This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X65SCM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X65SCM 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 MAL25X65SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X65SCM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 65mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X65SCM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X65SCM
The AirTAC MAL25X65SCM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and 65mm stroke. It delivers 245N push and 206N pull force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL25X65SCM, a true drop-in alternative retaining the exact bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end mounting interface.
This SKU includes a -S magnet for position sensing, which pairs with the older CS1-M or DS1-M switches on the MAL. When you upgrade to the MBL25X65SCM, you must switch to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family. The original MAL body uses threaded front and rear covers, whereas the MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body for identical pressure ratings. The piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining seal, and the 10mm carbon-steel rod carries a 20um hard-chrome plating to resist wear.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X65SCM 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 MBL25X65SCM 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 MAL25X65SCM Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Routes populated circuit boards with 245N push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing the 65mm stroke to clear the cutting spindle during automated panel separation.
Vial Tray Pusher
Advances lightweight pharmaceutical vial trays along a conveyor, where the round-end CM cover prevents binding from minor frame misalignment.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects machined plastic fittings from a mold cavity, relying on the 206N pull force at 0.5 MPa to positively retract the 10mm rod after the cycle.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X65SCM with MBL25X65SCM
To replace the MAL25X65SCM, order the MBL25X65SCM and verify your 65mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT tapered thread. The CM round-end back cover on this unit accommodates slight alignment variances better than a rigid flat-end U cover. Because the -S magnet is present, plan to swap your existing CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. If you need to adjust your sizing, stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 157N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32mm bore provides 402N push at 0.5 MPa.
This cylinder uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration, not an adjustable cushion; if your application requires precise kinetic energy absorption, the current-line MBLC variant offers an adjustable air cushion. Furthermore, a plain MBL cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops, as the rod will drift. For vertical loads, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X65SCM (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 MBL25X65SCM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X65SCM FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X65SCM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X65SCM, which matches the 25mm bore, 65mm stroke, 245N push force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end cover. You only need to update your position sensors from the legacy CS1-M or DS1-M to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG family.
The 25mm bore generates 245N push and 206N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it supports CS1-M and DS1-M switches; the MBL replacement requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
