This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X200-CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X200-CA 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 MAL25X200-CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200-CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 200mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X200-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200-CA
The AirTAC MAL25X200-CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and 200mm stroke. It delivers 245N push and 206N pull at 0.5MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL25X200-CA, a drop-in alternative retaining the exact 10mm rod, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting.
This SKU features a CA pivot clevis back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads. Without a -S magnet, this specific cylinder cannot accept a position sensor. The original MAL uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Both rely on a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X200-CA 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 MBL25X200-CA 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 MAL25X200-CA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Actuates a thread guide arm on a weaving loom, utilizing the 245N push force and CA pivot to accommodate the mechanism's slight arcing swing.
Bottle Diverter Gate
Pushes a lightweight routing flap on a packaging conveyor, where the 200mm stroke provides full lane separation for passing containers.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds secondary minor flaps on a small carton erector, relying on the compact aluminum body to fit within tight machine guarding.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200-CA with MBL25X200-CA
To replace this MAL25X200-CA, order the MBL25X200-CA. Verify your 200mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, and CA clevis. Because this SKU lacks an -S magnet, it cannot support a sensor; if you need position detection, step up to an MBL25X200-S-CA and migrate to the modern CMSG or DMSG switches from the older CS1-M family. If a cushion is required for end-of-stroke shock, look at the MBLC variant on the current line.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 157N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 32mm bore provides 402N push. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so fit an external rod lock for held loads. At 200mm stroke, the 10mm rod has low side-load tolerance; use the CA pivot to absorb misalignment or add an external guide.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X200-CA (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 MBL25X200-CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200-CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X200-CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X200-CA, matching the 25mm bore, 200mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed structure from the original threaded covers.
At 0.5MPa it provides 245N push and 206N pull, rising to 343N push at 0.7MPa with a theoretical max of 50kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks an -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor.
