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

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X700-S-CM
The AirTAC MAL25X700-S-CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers 245 N push and 206 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X700-S-CM, matching the bore, stroke, force, and port size.
This 700 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length exceeding the 500 mm standard maximum. The MAL features a threaded front and back cover, whereas the MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The -S magnet on this legacy unit works with older CS1-M / DS1-M switches; upgrading to the MBL requires switching to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X700-S-CM 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-CM 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-CM Is Used
Textile Yarn Guides
Shifts yarn guides across a 700 mm path in weaving machines, using the 245 N force to maintain tension on fine threads.
Pallet Push-Off Station
Ejects small loaded pallets from a tight conveyor lane, relying on the 206 N pull force to retract the 10 mm rod smoothly.
Warehouse Tote Transfer
Transfers totes between gravity roller lines, where the CM round-end back cover accommodates minor angular misalignment during the long 700 mm stroke.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X700-S-CM with MBL25X700-S-CM
To replace the MAL25X700-S-CM, order the MBL25X700-S-CM. Confirm the PT port thread, the CM round-end back cover, and the magnet configuration. The G1/8 port and M10x1.25 rod-end thread carry over exactly. Because the -S magnet is present, plan to replace existing CS1-M / DS1-M sensors with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.
At 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore provides 245 N push. If you need less force, step down to the 20 mm bore (157 N push). If your application requires more power, step up to the 32 mm bore (402 N push). The 700 mm stroke on a 10 mm rod demands strict side-load management; use an external guide rail or a pivot mount to prevent rod bending. A plain cylinder does not hold a load when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for safety. The MAL uses a fixed rubber bumper; if you need an adjustable air cushion, specify the MBLC on the current line.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X700-S-CM (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-CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X700-S-CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X700-S-CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X700-S-CM, offering the same bore, stroke, force, port size, and mounting. The MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers, and its magnet works with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches rather than the older CS1-M / DS1-M sensors.
The 25 mm bore has a G1/8 port and an M10x1.25 rod-end thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 245 N push and 206 N pull. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 343 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
