This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL40X760SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL40X760SCA 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 MAL40X760SCA (Discontinued) -> MBL40X760SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 760mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL40X760SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC MAL40X760SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 40mm bore and a 760mm non-standard made-to-order stroke. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, utilizing a G1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod-end thread. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X760SCA, matching the original force, port, and mounting footprint exactly.
This legacy unit features a CA pivot clevis back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads, which is critical for a 760mm stroke. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The built-in -S magnet on this MAL works with older CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBL successor transitions to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL40X760SCA carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.

The MBL40X760SCA 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.

Drives a pivoting drum on a packaging line conveyor using 880N push at 0.7MPa, leveraging the CA clevis to accommodate the lateral arc of the 760mm stroke.
Cycles a heavy machine tool safety door across a 760mm span, relying on the 628N thrust at 0.5MPa and the self-lubricating bearing guide to prevent rod chatter.
Raises a light goods lift carriage in a tight assembly cell, using the 528N pull force at 0.5MPa to retract the extended rod safely under load.
To replace the MAL40X760SCA, order the MBL40X760SCA, confirming the 40mm bore, 760mm stroke, G1/4 port, and PT thread form. You must also account for the CA pivot back cover and the -S magnet, noting that the MBL successor requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-M or DS1-M sensors. If an adjustable air cushion is required for this long stroke, step up to the MBLC variant, as the MAL only offers a fixed rubber bumper.
Because 760mm exceeds the 500mm maximum standard stroke, this is a non-standard, made-to-order length. At this extension, the 16mm carbon-steel rod with 20um hard chrome plating has low side-load tolerance, so an external guide is mandatory to prevent rod bending. If you need to adjust force, stepping down to the 32mm bore yields 402N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 50mm bore provides greater thrust. Remember that a plain MBL does not hold its position when air is lost; the bumper only softens the end of stroke, so use an external rod lock for suspended loads.
Upgrade checklist
Yes, the MAL40X760SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL40X760SCA, which matches the 40mm bore, 760mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CA pivot mounting. The new MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers, and if you use the -S magnet, you must upgrade from the old CS1-M or DS1-M switches to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
The 40mm bore provides a push force of 628N and a pull force of 528N at 0.5MPa, 880N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping, not an adjustable cushion; if you need adjustable damping, look at the current MBLC line.
