This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X210CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X210CM 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 MAL25X210CM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X210CM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 210mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X210CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X210CM
The AirTAC MAL25X210CM is a discontinued compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and 210mm stroke. It delivers 245N of push force and 206N of pull force at 0.5MPa, utilizing a G1/8 port and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X210CM, which matches the bore, stroke, output force, port size, and CM round-end mounting perfectly.
This legacy unit features a fixed rubber bumper and a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease for long-term friction reduction. Because this specific SKU lacks an -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MAL uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body, and if adjustable air cushioning is required, the current-line MBLC variant offers that upgrade.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X210CM 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 MBL25X210CM 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 MAL25X210CM Is Used
PCB Router Z-Axis Gate
Actuates a safety gate on a PCB depaneling router, using the 245N push force at 0.5MPa to hold the guard closed during high-speed spindle routing.
Bottle Diverter Arm
Pivots a deflector flap on a packaging conveyor line, where the CM round-end cover accommodates the slight arcing motion needed to sort glass bottles.
Small Parts Ejector
Pushes stamped metal clips out of a die fixture, relying on the 210mm stroke to fully clear the tool before the strip feeds forward.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X210CM with MBL25X210CM
To replace the MAL25X210CM, order the MBL25X210CM. Verify your 25mm bore, 210mm stroke, G1/8 port, and the CM round-end back cover, which is designed for arcing or pivoting loads rather than rigid flat mounting. Since this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support a sensor; if you need position detection, step up to an MBL25X210CMS and note that the modern MBL uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to a 20mm bore yields 157N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to a 32mm bore provides 402N. At 210mm of stroke, the 10mm carbon-steel rod has low side-load tolerance; use an external guide or a pivot bracket to prevent rod bending. A plain bumper does not hold the load when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for suspended loads. If end-of-stroke impact is too harsh, the MBLC provides an adjustable cushion.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X210CM (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 MBL25X210CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X210CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X210CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X210CM, which matches the 25mm bore, 210mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end cover. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design while retaining the same output force and mounting footprint.
At 0.5MPa it provides 245N push and 206N pull force, 343N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 50kgf at 1.0MPa. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor; a version with an -S magnet would be required for CS1-M or DS1-M switches.
