This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X700-CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X700-CA 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 MAL25X700-CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X700-CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 700mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X700-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X700-CA
The AirTAC MAL25X700-CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder featuring a 25mm bore and a 700mm stroke. Because 700mm exceeds the 500mm standard maximum, this unit was produced as a made-to-order item. It delivers 245N of push force and 206N of pull force at 0.5MPa. AirTAC replaced the legacy MAL series with the MBL line, making the MBL25X700-CA your exact drop-in replacement. It matches the original bore, stroke, 50kgf maximum force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting perfectly.
This legacy unit features a CA pivot back cover designed to swing on a pin, absorbing arcing loads common in long-stroke linkages. It uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping, not an adjustable cushion. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot accept a position sensor. The MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. If you previously relied on MAL sensors, note that the MBL line uses the newer CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X700-CA 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 MBL25X700-CA 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 MAL25X700-CA Is Used
Pallet Transfer Pusher
Pushes pallets along a 700mm conveyor lane using 245N of push force at 0.5MPa, relying on the CA pivot to absorb rod side-loads during the long arc.
Textile Loom Guide
Actuates a yarn guide arm across a 700mm weaving width, where the self-lubricating front-cover bearing ensures smooth travel at operating speeds up to 800mm/s.
Bin Diversion Gate
Swings a heavy sorting gate to route packages, utilizing the 50kgf maximum theoretical force at 1.0MPa to overcome the inertia of the swinging mechanism.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X700-CA with MBL25X700-CA
To replace your MAL25X700-CA, order the MBL25X700-CA. Confirm your 25mm bore, 700mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot back cover are correct. Since this 700mm stroke exceeds the 500mm standard maximum, expect a made-to-order lead time. The 10mm carbon-steel rod with 20µm hard chrome plating has low side-load tolerance; at 700mm, you must use the CA pivot mounting to prevent rod bending or rely on an external guide. The fixed rubber bumper is not a position lock, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the load must hold when air pressure drops. If you need adjustable end-cushioning for this long stroke, step up to the current MBLC series.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 20mm bore drops the 0.5MPa push force to 157N, while stepping up to the 32mm bore raises it to 402N. If position detection is required, you cannot add a sensor to this specific SKU; you must select an MBL25X700-SCA and pair it with a CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switch.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X700-CA (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 MBL25X700-CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X700-CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X700-CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X700-CA, which matches the 25mm bore, 700mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. The MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the older threaded covers.
At 0.5MPa, push force is 245N and pull is 206N. At 0.7MPa, push is 343N, with a theoretical maximum of 50kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CS1-M or DS1-M sensors; for detection, choose an MBL25X700-SCA and use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
