This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X110CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X110CA 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 MAL25X110CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X110CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 110mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X110CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X110CA
The AirTAC MAL25X110CA is a discontinued compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and 110mm stroke. It delivers 245N of push force and 206N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for medium-duty small-part manipulation. Because this legacy series has reached end-of-life, AirTAC replaced it with the MBL25X110CA—a drop-in alternative retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting.
This specific SKU features a CA pivot (clevis) back cover designed to swing on a pin, accommodating arcing loads rather than rigid fixed-plane motion. The original MAL body utilizes threaded front and back covers, whereas the MBL replacement upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body. Furthermore, this unit lacks a -S magnet, meaning it cannot accept any position sensor. The piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, paired with a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide to support the Ø10mm carbon-steel rod plated with 20µm hard chrome.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X110CA 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 MBL25X110CA 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 MAL25X110CA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Drives a 110mm thread guide arm on a weaving machine, utilizing the 245N push force to shift yarn carriers while the CA clevis absorbs the pivot arc.
Pouch Sealing Flap
Extends 110mm to fold and press cardboard packaging flaps on a packaging line, relying on the 206N pull force to retract the arm rapidly.
PCB Router Gate
Actuates a routing gate on a PCB depaneling conveyor, where the self-lubricating bearing guide ensures smooth travel for the 110mm stroke.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X110CA with MBL25X110CA
To replace the MAL25X110CA, order the MBL25X110CA and verify your CA pivot pin clearance. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support a position sensor; if you previously required detection, you must order the MBL25X110CAS and note that the MBL upgrade requires current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M or DS1-M sensors. The standard PT thread form remains the default.
If you need to step down, the neighboring 20mm bore provides 157N of push at 0.5 MPa. Stepping up to the 32mm bore yields 402N. Keep in mind that a plain MAL or MBL does not hold its position when air is lost—the rod drifts, as the fixed rubber bumper only softens the stroke end, acting as a shock absorber rather than a lock. If your application requires end-of-stroke deceleration beyond a bumper, consider the current MBLC line which offers an adjustable air cushion the MAL never had.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X110CA (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 MBL25X110CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X110CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X110CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X110CA, which matches the 25mm bore, 110mm stroke, CA pivot cover, G1/8 port, and 50 kgf maximum force. The MBL upgrades the body from threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed design.
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 245N push and 206N pull force; at 0.7 MPa, push is 343N, 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.
