This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X25CASDB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X25CASDB 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 MAL25X25CASDB
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X25CASDB is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 25mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X25CASDB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X25CASDB
The AirTAC MAL25X25CASDB is a discontinued compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and 25mm stroke. It delivers 245N of push force and 206N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X25CASDB, which matches the bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port and SDB mounting exactly.
This legacy SKU features a CA pivot clevis back cover paired with an SDB pivot bracket, allowing the body to swing on a pin to absorb arcing loads. The original MAL uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this specific configuration lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept a position sensor and no switch can be installed.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X25CASDB 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 MBL25X25CASDB 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 MAL25X25CASDB Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Drives a 25mm yarn guide arm on a weaving loom, using the CA pivot to accommodate the 245N push stroke while accommodating the mechanism's natural arcing motion.
Pouch Sealer Jaw
Actuates a short 25mm sealing jaw on a vertical form-fill-seal unit, where the fixed rubber bumper reliably absorbs the 206N pull impact at high cycle rates.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds small cardboard flaps on a packaging line, where the self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide ensures smooth operation without external grease maintenance.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X25CASDB with MBL25X25CASDB
To replace the MAL25X25CASDB, order the MBL25X25CASDB. Verify your 25mm bore, 25mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT tapered thread. The CA clevis back cover and SDB pivot bracket are retained exactly in the upgrade. If you need position sensing, you must step up to an MBL25X25S variant, noting the modern MBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches rather than the legacy CS1-M/DS1-M family.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 157N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32mm bore provides 402N push. This cylinder uses a fixed rubber bumper, so if your application requires adjustable end-of-stroke cushioning, you must look at the current MBLC line. A plain bumper does not hold a load if air pressure drops, so add an external rod lock for fail-safe positioning. The 10mm carbon-steel hard-chrome rod handles short strokes well, but always confirm the SDB pivot pin is secure.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X25CASDB (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 MBL25X25CASDB instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X25CASDB FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X25CASDB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X25CASDB, which matches the 25mm bore, 25mm stroke, CA pivot back cover, SDB mounting, and G1/8 port. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design while retaining the same output force.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 245N and the pull force is 206N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 343N, with a maximum theoretical force of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor; legacy MAL sensors were CS1-M/DS1-M, while the modern MBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
