile body.
Acts as a compact stopper gate for lightweight pallets, using the FA flange to securely mount the 16 mm hard-chrome rod against fluctuating conveyor payloads.
To replace the MAL40X75-U-FA, order the MBL40X75-U-FA and verify your 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and PT thread form. The FA flange and U flat-end back cover carry over directly. If your application requires position detection, note that this specific legacy SKU lacks a magnet; you must upgrade to an MBL40X75S configuration and switch from the old CS1-M/DS1-M sensors to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 32 mm bore yields 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a larger profile cylinder provides higher thrust. The MAL relies on a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion; if your mass requires end-of-stroke deceleration, specify the current MBLC line. Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold its load when air is lost—add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding. At 75 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but always ensure the FA flange is aligned to prevent rod binding.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X75-U-FA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBL40X75-U-FA, which offers the same 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa, G1/4 port, and FA flange mounting. You simply order the MBL equivalent.
The 40 mm bore generates 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. Because this specific U-FA configuration lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support a position sensor; adding one requires an S-coded MBL and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
