This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X200SUFA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X200SUFA 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 MAL25X200SUFA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200SUFA 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 MBL25X200SUFA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200SUFA
The AirTAC MAL25X200SUFA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder featuring a 25mm bore and 200mm stroke. Built for compact spaces, it delivers 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Because this legacy series has reached end-of-life, AirTAC designates the MBL25X200SUFA as the exact drop-in replacement. It matches the original bore, stroke, G1/8 port, FA flange mounting, and U flat-end back cover perfectly.
This specific SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection. On the MAL, this magnet interfaces with the older CS1-M / DS1-M switches, whereas the modern MBL replacement utilizes the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensor family. Structurally, the legacy MAL relies on threaded front and back covers, while the upgraded MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body for enhanced structural integrity. Both versions use a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X200SUFA 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 MBL25X200SUFA 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 MAL25X200SUFA Is Used
PCB Panel Ejection
Provides 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa to eject populated printed circuit boards from an SMT line without damaging delicate solder joints.
Carton Flap Folding
Uses the 200mm stroke to fold small corrugated carton flaps on a packaging conveyor, relying on the rigid U flat-end cover to absorb axial impact.
Textile Yarn Guide
Shifts a yarn guide carriage across a weaving machine; the -S magnet enables CS1-M sensors to confirm positioning for synchronized textile production.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200SUFA with MBL25X200SUFA
To replace your MAL25X200SUFA, order the MBL25X200SUFA, ensuring you retain the 25mm bore, 200mm stroke, FA flange mount, U flat-end back cover, and PT thread. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you must update your sensing setup: the older CS1-M / DS1-M switches are replaced by CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors on the MBL.
If you need to adjust the force, stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32mm bore provides 402 N. Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold a load when air pressure is lost; the rod will drift. For secure load holding, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. If your application requires adjustable end-cushioning instead of the standard fixed rubber bumper, look to the MBLC variant on the current line. Because the 200mm stroke combined with the 10mm rod creates a relatively slender assembly, use the FA flange to support the body rigidly and prevent rod bending under side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X200SUFA (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 MBL25X200SUFA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X200SUFA FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X200SUFA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X200SUFA, which matches the 25mm bore, 200mm stroke, G1/8 port, FA flange mount, and U back cover. You will need to upgrade your sensors from the old CS1-M / DS1-M to the CMSG / DMSG / EMSG family.
At 0.5 MPa, the 25mm bore provides 245 N push and 206 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 343 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at 0.1-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
