This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X700-S-CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X700-S-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-S-CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X700-S-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-S-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X700-S-CA
The AirTAC MAL25X700-S-CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and 700mm stroke. Because 700mm exceeds the 500mm standard limit, this is a non-standard, made-to-order configuration. It delivers 245N of push force and 206N of pull force at 0.5MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X700-S-CA, which matches the bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting exactly.
This legacy SKU features a built-in magnet (-S) for position detection. On the MAL, this magnet pairs with the older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches, while the modern MBL replacement utilizes the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the upgraded MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body for equally robust performance. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, as the MAL lacks the adjustable air cushion found on the current MBLC line.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X700-S-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-S-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-S-CA Is Used
Textile Loom Tensioning
Provides 245N of push force at 0.5MPa to swing a CA pivot arm, maintaining precise fabric tension across a 700mm loom width without rigid binding.
Sorting Diverter Gate
Extends a full 700mm to route medium-weight parcels on a distribution line, using the self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide to endure high cycle counts.
Vertical Tray Magazine Push
Pushes stacked component trays upward into a pickup zone, relying on the two-way grease-retaining seal to prevent dry friction over the long non-standard stroke.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X700-S-CA with MBL25X700-S-CA
To replace the MAL25X700-S-CA, order the MBL25X700-S-CA. Confirm your port thread form (this SKU uses the default PT tapered pipe thread), the CA pivot back cover, and that your control system is updated for the newer CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors if you are migrating away from CS1-M/DS1-M switches. If you need adjustable end-cushioning to decelerate a load over this long stroke, step up to the MBLC series instead of the standard MBL.
When sizing, verify if the 25mm bore is optimal. Stepping down to the 20mm bore drops the 0.5MPa push force to 157N, while stepping up to the 32mm bore increases it to 402N. Because the stroke is 700mm, the 10mm carbon-steel rod with 20um hard-chrome plating has low side-load tolerance. The CA clevis pivot is essential here to absorb arcing loads, but you should still use an external guide rail to prevent rod bending. Note that the fixed rubber bumper softens impact but does not hold the load; if air is lost, the rod drifts, requiring an external pilot-operated check valve for position holding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X700-S-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-S-CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X700-S-CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X700-S-CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X700-S-CA. It provides identical bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. Note that the -S magnet on the MAL works with CS1-M/DS1-M switches, while the MBL replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
The 25mm bore provides a push force of 245N and a pull force of 206N at 0.5MPa. At 0.7MPa, the push force is 343N. The maximum theoretical force is 50kgf at 1.0MPa. It operates at 0.1-1.0MPa with a speed range of 30-800mm/s.
