This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X750SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X750SCA 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 MAL40X750SCA (Discontinued) -> MBL40X750SCA 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 MBL40X750SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X750SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for a 40mm bore and a 750mm stroke. Because 750mm exceeds the 500mm standard limit, this is a made-to-order non-standard stroke length. It delivers a robust 628N push force at 0.5MPa and uses a G1/4 port paired with a 16mm carbon-steel rod plated with 20um hard chrome. The CA pivot back cover is designed to swing on a pin, accommodating arcing motion across the long travel distance.
As a direct drop-in replacement, order the MBL40X750SCA, which matches the bore, stroke, output force, port size, and CA mounting exactly. The legacy MAL body relies on threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, the -S magnet on this unit functions with the older CS1-M and DS1-M switches, while the MBL successor transitions to the current CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensor families.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X750SCA 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 MBL40X750SCA 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.

Leverages the 628N push at 0.5MPa to divert heavy pallets onto a secondary conveyor line, utilizing the CA pivot to absorb lateral stress during the 750mm arc.
Uses the 880N thrust at 0.7MPa to push populated board trays across a long 750mm transfer gap while the self-lubricating bearing guide prevents rod binding.
Employs the 128kgf maximum theoretical force to shift heavy fabric rolls onto a winding station, where the CA clevis accommodates the changing load angle over the extended stroke.
To replace the MAL40X750SCA, specify the MBL40X750SCA to retain the 40mm bore, 750mm non-standard stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot back cover. If your application requires less force, step down to the 32mm bore offering 402N push at 0.5MPa; if you need more power, the 40mm is the largest available in this mini series. Because this 750mm stroke creates a long lever arm on the 16mm rod, side-load tolerance is low, so an external guide or the CA pivot is mandatory to prevent rod bending. Remember that the fixed rubber bumper only softens end-of-stroke impacts and is not an adjustable cushion; for deceleration control, upgrade to the MBLC. Furthermore, a plain cylinder does not hold loads when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for safety. Finally, the -S magnet requires updating your sensors from the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X750SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X750SCA, which matches the 40mm bore, 750mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. You must also update your sensors from the older CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
The 40mm bore utilizes a G1/4 port and a 16mm rod. It generates 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 880N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The 750mm stroke is a non-standard made-to-order length.
