This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X700CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X700CM 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 MAL25X700CM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X700CM 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 MBL25X700CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X700CM
The AirTAC MAL25X700CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and a 700mm stroke. Because 700mm exceeds the 500mm standard maximum, this is a non-standard, made-to-order configuration. It delivers 245N of push force and 206N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced the MAL line with the MBL series, making the MBL25X700CM the exact drop-in replacement, retaining the same bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end back cover.
This SKU lacks a built-in magnet, so it cannot support position sensing. The legacy MAL features a threaded front and back cover assembly, whereas the current MBL utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body for structural rigidity. Both designs rely on a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping rather than an adjustable air cushion. To manage the 700mm extension, the cylinder uses a 10mm carbon-steel rod with 20um hard-chrome plating and a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, supported by a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X700CM 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 MBL25X700CM 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 MAL25X700CM Is Used
Textile Beam Doffing
Drives the 700mm extraction of heavy yarn beams on weaving machines, utilizing the 245N push force to clear the loom frame during automated doffing cycles.
PCB Edge Conveyor Transfer
Actuates a 700mm pop-up transfer arm between SMT conveyor lanes, using the CM round-end back cover to accommodate slight pivot misalignment during board handoff.
Vertical Tray Pusher
Ejects loaded component trays from a multi-tier storage rack, requiring the full 700mm reach to clear deep shelf channels in semiconductor stockers.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X700CM with MBL25X700CM
To replace the MAL25X700CM, order the MBL25X700CM. Verify your porting matches the G1/8 thread, the rod-end thread is M10x1.25, and the CM round-end back cover fits your mounting interface. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept a CS1-M or DS1-M sensor; if you need position detection on the new MBL, you must add the -S option and upgrade to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switch family.
With 245N push force at 0.5 MPa, verify if this 25mm bore is optimal for your load. If you need less force, stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 157N push at 0.5 MPa. If you require more power, stepping up to the 32mm bore provides 402N push at 0.5 MPa. A plain MAL or MBL does not hold its load when air is lost, as the rod drifts; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for position holding. The fixed rubber bumper softens end-of-stroke impacts, but if your application demands adjustable cushioning, look at the MBLC variant on the current line. Because the 700mm stroke creates a long lever arm on a 10mm rod, side-load tolerance is low; you must use an external guide rail or a pivot mount to prevent rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X700CM (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 MBL25X700CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X700CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X700CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X700CM, which matches the 25mm bore, 700mm stroke, CM round-end cover, G1/8 port, and output force. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design instead of the original threaded covers.
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 specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept position sensors like the CS1-M or DS1-M.
