This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X140SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X140SCA 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 MAL25X140SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X140SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 140mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X140SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X140SCA
The AirTAC MAL25X140SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and 140mm stroke. It delivers 245N of push force and 206N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X140SCA, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting.
This legacy SKU features a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection and a CA pivot clevis back cover that swings on a pin to absorb arcing loads. The older MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, the -S magnet on this MAL works with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches, but migrating to the MBL requires updating to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X140SCA 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 MBL25X140SCA 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 MAL25X140SCA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Drives a 140mm yarn guide arm with 245N push force, relying on the CA pivot clevis to absorb the loom's rhythmic arcing motion without binding.
Bottle Divert Gate
Actuates a sorting flap on a packaging line, where the -S magnet and legacy CS1-M switch trigger the next fill station 140mm away.
Carton Pusher
Ejects small cardboard cartons from a roller table, utilizing the self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide to handle high 30-800 mm/s cycle speeds.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X140SCA with MBL25X140SCA
To replace the MAL25X140SCA, order the MBL25X140SCA. Confirm your 10mm rod-end thread (M10x1.25) and the default PT tapered port thread match your fittings. The CA pivot back cover is essential for arcing motion, but if your machine requires rigid fixed alignment, step up to the 32mm bore (402N push at 0.5 MPa) for higher force, or step down to the 20mm bore (157N push) for lighter loads.
With a 140mm stroke, the 10mm rod is vulnerable to bending under side loads; use an external guide rail to prevent premature seal wear. This cylinder uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion—order the MBLC variant if end-of-stroke deceleration is required. A plain cylinder does not hold its load when air pressure drops; install an external rod lock for vertical safety.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X140SCA (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 MBL25X140SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X140SCA FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC MAL25X140SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X140SCA, which shares the same 25mm bore, 140mm stroke, 50 kgf max force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. You only need to update your sensors from the older CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
The 25mm bore generates 245N push and 206N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at 0.1-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
