This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X330CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X330CA 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 MAL25X330CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X330CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 330mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X330CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X330CA
The AirTAC MAL25X330CA is a discontinued compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder delivering 245 N push and 206 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Its 330 mm stroke and CA pivot back cover suit mechanisms requiring arcing motion. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X330CA, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and CA mounting.
This legacy unit features a fixed rubber bumper and a carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard chrome plating, guided by a self-lubricating front-cover bearing. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL replacement employs a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X330CA 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 MBL25X330CA 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 MAL25X330CA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Drives a 330 mm arcing guide arm on a weaving loom, utilizing the CA pivot to absorb lateral stress while providing 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
Pallet Transfer Arm
Actuates a 330 mm swing arm to divert small pallets between packaging lines, where the compact 25 mm bore fits tight frame clearances.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds minor flaps on a compact carton sealing machine, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the 206 N pull impact at cycle end.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X330CA with MBL25X330CA
To replace the MAL25X330CA, order the MBL25X330CA. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 330 mm stroke, PT thread, G1/8 port, and CA pivot back cover are correct for your clevis pin mount. If you need end-of-stroke cushioning, the fixed rubber bumper cannot be adjusted; instead, look at the current MBLC line for an adjustable air cushion option.
At 330 mm, the 10 mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; ensure an external guide supports the load. For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 20 mm bore yields 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32 mm bore provides 402 N. Note that this cylinder drifts when air is lost, so use an external rod lock for load holding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X330CA (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 MBL25X330CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X330CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X330CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X330CA, which matches the 25 mm bore, 330 mm stroke, 50 kgf max force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting.
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 245 N push and 206 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it provides 343 N push, with a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor.
