This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X750-S-U — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X750-S-U 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-U (Discontinued) → MBL40X750-S-U 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-U, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X750-S-U is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and 750mm stroke. Because 750mm exceeds the 500mm standard, this is a made-to-order unit. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X750-S-U, matching the force, G1/4 port, and flat-end U cover.
This legacy unit features a -S magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M switches; upgrading to the MBL means switching to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The original MAL uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, but for adjustable cushioning, the current MBLC line is required.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X750-S-U carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The MBL40X750-S-U 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.

Uses the 880N push at 0.7MPa to clear deep-cavity injection molds, where the 750mm travel handles multi-stage ejection of long plastic parts.
Provides the 628N force at 0.5MPa needed to shove heavy pallets across a transfer section, utilizing the full 750mm reach to clear the conveyor lane.
Lifts stacks of component trays using the 528N pull force, though an external guide is mandatory to prevent the 16mm rod from bending over the 750mm extension.
To replace the MAL40X750-S-U, order the MBL40X750-S-U. Verify the 40mm bore, 750mm non-standard stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and the U flat-end back cover. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, plan to replace your old CS1-M/DS1-M switches with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. If you need adjustable air cushioning instead of the fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC variant.
At 0.5MPa, this 40mm bore yields 628N of push force. If you need less force, the 32mm neighbor provides 402N. If you need more, note that 40mm is the largest MAL size, so stepping up requires a different cylinder family entirely. Because the stroke is 750mm, the 16mm carbon-steel rod is highly susceptible to bending under side-loads; always use an external guide or a pivot mount to prevent rod damage. Remember, a plain MAL/MBL does not hold a load when air is lost—the rod drifts, so use an external rod lock for vertical applications.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X750-S-U is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X750-S-U, offering the same 40mm bore, 750mm stroke, 628N push force at 0.5MPa, G1/4 port, and flat-end U back cover. You must upgrade your sensors from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
The 40mm bore provides 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 880N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. It has a 16mm carbon-steel rod, an M12x1.25 rod-end thread, a G1/4 port, and a fixed rubber bumper.
