This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X1000SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X1000SCM 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).
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X1000SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X1000SCM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 1000mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X1000SCM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X1000SCM
The AirTAC MAL25X1000SCM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25 mm bore and a 1000 mm made-to-order stroke. It delivers 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL25X1000SCM, a drop-in alternative retaining the exact bore, stroke, output, G1/8 port, and CM round-end mounting interface.
This SKU includes a magnetic piston (-S) for position detection and a CM round-end back cover. The original MAL relied on threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL body utilizes a riveted rolling-packed assembly. Furthermore, the MAL -S magnet pairs with older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches, while the MBL successor requires modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X1000SCM carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø25mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 245 N | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 50 kgf | |
The MBL25X1000SCM 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.

Where the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X1000SCM Is Used
PCB Edge Conveyor Routing
Pushes routed printed circuit boards laterally across a long 1000 mm transfer station using 245 N of force at 0.5 MPa.
Textile Bobbin Transfer
Extends 1 meter to shuttle empty yarn bobbins into a winding machine, utilizing the CM round-end cover to accommodate slight trajectory arcs.
Foam Cutting Head Positioning
Moves a lightweight hot-wire cutting assembly across a wide block of packaging foam, requiring the 25 mm bore's compact profile.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X1000SCM with MBL25X1000SCM
To replace this discontinued cylinder, order the MBL25X1000SCM. Verify your porting (PT thread standard on this unit), the CM round-end back cover, and prepare for a sensor family change: legacy CS1-M/DS1-M switches must be upgraded to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG electronics for the new body. If you need to step down force, the 20 mm bore provides 157 N push at 0.5 MPa; if you need more power, the 32 mm bore yields 402 N.
Because this 1000 mm stroke far exceeds the 500 mm standard, it is a non-standard, made-to-order item. A 10 mm piston rod driving a 1-meter span has very low side-load tolerance and is highly susceptible to rod bending. You must use an external guide rail to support the load. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts but cannot hold the load in place if air pressure drops—install an external rod lock for vertical or gravity-loaded applications. If end-of-travel shock is too severe, consider the current MBLC series which adds an adjustable air cushion.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X1000SCM (same bore/stroke/force)
- ✓ Same G1/8 port and mounting accessories
- ✓ Sensor: swap CS1-M/DS1-M → CMSG/DMSG/EMSG
- ✓ Need a cushion? use MBLC (adjustable air cushion)
- ✓ Confirm back cover (CA / U) and thread (PT/NPT/G)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.1 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Front/rear covers are threaded — not intended for field disassembly.
- check Use the correct mounting accessory (LB / FA / SDB) and back cover (CA / U / CM).
- check For new builds, specify the MBL25X1000SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X1000SCM FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X1000SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X1000SCM, which matches the 25 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end mounting. You will need to update your position sensors, as the older CS1-M/DS1-M switches are replaced by CMSG/DMSG/EMSG models on the MBL.
At 0.5 MPa, this cylinder provides 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 343 N, with a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 10 mm carbon-steel rod with a 20 um hard-chrome plating and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread.
