This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X570CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X570CA 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 MAL25X570CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X570CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 570mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X570CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X570CA
The AirTAC MAL25X570CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 570 mm stroke. Because 570 mm exceeds the 500 mm standard limit, this is a made-to-order non-standard stroke. It delivers 245 N push and 206 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X570CA, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting.
This legacy MAL features threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The CA clevis back cover allows the cylinder to swing on a pin to absorb arcing rod trajectories. Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. The carbon-steel rod has a 20 um hard-chrome plating, and the front-cover bearing guide is self-lubricating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X570CA 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 MBL25X570CA 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 MAL25X570CA Is Used
Pouch Packaging Diverter
Swings a deflector gate on a vertical form-fill-seal machine using the 570 mm stroke, relying on the CA clevis to accommodate the pivoting arc of the moving arm.
Textile Loom Tentering
Extends 570 mm to stretch fabric webs across a dyeing frame, where the 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa provides steady, low-friction tensioning without crushing the fibers.
Carton Erector Pusher
Deploys the long 570 mm stroke to unfold corrugated blanks in a packaging line, using the G1/8 port for rapid actuation and the fixed rubber bumper to deaden the stopping noise.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X570CA with MBL25X570CA
To replace this obsolete unit, order the MBL25X570CA. Confirm your PT port thread, CA pivot back cover, and 570 mm non-standard stroke requirement. If you need position sensing, you must step up to an MBL25X570SCA and migrate from the old CS1-M / DS1-M switches to the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. If 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, stepping up to the 32 mm bore yields 402 N push; stepping down to the 20 mm bore provides 157 N.
At 570 mm, the 10 mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. Use the CA clevis to prevent rod binding, and add an external guide rail for the payload. The fixed rubber bumper only softens end-of-stroke impact; it does not hold the load if air pressure drops. For adjustable air cushioning, switch to the current MBLC series instead of the standard MBL.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X570CA (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 MBL25X570CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X570CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X570CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X570CA, which matches the 25 mm bore, 570 mm non-standard stroke, G1/8 port, and CA clevis mounting. The MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the older threaded covers, but the force and mounting dimensions remain identical.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 245 N push and 206 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it provides 343 N push, with a maximum theoretical force of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CS1-M or DS1-M position sensors. You would need the -S variant to use sensors.
