This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X750-S-CM-H — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X750-S-CM-H 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 MAL40X750-S-CM-H (Discontinued) -> MBL40X750-S-CM-H 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 drop-in replacement is the MBL40X750-S-CM-H, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X750-S-CM-H is a discontinued, double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a non-standard 750mm made-to-order stroke. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, utilizing a G1/4 port and a 16mm carbon-steel rod with 20um hard-chrome plating. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X750-S-CM-H, matching the bore, stroke, force, and mounting exactly.
This SKU includes a -S magnet for position sensing and a CM round-end back cover. Upgrading to the MBL changes the body from threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed design, and the sensor family shifts from the legacy CS1-M / DS1-M to the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches. The MAL relies on a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping, whereas the current MBLC line offers an adjustable air cushion.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X750-S-CM-H carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X750-S-CM-H 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.
Pushes lightweight cartons across a 750mm transfer belt with 628N at 0.5MPa, using the long stroke to bridge adjacent conveyor lanes.
Extends fully to shift a fabric beam downstream, where the CM round-end back cover accommodates minor angular misalignment during the 750mm traversal.
Lifts stacked product trays in a packaging cell, requiring the -S magnet and CS1-M / DS1-M switches to verify the full 750mm extension height.
To replace this MAL40X750-S-CM-H, order the MBL40X750-S-CM-H. Confirm the G1/4 port, PT thread form, CM round-end back cover, and the -S magnet requirement before ordering. If your application needs adjustable cushioning instead of the fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC40 equivalent on the current line. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold its load when air is lost; the bumper only softens impact, so add an external rod lock for vertical safety.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 32mm bore drops the 0.5MPa push force to 402N, while stepping up is not an option as 40mm is the largest MAL/MBL mini round bore. Because this is a 750mm stroke on a 16mm rod, side-load tolerance is very low; you must use an external guide rail or a pivot mount to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL series is end-of-life. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X750-S-CM-H, offering the same 40mm bore, 750mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CM round-end mounting. The MBL body uses a riveted rolling-packed design instead of threaded covers, and the -S magnet now requires CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M / DS1-M sensors.
At 0.5MPa, the push force is 628N and the pull force is 528N. At 0.7MPa, the push force increases to 880N. The maximum theoretical force is 128kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this unit has a 750mm stroke, an external guide is strongly recommended to prevent rod bending under these loads.
