This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X150SCAH — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X150SCAH 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 MAL25X150SCAH
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X150SCAH is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 150mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X150SCAH, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X150SCAH
The AirTAC MAL25X150SCAH is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and 150mm stroke. It delivers 245N of push force and 206N of pull force at 0.5MPa, utilizing a G1/8 port and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X150SCAH, which matches the bore, stroke, output force, port size, and mounting accessories for a seamless swap.
This legacy SKU features a CA pivot back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads, alongside a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing. The older MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, the -S magnet on this MAL works with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches, but upgrading to the MBL means transitioning to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family. The internal piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, and the carbon-steel rod has 20um hard-chrome plating for wear resistance.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X150SCAH 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 MBL25X150SCAH 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 MAL25X150SCAH Is Used
Textile Loom Doffing
Drives the arcing doffing arm on a textile loom, using the CA pivot to accommodate the swing path while moving yarn bobbins with 245N of push force at 0.5MPa.
Packaging Flap Folder
Folds cardboard flaps on a compact packaging conveyor where the 150mm stroke provides the exact travel needed to clear passing cartons.
PCB Router Ejection
Pushes cut printed circuit boards out of a routing fixture, relying on the -S magnet and a CS1-M switch to confirm the ejection completed before the next panel loads.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X150SCAH with MBL25X150SCAH
To replace the discontinued MAL25X150SCAH, order the MBL25X150SCAH, ensuring you keep the CA pivot back cover, -S magnet, and PT thread. If you need to step down, the 20mm bore neighbor provides 157N push at 0.5MPa; if you need more force, the 32mm bore offers 402N push. Note that a plain MAL or MBL does not hold its load when air is lost, as the fixed rubber bumper only softens the end of stroke rather than locking the rod. If adjustable cushioning is required for this 150mm stroke, look at the MBLC variant on the current line, since the MAL only offers a fixed rubber bumper. At 150mm, the 10mm rod has low side-load tolerance, so the CA clevis is essential for arcing paths, or use an external guide to prevent rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X150SCAH (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 MBL25X150SCAH instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X150SCAH FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X150SCAH is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X150SCAH, which matches the 25mm bore, 150mm stroke, 245N push force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. You must update your sensors, as the MBL uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M or DS1-M.
At 0.5MPa, the push force is 245N and the pull force is 206N. At 0.7MPa, the push force is 343N. The theoretical maximum force is 50kgf at 1.0MPa. It operates at speeds from 30 to 800mm/s, and the rod is 10mm with an M10x1.25 thread.
