This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X190SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X190SCM 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 MAL25X190SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X190SCM 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 MBL25X190SCM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X190SCM
The AirTAC MAL25X190SCM is a discontinued compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and 190mm stroke, delivering 245N push and 206N pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X190SCM, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end back cover. This legacy unit features a fixed rubber bumper and a 10mm carbon-steel rod with 20um hard-chrome plating.
A key upgrade detail is that the original MAL uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body for the same ratings. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it originally worked with CS1-M / DS1-M switches; the MBL successor transitions to the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensor family. The self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide and heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal extend operational life.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X190SCM 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 MBL25X190SCM 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 MAL25X190SCM Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router Gates
Cycles a small routing gate on a PCB depaneling machine, using the 245N push force to separate routed daughter boards with precise 190mm travel.
Carton Labeling Arm
Extends a label applicator arm across a packaging line, relying on the 190mm stroke and CM round-end back cover to pivot smoothly into the labeling position.
Diagnostic Cartridge Ejector
Pushes test cartridges out of a diagnostic analyzer slot, where the compact 25mm aluminum body fits tight clearances and the 206N pull retracts the ejector pin.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X190SCM with MBL25X190SCM
To replace the MAL25X190SCM, order the MBL25X190SCM, ensuring you keep the 25mm bore, 190mm stroke, PT threaded G1/8 port, CM round-end back cover, and -S magnet. Note the sensor family change from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. If you need to step down, the 20mm bore provides 157N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the 32mm bore yields 402N push. The fixed rubber bumper is not an adjustable cushion—if you need end-of-stroke deceleration, look at the MBLC variant on the current line. A plain cylinder does not hold its load when air is lost, so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for safety. At 190mm stroke, the 10mm rod has low side-load tolerance; use an external guide to prevent rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X190SCM (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 MBL25X190SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X190SCM FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X190SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X190SCM, matching the 25mm bore, 190mm stroke, 245N force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end cover. You must update your sensor choice from the older CS1-M / DS1-M switches to the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG family.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 245N and the pull force is 206N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 343N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.1-1.0 MPa.
