This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X210SCMLB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X210SCMLB 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 MAL25X210SCMLB
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X210SCMLB 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 MBL25X210SCMLB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X210SCMLB
The AirTAC MAL25X210SCMLB is a discontinued 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 0.5 MPa, utilizing a G1/8 port and a Ø10mm carbon-steel rod with 20um hard chrome plating. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X210SCMLB, which matches the bore, stroke, output force, port size, and LB foot mounting exactly.
This legacy SKU features a CM round-end back cover and a built-in -S magnet. The older MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL replacement utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, the -S magnet on this MAL unit interfaces with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBL replacement transitions to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family. The internal heterogeneous two-way seal retains grease for long life, and the fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts without locking the load.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X210SCMLB 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 MBL25X210SCMLB 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 MAL25X210SCMLB Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Provides 245N of push force at 0.5 MPa to separate routed circuit boards, using the 210mm stroke to clear the cutting spindle during tool changes.
Pouch Packaging Flap
Extends 210mm to fold and press carton flaps on a compact packaging line, where the LB foot mount holds the cylinder rigidly while the fixed bumper absorbs the impact.
Bin Divert Gate
Actuates a small sorting gate on a gravity conveyor, relying on the 206N pull force at 0.5 MPa to retract the 10mm rod out of the product flow path.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X210SCMLB with MBL25X210SCMLB
To replace the MAL25X210SCMLB, order the MBL25X210SCMLB. Confirm your 25mm bore, 210mm stroke, G1/8 port, and LB foot mounting accessory. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you must upgrade your position sensing from the older CS1-M or DS1-M switches to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches used on the MBL series. The CM round-end back cover and LB foot bracket are preserved in the upgrade.
If you need to step up or down from the 245N push force at 0.5 MPa, the 20mm bore neighbor offers 157N of push force, while the 32mm neighbor provides 402N. At 210mm of stroke, the 10mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads; use the LB foot bracket with an external guide rail or a pivot joint to prevent rod damage. A plain MAL or MBL cylinder does not hold its load when air pressure drops—the rod will drift. Install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding. If end-of-stroke impact is too harsh, note that the MAL has only a fixed rubber bumper; the current-line MBLC offers an adjustable air cushion.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X210SCMLB (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 MBL25X210SCMLB instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X210SCMLB FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X210SCMLB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X210SCMLB, which offers the same 25mm bore, 210mm stroke, 245N push force at 0.5 MPa, G1/8 port, and LB foot mounting. You will need to update your sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to the CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
This double-acting cylinder delivers 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. Because it includes the -S magnet, it supports position sensing via CS1-M or DS1-M switches on the MAL, or CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches on the MBL replacement.
