This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X75-S-CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X75-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 MAL25X75-S-CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75-S-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-S-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75-S-CA
The AirTAC MAL25X75-S-CA is a discontinued compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers a 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 25 mm bore and 75 mm stroke. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X75-S-CA, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and CA mounting.
This legacy unit features a CA pivot clevis back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads, distinguishing it from rigid flat-end U models. The -S magnet on this MAL works with older CS1-M / DS1-M switches, whereas the MBL replacement uses current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. Additionally, the original MAL uses threaded front and back covers on the barrel, while the upgraded MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body for equally robust performance.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X75-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 MBL25X75-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 MAL25X75-S-CA Is Used
Textile Yarn Guide
Pivots a yarn guide arm across a winding drum using 245 N of push force, where the CA clevis absorbs the lateral arc of the traversing mechanism.
Package Flap Folder
Tucks cardboard flaps on a compact packaging conveyor, utilizing the 75 mm stroke and the self-lubricating bearing to cycle rapidly at high speeds.
PCB Edge Tester
Swings a test probe array onto printed circuit boards, relying on the -S magnet and a CS1-M switch to confirm the 75 mm extend position.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75-S-CA with MBL25X75-S-CA
To replace this MAL with the MBL25X75-S-CA, verify your 25 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and PT tapered thread form. Retain the CA pivot back cover and confirm your -S magnet requirements, noting the switch family changes from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. If you need to step down, the 20 mm bore provides 157 N push at 0.5 MPa; if you need more force, the 32 mm bore offers 402 N push at 0.5 MPa. The MAL uses a fixed rubber bumper, so if your arcing application requires an adjustable air cushion, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line. A plain MBL does not hold its load when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for vertical safety. At 75 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but always ensure the CA clevis pin is greased to prevent binding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X75-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 MBL25X75-S-CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75-S-CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X75-S-CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X75-S-CA, which matches the 25 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, CA pivot mounting, G1/8 port, and output force. You must only update your sensors, as the MBL uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M / DS1-M.
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.
