This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X10SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X10SCM 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 MAL25X10SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X10SCM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 10mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X10SCM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X10SCM
The AirTAC MAL25X10SCM is a discontinued compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 10mm stroke. It delivers 245N push and 206N pull force at 0.5MPa, utilizing a G1/8 port and a Ø10mm carbon-steel rod with 20um hard-chrome plating. Because this legacy series is end-of-life, the direct drop-in replacement is the MBL25X10SCM, matching the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and CM round-end mounting.
This specific SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) and a CM round-end back cover. The older MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body for structural integrity. If you rely on position detection, the MAL -S magnet pairs with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches, but upgrading to the MBL requires switching to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X10SCM 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 MBL25X10SCM 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 MAL25X10SCM Is Used
PCB Component Placement
Uses the 245N push force at 0.5MPa and 10mm stroke to push small electronic relays into densely populated circuit boards within tight machinery.
Sensor Bracket Trimming
Actuates a precision shear to trim plastic sensor brackets, where the short 10mm stroke and CM round-end pivot prevent overtravel damage.
Bottle Deflection Gate
Pivots a small guide rail to divert small pharmaceutical bottles on a conveyor, relying on the self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide for smooth 10mm movements.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X10SCM with MBL25X10SCM
To replace the MAL25X10SCM, order the MBL25X10SCM, ensuring you keep the PT thread, CM round-end back cover, and the -S magnet. The CM round-end accommodates arcing movements better than a rigid flat-end U cover. If you need to adjust force, stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 157N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 32mm bore provides 402N push at 0.5MPa. The 10mm stroke is highly compact, but note that a plain cylinder does not hold its load when air is lost; the rod drifts, and the fixed rubber bumper only softens the stroke end, acting as no lock. If end-of-stroke cushioning is critical, look at the MBLC variant on the current line, as the MAL lacks adjustable cushions.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X10SCM (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 MBL25X10SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X10SCM FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X10SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X10SCM, which shares the same 25mm bore, 10mm stroke, G1/8 port, CM round-end cover, and -S magnet. You just order the MBL equivalent.
At 0.5MPa, the push force is 245N and pull is 206N. At 0.7MPa, push is 343N, with a maximum theoretical force of 50kgf at 1.0MPa. The -S magnet works with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches on the MAL, but the MBL replacement requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
