This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X700CALB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X700CALB 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 MAL25X700CALB
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X700CALB 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 MBL25X700CALB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X700CALB
The AirTAC MAL25X700CALB is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and a 700mm non-standard stroke. It delivers 245N of push force and 206N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL25X700CALB, a drop-in upgrade retaining the exact same bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and LB foot mounting.
This specific SKU includes a CA pivot back cover for arcing loads and a PT threaded port. Because it lacks an -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MAL features threaded front and back covers, whereas the MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body for structural rigidity. Both designs share a fixed rubber bumper and a heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining piston seal.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X700CALB 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 MBL25X700CALB 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 MAL25X700CALB Is Used
Textile Loom Guiding
Drives a yarn tensioning arm across a 700mm span, utilizing the CA pivot to absorb lateral rod drift during high-speed weaving.
Packaging Pusher Arm
Moves lightweight cartons between conveyor belts, where the 245N push force at 0.5 MPa easily overcomes sliding friction.
Warehouse Divert Gate
Actuates a sorting diverter over a long stroke, requiring the LB foot bracket to anchor the body while the clevis allows arc movement.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X700CALB with MBL25X700CALB
To replace the MAL25X700CALB, order the MBL25X700CALB, ensuring you match the CA pivot back cover and LB foot mounting. If your application requires position sensing, note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot hold a sensor; upgrading to an MBL25X700CASLB allows the use of modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the legacy CS1-M or DS1-M. If you need an adjustable air cushion rather than the fixed rubber bumper, look to the MBLC series on the current line.
At 0.5 MPa, this 25mm bore provides 245N push force. If you need less force, step down to the 20mm bore (157N push), or step up to the 32mm bore (402N push) for heavier loads. A 700mm stroke is a made-to-order non-standard length exceeding the 500mm maximum standard. With a 10mm rod and such a long extension, side-load tolerance is low; you must use an external guide rail or rely on the CA clevis to absorb arcing motion. Additionally, this cylinder does not hold its load when air is lost, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for safety.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X700CALB (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 MBL25X700CALB instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X700CALB FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X700CALB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X700CALB, which matches the 25mm bore, 700mm stroke, 245N force, G1/8 port, and LB mounting. The newer MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers.
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 245N push and 206N pull force; at 0.7 MPa it provides 343N push, with a maximum theoretical force of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks an -S magnet, it cannot accept CS1-M or DS1-M position sensors.
