This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X750-U — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X750-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-U (Discontinued) → MBL40X750-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-U, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X750-U is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and a 750mm non-standard made-to-order stroke. It delivers 628N of push force and 528N of pull force at 0.5MPa, utilizing a G1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod-end thread. The direct drop-in replacement is the MBL40X750-U, which matches the exact bore, stroke, 128kgf maximum force, port size, and flat-end mounting.
This legacy MAL cylinder features threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body for equally robust performance. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support a position sensor. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, though an adjustable air cushion is only available on the current MBLC line.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X750-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 MBL40X750-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.

Actuates a 750mm diverter gate on a packaging conveyor, using the 628N push force to redirect heavy goods onto a secondary line.
Shifts a large textile beam 750mm into the loom cradle, relying on the rigid U flat-end back cover to maintain alignment under high axial load.
Pushes loaded storage trays deep into high-density racking, where the 880N force at 0.7MPa overcomes initial rolling friction over the long stroke.
To replace the MAL40X750-U, order the MBL40X750-U and verify your 40mm bore, 750mm stroke, G1/4 port, and PT thread form. Confirm the U flat-end back cover for your rigid mounting setup. Since this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot hold a sensor; if you need position detection, upgrade to an MBL40X750S-U and switch from the old CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family. If 628N at 0.5MPa is too much force, step down to the 32mm bore (402N push); if you need more, note that 40mm is the largest available mini round bore in this series. Because the 750mm stroke exceeds the 500mm standard maximum, it is a non-standard made-to-order part. The 16mm carbon-steel rod with 20um hard chrome plating has low side-load tolerance, so a 750mm extension requires an external guide rail to prevent rod bending. Remember that the fixed rubber bumper softens impact but does not lock the load; air loss will cause drift, so use an external rod lock for position holding.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the AirTAC MAL40X750-U is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X750-U, offering the same 40mm bore, 750mm stroke, 628N push force at 0.5MPa, G1/4 port, and flat-end U back cover. You can order the MBL equivalent as a direct fit.
At 0.5MPa it provides 628N push and 528N pull force, 880N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The fixed rubber bumper only softens end-of-stroke impact; it does not lock the load, so the rod will drift if air pressure is lost.
