This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X210SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X210SCM 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 MAL25X210SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X210SCM 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 MBL25X210SCM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X210SCM
The AirTAC MAL25X210SCM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. Delivering 245 N push and 206 N pull at 0.5 MPa, it features a 25 mm bore, a 210 mm stroke, and a built-in magnet. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X210SCM, matching the force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end back cover.
This legacy unit uses a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease alongside a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide. Its carbon-steel rod has 20 um hard-chrome plating. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it originally paired with CS1-M / DS1-M switches; upgrading to the MBL requires switching to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X210SCM Technical Specifications

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X210SCM 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 MBL25X210SCM 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 MAL25X210SCM Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Provides 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa to separate routed circuit boards, using the 210 mm stroke to reach across a large 450 mm panel array.
Pouch Spacing Flap
Actuates a diverter arm on a packaging line, where the 206 N pull force at 0.5 MPa retracts the 10 mm rod to clear passing pouches.
Carton Pusher Assembly
Transfers small cardboard cartons into a case packer, utilizing the full 210 mm travel to index products smoothly into the loading chute.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X210SCM with MBL25X210SCM
To replace the MAL25X210SCM, order the MBL25X210SCM, ensuring you keep the PT tapered port thread, the CM round-end back cover, and the -S magnet. Remember that the MBL -S magnet uses the modern CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensor family, so your old CS1-M / DS1-M switches will need replacing. If you need an adjustable air cushion instead of the fixed rubber bumper, specify the MBLC variant.
With a 245 N push at 0.5 MPa, stepping down to the 20 mm bore yields 157 N, while stepping up to the 32 mm bore provides 402 N. At 210 mm of travel, the 10 mm rod has low side-load tolerance; use a CM round-end joint or an external guide to prevent rod bending. A plain MBL does not hold its load when air is lost—the rod drifts—so add an external rod lock for vertical positioning.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X210SCM (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 MBL25X210SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X210SCM FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X210SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X210SCM, offering the same 25 mm bore, 210 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end back cover. You will need to upgrade your sensors from the old CS1-M / DS1-M to the modern CMSG / DMSG / EMSG family.
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. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
