This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBL40X750-CA, 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 MAL40X750-CA (Discontinued) -> MBL40X750-CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 750mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the MBL40X750-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X750-CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. Delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa via its 40 mm bore, this 750 mm stroke unit was built for long-travel compact tasks. AirTAC replaced it with the MBL40X750-CA, a direct alternative retaining the exact same G1/4 port, 16 mm rod, and CA pivot mounting.
This specific SKU lacks a -S magnet, meaning it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MAL utilized threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Both designs rely on a fixed rubber bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts rather than an adjustable air cushion.

The MBL40X750-CA produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Drives long-stroke ejector pins on injection molding machines, using the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa to safely strip large plastic automotive dashboards from the tool cavity.
Actuates diverter gates on heavy-duty packaging conveyor lines, where the CA pivot mounting absorbs arcing loads while routing filled corrugated boxes between belt lanes.
Raises tiered storage trays in automated vending machines, utilizing the full 750 mm travel to access deep inventory shelves within a compact footprint.
To replace the MAL40X750-CA, order the MBL40X750-CA. Confirm the 40 mm bore, 750 mm non-standard made-to-order stroke, PT thread, and CA pivot back cover. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support a sensor; if you need position detection, order the MBL40X750S-CA and upgrade to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switch family, as the older CS1-M and DS1-M sensors are obsolete.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 32 mm bore yields 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is not available as 40 mm is the largest MAL mini round bore. A plain cylinder does not hold its load when air is lost; the rod drifts, so add an external rod lock for vertical safety. At 750 mm, the 16 mm rod is highly susceptible to bending; pair this CA clevis joint with an external guide or consider the double-rod MBLD to absorb lateral stress. If end-cushioning is inadequate, upgrade to the MBLC series for an adjustable air cushion.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X750-CA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBL40X750-CA, which matches the 40 mm bore, 750 mm stroke, 628 N output force, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design instead of the original threaded covers.
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. It uses a G1/4 port and a 16 mm carbon-steel rod with a 20 um hard chrome plating.
