This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X150SCASDB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X150SCASDB 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 MAL25X150SCASDB
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X150SCASDB 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 MBL25X150SCASDB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X150SCASDB
The AirTAC MAL25X150SCASDB is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder featuring a 25mm bore and 150mm stroke. It delivers 245N push and 206N pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X150SCASDB, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and SDB mounting. This legacy cylinder uses a CA pivot back cover and an SDB pivot bracket to absorb arcing rod loads.
This SKU includes a magnetic piston (-S) for position sensing; the legacy MAL works with CS1-M / DS1-M switches, but the MBL replacement requires CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The original MAL uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the MBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. Both rely on a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping, lacking an adjustable cushion. The piston uses a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, and the 10mm carbon-steel rod has 20um hard chrome plating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X150SCASDB 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 MBL25X150SCASDB 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 MAL25X150SCASDB Is Used
Textile Loom Guide Arm
Drives a 245N oscillating guide arm on a weaving loom, using the CA clevis to accommodate the arcing motion across the 150mm stroke.
Packaging Flap Folder
Pushes corrugated carton flaps at 0.5 MPa, where the 206N pull force reliably retracts the 10mm rod for the next cycle.
PCB Component Loader
Moves electronic trays into a test fixture, relying on the -S magnet and CS1-M switch to confirm the 150mm extension before testing begins.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X150SCASDB with MBL25X150SCASDB
To replace the MAL25X150SCASDB, order the MBL25X150SCASDB. Verify your port thread form (this SKU uses default PT tapered), the CA clevis back cover, and the SDB pivot bracket. Because this unit has the -S magnet, plan to upgrade your CS1-M or DS1-M switches to the CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG family used by the MBL. If you need adjustable air cushioning instead of the fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 157N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32mm bore provides 402N push. At 150mm stroke, the 10mm rod is susceptible to bending under side-loads; the CA pivot and SDB bracket help manage arcing loads, but an external guide rail is recommended for rigid loads. Remember that the rubber bumper only softens the stroke end and does not lock the rod—if air pressure drops, the rod will drift and cannot hold a load without an external pilot-operated check valve.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X150SCASDB (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 MBL25X150SCASDB instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X150SCASDB FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X150SCASDB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X150SCASDB, offering the same 25mm bore, 150mm stroke, 245N push force, G1/8 port, CA pivot cover, and SDB bracket. You must upgrade your sensors, as the MBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M.
At 0.5 MPa, the 25mm bore delivers 245N push and 206N pull. At 0.7 MPa, push force is 343N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
