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

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75-S-CM
The AirTAC MAL25X75-S-CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and 75mm stroke. It delivers 245N of push force and 206N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X75-S-CM, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end back cover.
This legacy unit features a threaded front and back cover assembly, whereas the modern MBL replacement uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it was designed for position detection using the older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches; upgrading to the MBL requires switching to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family. The carbon-steel rod is plated with 20 um hard chrome and rides on a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide, while the piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease for long service life.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X75-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 MBL25X75-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 MAL25X75-S-CM Is Used
PCB Degating
Uses the 245N push force at 0.5 MPa to cleanly separate individual printed circuit boards from multi-panel arrays without stressing the substrate.
Carton Flap Folding
The 75mm stroke and CM round-end cover pivot are ideal for tucking minor flaps on packaging lines where slight angular deflection prevents rod binding.
Vial Tray Indexing
Pushes lightweight pharmaceutical vial trays into capping stations, relying on the -S magnet and CS1-M switch to confirm the 75mm extension cycle.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75-S-CM with MBL25X75-S-CM
To replace this MAL, order the MBL25X75-S-CM. Confirm your 25mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/8 port, and default PT tapered thread form. The CM round-end back cover on this unit allows angular rod deflection, which is superior to a rigid flat-end U cover for absorbing minor mechanical misalignment. If you need to step down to a 20mm bore for tighter spaces, expect a reduced push force of 157N at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to a 32mm bore yields 402N of push force.
Keep in mind that the fixed rubber bumper on this cylinder only softens end-of-stroke impacts and does not lock the rod in place; if you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external pilot-operated check valve. If your application requires adjustable end-of-stroke cushioning, the MAL lacks this feature entirely, and you should specify an MBLC variant on the modern line.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X75-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 MBL25X75-S-CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75-S-CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X75-S-CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X75-S-CM, which offers the same 25mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CM round-end mounting. You must upgrade your position sensors from the older CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 245N of push force and 206N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 343N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The port size is G1/8, and the rod-end thread is M10x1.25.
