This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X140SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X140SCM 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 MAL25X140SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X140SCM 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 MBL25X140SCM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X140SCM
The AirTAC MAL25X140SCM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and 140mm stroke. It delivers 245N of push force at 0.5MPa. The direct drop-in replacement is the MBL25X140SCM, which matches the bore, stroke, force, and G1/8 port size exactly.
This legacy SKU features a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing and a CM round-end back cover. The older MAL body uses threaded front and rear covers, whereas the current MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body for equivalent durability. Additionally, the -S magnet on this MAL pairs with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while upgrading to the MBL requires the newer CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family. The 10mm carbon-steel rod features a 20um hard-chrome plating, supported by a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide that retains grease via a heterogeneous two-way seal.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X140SCM 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 MBL25X140SCM 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 MAL25X140SCM Is Used
Packaging Conveyor Diverter
Pushes small cardboard cartons at 245N of force using the CM round-end pivot to accommodate the slight angular arc of the diverter arm.
PCB Component Insertion
Drives a 140mm stroke to press electronic connectors into boards, relying on the -S magnet to trigger a DS1-M switch at the exact insertion depth.
Bin Tap Dispenser
Taps the side of small parts hoppers to prevent powder bridging, using the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the repetitive impact at the end of stroke.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X140SCM with MBL25X140SCM
To replace this MAL25X140SCM, order the MBL25X140SCM. Confirm your 25mm bore, 140mm stroke, CM round-end back cover, PT tapered port thread, and the -S magnet requirement. Because the MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers, you will also need to update your sensor stock from the legacy CS1-M / DS1-M switches to the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG series. The MAL relies on a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke impact, so if your application needs adjustable cushioning, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line.
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 140mm of stroke, the 10mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads, so utilize the CM round-end cover with a mating clevis to accommodate arcing motions. Remember that a standard bumper does not lock the rod; if air pressure drops, the load will drift unless you add an external pilot-operated check valve or rod lock.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X140SCM (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 MBL25X140SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X140SCM FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X140SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X140SCM, which matches the 25mm bore, 140mm stroke, CM round-end cover, and G1/8 port. You will need to update your sensors, as the MBL uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M or DS1-M.
The 25mm bore provides 245N push and 206N pull at 0.5MPa, 343N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 50kgf at 1.0MPa. The port size is G1/8.
