This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X370SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X370SCA 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 MAL25X370SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X370SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 370mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X370SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X370SCA
The AirTAC MAL25X370SCA is a discontinued compact 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 MBL25X370SCA, a drop-in alternative retaining the exact bore, stroke, port, and mounting footprint.
This SKU features a CA pivot back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads, which is critical for a 370 mm stroke. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the MBL replacement utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this unit includes the -S magnet, it pairs with the older CS1-M / DS1-M switches; upgrading to the MBL requires switching to the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensor family.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X370SCA 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 MBL25X370SCA 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 MAL25X370SCA Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Drives a thread guide arm across a 370 mm span, utilizing the 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa to maintain tension on synthetic fiber looms.
Packaging Flap Folder
Actuates a mechanical flap-folding arm on a carton sealer, where the CA pivot back cover accommodates the slight arc required during the 370 mm travel.
PCB Tray Pusher
Indexes empty circuit board trays into a testing fixture, relying on the self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide to prevent stick-slip over the long stroke.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X370SCA with MBL25X370SCA
To replace this cylinder, order the MBL25X370SCA. Confirm your 25 mm bore, 370 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot back cover. If your arcing load is light, the flat-end U cover might suffice, but the CA clevis is essential here. Because the -S magnet is present, note that your CS1-M / DS1-M sensors must be swapped for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches on the new MBL.
For sizing, stepping down to the 20 mm bore drops push force to 157 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32 mm bore increases it to 402 N. At 370 mm, the 10 mm rod has low side-load tolerance; use an external guide to prevent binding. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impact, but if you need adjustable cushioning, specify the MBLC variant. A plain MAL/MBL does not hold a load when air is lost—use an external rod lock for safety.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X370SCA (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 MBL25X370SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X370SCA FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X370SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X370SCA, which matches the 25 mm bore, 370 mm stroke, G1/8 port, CA pivot back cover, and force output. You must update your sensors, as the MBL uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M / DS1-M.
The 25 mm bore uses a G1/8 port and a 10 mm 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.
