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

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200-S-CA
The AirTAC MAL25X200-S-CA is a discontinued compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and 200mm stroke. It delivers 245N push and 206N pull at 0.5MPa, utilizing a G1/8 port and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X200-S-CA, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, port size, and CA pivot mounting.
This legacy SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing and a CA pivot back cover that swings on a pin to absorb arcing loads. Unlike the older MAL with its threaded front and back covers, the modern MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. Furthermore, while the MAL magnet pairs with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches, upgrading to the MBL requires the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family. The internal piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, and the carbon-steel rod features 20um hard-chrome plating for wear resistance.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X200-S-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-S-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-S-CA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Drives a 200mm yarn guide arm with 245N force at 0.5MPa, using the CA pivot to accommodate the lateral arc of the weaving mechanism.
Pouch Packaging Gate
Actuates a 25mm bore diverter flap on a vertical pouch filler, relying on the -S magnet and CS1-M switch to confirm the 200mm retraction stroke.
PCB Component Shuttle
Moves lightweight electronic trays 200mm into a test fixture, where the self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide prevents contamination of the cleanroom environment.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200-S-CA with MBL25X200-S-CA
To replace the MAL25X200-S-CA, order the MBL25X200-S-CA, ensuring you keep the 25mm bore, 200mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, CA pivot cover, and -S magnet. If you need to step down force, the 20mm bore provides 157N push at 0.5MPa; to step up, the 32mm bore yields 402N push at 0.5MPa. Because this is a 200mm stroke, side-load tolerance is critical: the 10mm rod has low bending resistance, so the CA clevis is essential for arcing motions, though an external guide may be needed for rigid radial loads. Note that the fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impact but is not an adjustable cushion—if you need cushioning, look to the MBLC variant. A plain cylinder does not hold a load when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for vertical positioning.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X200-S-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-S-CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200-S-CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X200-S-CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X200-S-CA, offering the same 25mm bore, 200mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. Note that the -S magnet on the new MBL works with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, replacing the older CS1-M and DS1-M switches.
The 25mm bore carbon-steel rod is 10mm in diameter with an M10x1.25 thread. At 0.5MPa it provides 245N push and 206N pull force. At 0.7MPa the push increases to 343N, and the maximum theoretical force is 50kgf at 1.0MPa.
