This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X200CAH — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X200CAH 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 MAL25X200CAH
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200CAH 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 MBL25X200CAH, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200CAH
The AirTAC MAL25X200CAH is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and 200mm stroke. It delivers 245N of push force and 206N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a G1/8 port and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread. Because this legacy model is end-of-life, the direct drop-in replacement is the MBL25X200CAH, which matches the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and CA mounting accessory.
This SKU features a CA pivot back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads, and lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot accept a position sensor. A key upgrade in the MBL replacement is the transition from the MAL's threaded front and back covers to a riveted rolling-packed body. Furthermore, the MAL relies on a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke absorption, whereas the current MBLC line offers an adjustable air cushion that this older series never had.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X200CAH 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 MBL25X200CAH 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 MAL25X200CAH Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Drives a 200mm yarn guide arm with 245N push force, using the CA pivot to absorb needle bar arcing without binding.
Pouch Transfer Arm
Pushes packaging pouches across a 200mm gap, where the compact 25mm bore saves space and the rubber bumper softens the retraction stop.
Bin Diverter Flap
Actuates a small chute flap to route parts, relying on the 206N pull force to hold the flap closed against flowing product.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200CAH with MBL25X200CAH
To replace the MAL25X200CAH, order the MBL25X200CAH, ensuring you retain the CA pivot back cover and the default PT port thread. Since this SKU lacks an S magnet, it cannot support a sensor; if you need position detection, step up to an MBL25X200SCAH and note that the modern MBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M family. If you need to adjust force, step down to the 20mm bore (157N push at 0.5 MPa) or up to the 32mm bore (402N push at 0.5 MPa). Keep in mind the fixed rubber bumper is not a lock; the rod will drift if air pressure is lost, so use an external rod lock for vertical loads. At 200mm stroke, the 10mm rod handles side loads best when guided by the CA pivot or an external rail.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X200CAH (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 MBL25X200CAH instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200CAH FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X200CAH is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X200CAH, offering the same 25mm bore, 200mm stroke, 245N push force at 0.5 MPa, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mount.
The 25mm bore generates 245N push and 206N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/8 port, a 10mm rod, and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread.
