This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X100CASDB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X100CASDB 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 MAL25X100CASDB
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X100CASDB is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 100mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X100CASDB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X100CASDB
The AirTAC MAL25X100CASDB is a discontinued compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder delivering 245 N push and 206 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. It features a 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and a CA pivot back cover paired with an SDB pivot bracket for arcing loads. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X100CASDB, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and mounting.
This legacy MAL model uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept a position sensor. The piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, and the carbon-steel rod has 20 um hard chrome plating for wear resistance.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X100CASDB 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 MBL25X100CASDB 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 MAL25X100CASDB Is Used
Pouch Sealing Jaws
Drives the pivoting sealing jaws on a vertical form-fill-seal machine, using the 245 N push force to crimp packaging film at 100 mm stroke.
Diverter Gate Actuator
Swings a sorting flap on a conveyor line via the SDB pivot bracket, redirecting small boxes into packing chutes.
Textile Guide Mechanism
Pivots a yarn guide arm on a loom, relying on the CA clevis to accommodate the arcing travel path smoothly.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X100CASDB with MBL25X100CASDB
To replace the MAL25X100CASDB, order the MBL25X100CASDB. Verify your 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT thread. The CA pivot back cover and SDB bracket swing on a pin to absorb arcing loads, making it ideal for linkages. If you need end-of-stroke sensing, you must step up to an -S version, which will change your sensor family from the legacy CS1-M / DS1-M to the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches. If a cushion is needed, the MAL only has a fixed rubber bumper; the current MBLC line offers an adjustable air cushion. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold a load when air is lost—use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
For sizing, if 206 N pull at 0.5 MPa is too much, step down to the 20 mm bore offering 132 N pull. If you need more force, step up to the 32 mm bore providing 346 N pull. At 100 mm stroke, side-load tolerance is moderate due to the 10 mm rod; ensure the CA clevis aligns perfectly to prevent rod binding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X100CASDB (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 MBL25X100CASDB instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X100CASDB FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X100CASDB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X100CASDB, offering the same 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 245 N push force, G1/8 port, and CA/SDB pivot mounting. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 245 N push and 206 N pull force; at 0.7 MPa, push is 343 N, with a maximum theoretical force of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor.
