This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X110SU — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X110SU 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 MAL25X110SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X110SU 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 MBL25X110SU, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X110SU
The AirTAC MAL25X110SU is a discontinued 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 0.5MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL25X110SU, a drop-in alternative that matches the exact bore, stroke, porting, and U flat-end back cover. The MBL upgrades the construction by replacing the MAL's threaded front and rear covers with a riveted rolling-packed body, improving structural rigidity without altering the mounting footprint.
Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it was designed to work with the older CS1-M and DS1-M reed switches for position detection. When upgrading to the MBL25X110SU, you must update your sensing to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switch families. The 10mm carbon-steel rod features a 20um hard-chrome plating and rides on a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide, while a heterogeneous two-way seal retains internal grease for long service life.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X110SU 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 MBL25X110SU 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 MAL25X110SU Is Used
PCB Router Gate
Actuates a routing machine divert gate on a PCB assembly line, using its 245N push force at 0.5MPa to reliably pivot light aluminum fixtures.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds small corrugated carton flaps in a packaging machine, where the 110mm stroke provides the exact travel needed without taking up excessive frame space.
Vial Stopper Press
Cycles a small stopper insertion head in a pharmaceutical vial line, relying on the self-lubricating bearing guide for smooth, clean operation.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X110SU with MBL25X110SU
To replace the MAL25X110SU, order the MBL25X110SU. Confirm your 110mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and the U flat-end rigid back cover. Since this SKU has the -S magnet, plan to swap your legacy CS1-M or DS1-M sensors for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. If your application requires an adjustable air cushion rather than the fixed rubber bumper found on this cylinder, step up to the MBLC series.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to a 20mm bore drops the output to 157N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to a 32mm bore increases it to 402N. At 110mm of travel, the 10mm rod has moderate side-load tolerance, so keep the load axially aligned. A plain MAL or MBL cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load when air pressure is lost; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position holding is required.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X110SU (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 MBL25X110SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X110SU FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X110SU is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X110SU, offering the same 25mm bore, 110mm stroke, G1/8 port, and U flat-end back cover. The MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers, and if you use the -S magnet, you must upgrade from the old CS1-M or DS1-M switches to the CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family.
At 0.5MPa, the 25mm bore provides 245N of push force and 206N of pull force. At 0.7MPa, the push force increases to 343N. The maximum theoretical force is 50kgf at 1.0MPa. It operates at 0.1-1.0MPa with a speed range of 30-800mm/s.
