This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X75-CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X75-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 MAL25X75-CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75-CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 75mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X75-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75-CA
The AirTAC MAL25X75-CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder, delivering a push force of 245 N and a pull force of 206 N at 0.5 MPa. Engineered for compact spaces, it features a 25 mm bore, a 75 mm stroke, and a G1/8 port. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X75-CA, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, port size, and CA pivot mounting.
This legacy unit features a CA pivot clevis back cover designed to swing on a pin, accommodating arcing loads throughout the stroke. The original MAL body utilizes threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body for equally robust performance. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accommodate a position sensor. Additionally, the end-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X75-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 MBL25X75-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 MAL25X75-CA Is Used
Pivot Arm Diverter
Swings a lightweight package diverter arm on a packaging conveyor using the CA clevis to absorb arcing motion during 75 mm travel.
PCB Test Fixture
Pushes a probe head onto printed circuit boards, applying 245 N of force at 0.5 MPa to verify electrical connections.
Carton Flap Folder
Extends 75 mm to tuck minor flaps on small cartons before tape sealing, fitting neatly into compact packaging machinery.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75-CA with MBL25X75-CA
To replace the MAL25X75-CA, order the MBL25X75-CA. Confirm the 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread form, and the CA pivot back cover are retained for your clevis mount. If your application requires position sensing, you must step up to an MBL25X75S-CA and update to the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switch family, as this non-S legacy SKU cannot support sensors. If you need adjustable air cushioning instead of the standard fixed rubber bumper, look at the MBLC equivalent on the current line.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to a 20 mm bore drops the push force to 157 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 32 mm bore increases it to 402 N. Because the stroke is 75 mm, side-load bending risks on the 10 mm rod are moderate but manageable; ensure the CA pivot is properly aligned to prevent binding. Remember that a plain MBL does not hold its load if air pressure drops—the rod will drift.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X75-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 MBL25X75-CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75-CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X75-CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X75-CA. It provides identical bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. The main upgrade is that the MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of the older threaded covers.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 245 N and the pull force is 206 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 343 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Note that this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot support position sensors.
