This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X750U — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X750U 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 MAL40X750U (Discontinued) → MBL40X750U 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 MBL40X750U, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X750U is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and a 750mm stroke. As a made-to-order non-standard stroke exceeding the 500mm standard limit, it delivers a robust 628N push force at 0.5MPa. The direct drop-in replacement is the MBL40X750U, which matches the exact bore, stroke, output force, G1/4 port, and U flat-end back cover for a seamless retrofit.
This legacy SKU lacks a magnet (-S), meaning it cannot support a position sensor. The original MAL utilizes threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Both share a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion, and rely on a carbon-steel rod with 20um hard-chrome plating guided by a self-lubricating front-cover bearing.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X750U 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 MBL40X750U 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.

Pushes routing gates along 750mm travel in electronics assembly lines, utilizing the 628N push force at 0.5MPa to reliably shift heavy fiberboard panels.
Acts as a rigid U-mount end-stop for accumulating heavy product pallets, relying on the 40mm bore's 880N push at 0.7MPa to hold against continuous belt friction.
Transfers packaged goods across a wide 750mm gap in packaging machinery, where the 128kgf maximum theoretical force easily overcomes carton sliding resistance.
To replace the MAL40X750U, order the MBL40X750U, ensuring you keep the PT port thread, G1/4 port size, and the U flat-end back cover for rigid mounting. Because this 750mm stroke is non-standard and exceeds 500mm, it is manufactured to special order. At this length, the 16mm rod has low side-load tolerance; you must use an external guide to prevent rod bending. Stepping down, the 32mm bore offers 402N push at 0.5MPa; stepping up is not available as 40mm is the largest MAL mini round size. Note that this SKU has no -S magnet, so no sensor can be used. If adjustable cushioning is required instead of the fixed bumper, upgrade to the MBLC line. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock for suspended loads.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X750U is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X750U, offering the same 40mm bore, 750mm stroke, G1/4 port, and U flat-end cover. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design instead of the original threaded covers.
At 0.5MPa it provides 628N push and 528N pull; at 0.7MPa it provides 880N push, with a maximum theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CS1-M or DS1-M position sensors.
