This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X110SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X110SCM 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 MAL25X110SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X110SCM 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 MBL25X110SCM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X110SCM
The AirTAC MAL25X110SCM is a discontinued compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and 110mm stroke. Delivering 245N of push force at 0.5MPa, it features a built-in magnet and a CM round-end back cover. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL25X110SCM, a drop-in alternative retaining the exact same force, G1/8 port, and mounting interface.
This original MAL body relies on threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL replacement utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body for equally robust performance. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it was designed for the older CS1-M and DS1-M reed switches; upgrading to the MBL means transitioning to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families. The piston employs a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, paired with a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide to support the Ø10mm carbon-steel rod.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X110SCM 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 MBL25X110SCM 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 MAL25X110SCM Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Provides 245N of push force at 0.5MPa to actuate the clamping arm on a depaneling router, securely holding circuit boards during the routing cut.
Pouch Sealing Jaw
Closes the heat-sealing jaw on a vertical form-fill-seal machine, using the 110mm stroke to clear the packaging film path during product loading.
Pick-and-Place Lifter
Drives the vertical Z-axis lift on a small electronic component pick-and-place head, where the compact 25mm body fits neatly between neighboring nozzles.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X110SCM with MBL25X110SCM
To replace the MAL25X110SCM, order the MBL25X110SCM. Verify your 25mm bore, 110mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end back cover. The -S magnet carries over, but you must swap any legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. If your application requires an adjustable air cushion rather than the standard fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold its load when air pressure drops; add an external rod lock for vertical safety.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 157N of push force at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 32mm bore provides 402N. At 110mm of stroke, the 10mm rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending; use the CM round-end cover with a mating clevis to accommodate arcing motion, or install an external guide rail to prevent premature seal wear.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X110SCM (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 MBL25X110SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X110SCM FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X110SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X110SCM, which matches the 25mm bore, 110mm stroke, 245N push force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end cover. You simply order the MBL25X110SCM as a direct fit.
At 0.5MPa it provides 245N push and 206N pull; at 0.7MPa push is 343N, with a maximum theoretical force of 50kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this model has the -S magnet, it works with older CS1-M and DS1-M switches; the MBL25X110SCM replacement requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
