This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X200SCAH — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X200SCAH 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 MAL25X200SCAH
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200SCAH 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 MBL25X200SCAH, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200SCAH
The AirTAC MAL25X200SCAH is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 200 mm stroke. It delivers 245 N push and 206 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL25X200SCAH, a drop-in alternative retaining the exact bore, stroke, G1/8 port, 10 mm rod, and CA pivot mount. The MBL matches the original thrust ratings while upgrading the body construction.
This SKU includes a CA pivot back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads, plus a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body for equal strength. The -S magnet on this MAL pairs with older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches; upgrading to the MBL requires the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family. The piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, and the carbon-steel rod has 20 um hard-chrome plating to resist wear.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X200SCAH 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 MBL25X200SCAH 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 MAL25X200SCAH Is Used
PCB Drill Bit Changer
Extends 200 mm to index a drill bit carousel in a CNC routing machine, using the 245 N push force to positively seat the tool holder.
Pivot Arm Diverter
Uses the CA clevis mount to swing a pneumatic flap on a packaging conveyor, smoothly redirecting cartons at 30-800 mm/s.
Small Parts Ejector
Pushes molded plastic caps out of an injection mold cavity, relying on the 206 N pull force to retract the 10 mm rod quickly.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200SCAH with MBL25X200SCAH
To replace the MAL25X200SCAH, order the MBL25X200SCAH. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and CA pivot back cover are correct for your jig. If your application requires less force, step down to a 20 mm bore (157 N push at 0.5 MPa); if you need more clamping power, step up to a 32 mm bore (402 N push at 0.5 MPa). Because this is a 200 mm stroke on a 10 mm rod, side-load tolerance is low; use the CA clevis to absorb alignment shifts or add an external guide rail.
The MAL uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion. If your load drifts when air is removed, note this bumper is not a lock; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. For heavy end-of-stroke impacts, consider the MBLC variant on the current line for adjustable air cushioning. When migrating the -S magnet, swap the legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to fit the MBL body.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X200SCAH (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 MBL25X200SCAH instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200SCAH FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X200SCAH is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X200SCAH. It matches the 25 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/8 port, CA pivot mount, and 10 mm rod. The MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers, but maintains the same force and mounting footprint.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 245 N and the pull force is 206 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 343 N, with a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this SKU has the -S magnet, it works with older CS1-M and DS1-M switches. If you upgrade to the MBL replacement, you must use the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor series.
