This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X350-S-CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X350-S-CM 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 MAL25X350-S-CM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X350-S-CM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 350mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X350-S-CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X350-S-CM
The AirTAC MAL25X350-S-CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL25X350-S-CM, a drop-in alternative retaining the exact 25 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end back cover.
This legacy model features a threaded front and rear body construction, whereas the modern MBL utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body. The -S magnet on this unit functions with older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches, while the MBL replacement transitions to current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG solid-state sensors. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impacts, though an adjustable air cushion is available on the current MBLC line.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X350-S-CM 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 MBL25X350-S-CM 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 MAL25X350-S-CM Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Moves the cutting router head across 350 mm to singulate assembled circuit boards, utilizing the 245 N push force and round-end CM pivot to maintain tool alignment.
Pouch Spacing Diverter
Indexes packaging pouches along a 350 mm stroke between sealing stations, relying on the 206 N pull force to retract the diverter arm rapidly.
Carton Label Applicator
Advances a labeling head over a 350 mm reach to apply front-facing labels on small cartons, using the compact 25 mm bore to fit within tight conveyor frames.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X350-S-CM with MBL25X350-S-CM
To replace the MAL25X350-S-CM, order the MBL25X350-S-CM. Confirm the 350 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and CM round-end cover are retained. The -S magnet requires updating from CS1-M/DS1-M switches to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. If 245 N push at 0.5 MPa is excessive, step down to a 20 mm bore offering 157 N; if more force is needed, step up to a 32 mm bore providing 402 N. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for vertical loads. For 350 mm strokes, the 10 mm rod has low side-load tolerance; use a pivot or external guide to prevent bending. If end-cushioning is inadequate, specify the MBLC variant.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X350-S-CM (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 MBL25X350-S-CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X350-S-CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X350-S-CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X350-S-CM, which matches the 25 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM mounting. You must upgrade your sensors from the older CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
The 25 mm bore uses a 10 mm carbon-steel rod with an M10x1.25 thread. It generates 245 N push and 206 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
