This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X190SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X190SCA 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 MAL25X190SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X190SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 190mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X190SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X190SCA
The AirTAC MAL25X190SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and 190mm stroke, delivering 245N of push force at 0.5MPa. It features a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing and a CA pivot back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing loads. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X190SCA, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and mounting.
Two key engineering differences define the upgrade path. First, the legacy MAL uses threaded front and back covers on the barrel, whereas the current MBL utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body for a more compact, leak-resistant assembly. Second, the -S magnet on this MAL functions with the older CS1-M and DS1-M reed switches; if you transition to the MBL25X190SCA, you must update to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X190SCA 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 MBL25X190SCA 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 MAL25X190SCA Is Used
Pouch Packaging Diverter
Uses the 245N push force at 0.5MPa to swing a lightweight sorting gate on a packaging line, with the CA pivot absorbing the arcing motion of the arm.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Moves a yarn tensioning jig through 190mm of travel, relying on the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining seal to maintain smooth friction at high cycle rates.
PCB Tray Ejector
Pushes populated circuit board trays out of a test fixture, where the self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide prevents rod binding during horizontal extension.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X190SCA with MBL25X190SCA
To replace the MAL25X190SCA, order the MBL25X190SCA. Verify your 25mm bore, 190mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, and CA pivot back cover. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, plan to upgrade your position sensors from the legacy CS1-M or DS1-M to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches used on the MBL. If your load requires end-of-stroke deceleration that the fixed rubber bumper cannot provide, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line for an adjustable air cushion.
For sizing flexibility, the neighboring 20mm bore provides 157N of push at 0.5MPa if you need a lighter touch, while the 32mm bore offers 402N if your application demands more power. At 190mm of stroke, the 10mm carbon-steel rod (with 20um hard chrome plating) has limited side-load tolerance; rely on the CA clevis to absorb arcing moments or add an external guide. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so use an external rod lock for fail-safe load holding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X190SCA (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 MBL25X190SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X190SCA FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X190SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X190SCA, which matches the 25mm bore, 190mm stroke, CA pivot mounting, G1/8 port, and output force. You only need to update the position sensors from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the new CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
At 0.5MPa, the push force is 245N and the pull force is 206N. At 0.7MPa, the push force is 343N. The maximum theoretical force is 50kgf at 1.0MPa.
