This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X200-CM-LB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X200-CM-LB 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-CM-LB
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200-CM-LB 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-CM-LB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200-CM-LB
The AirTAC MAL25X200-CM-LB is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and 200mm stroke, delivering 245N of push force at 0.5MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL25X200-CM-LB, a drop-in upgrade retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and LB foot mounting. The original MAL features a threaded front and back cover assembly, whereas the current MBL body utilizes a riveted rolling-packed construction for equally robust performance.
This specific configuration includes a CM round-end back cover and a standard PT tapered port thread. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accommodate a position sensor. The piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, paired with a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide to support the Ø10mm carbon-steel rod with 20µm hard-chrome plating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X200-CM-LB 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-CM-LB 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-CM-LB Is Used
PCB Conveyor Divert Gate
Actuates a lightweight routing flap on an electronics assembly line, using the 245N push force to redirect printed circuit boards at 0.5MPa without overpowering the delicate panels.
Carton Labeling Stopper
Extends 200mm to halt small packaging cartons on a gravity roller conveyor, where the LB foot mount and CM round-end back cover accommodate slight frame variations.
Textile Yarn Tensioner
Cycles continuously to position a yarn guide bar in a weaving machine, relying on the self-lubricating bearing to maintain smooth motion across the 200mm travel.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200-CM-LB with MBL25X200-CM-LB
To replace the MAL25X200-CM-LB, order the exact MBL25X200-CM-LB drop-in equivalent. Verify your 25mm bore, 200mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CM round-end back cover, and LB foot mounting accessory. Since this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; if you require position detection, step up to an MBL25X200S model and note that the MBL uses modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M family.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 157N of push force at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 32mm bore provides 402N. The 200mm stroke on the 25mm bore requires careful alignment; the LB foot bracket fixes the body, so use the CM round-end back cover to absorb minor arcing misalignment and prevent rod bending. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts, but if you need adjustable cushioning, specify the current-line MBLC. Remember that a plain MAL or MBL does not hold a load when air pressure is lost—the rod will drift.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X200-CM-LB (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-CM-LB instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200-CM-LB FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X200-CM-LB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X200-CM-LB, which matches the 25mm bore, 200mm stroke, G1/8 port, and LB foot mount. The MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the older threaded covers.
At 0.5MPa it provides 245N push and 206N pull force; at 0.7MPa push is 343N, with a maximum theoretical force of 50kgf at 1.0MPa. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take a position sensor; the -S version would use CS1-M/DS1-M switches.
