This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X750-CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X750-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 MAL25X750-CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X750-CA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 750mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X750-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X750-CA
The AirTAC MAL25X750-CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for compact spaces. It delivers 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Because this 750 mm stroke exceeds the 500 mm standard limit, it was produced as a non-standard, made-to-order unit. AirTAC replaced the MAL line with the MBL series, making the MBL25X750-CA the exact drop-in replacement. It matches the original bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and CA mounting configuration perfectly.
This legacy SKU features a CA pivot back cover designed to swing on a pin, absorbing arcing loads that would otherwise destroy a rigidly mounted cylinder. It lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept position sensors. The original MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body for faster assembly. Both designs rely on a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion; if end-of-stroke shock absorption is critical for your 750 mm travel, step up to the current MBLC line which adds adjustable air cushions.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X750-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 MBL25X750-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 MAL25X750-CA Is Used
Textile Loom Let-Off
Drives the let-off mechanism on wide weaving looms, using the 750 mm stroke to maintain fabric tension while the CA pivot absorbs the repetitive arcing motion of the beam.
Pallet Transfer Pusher
Transfers lightweight goods between parallel roller conveyors in packaging lines, where the 245 N push force easily overcomes carton friction over the extended travel distance.
Vertical Lift Gate
Actuates a tall vertical lift gate on a testing enclosure, utilizing the full 750 mm stroke to open the barrier fully while relying on an external guide to prevent rod deflection.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X750-CA with MBL25X750-CA
To replace the discontinued MAL25X750-CA, order the MBL25X750-CA. Confirm your setup uses the default PT tapered port thread, a Ø10 mm rod with an M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and the CA clevis pivot mount. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support position sensing. If you need sensors, the MBL equivalent requires the newer CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches rather than the legacy CS1-M or DS1-M.
Verify your force requirements: this 25 mm bore generates 245 N push at 0.5 MPa (max 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa). If you need less force, step down to the 20 mm bore (157 N push at 0.5 MPa). If you need more power, step up to the 32 mm bore (402 N push at 0.5 MPa). At 750 mm of travel, the Ø10 mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. Use an external guide rail to support the load, as the fixed rubber bumper only softens end-of-stroke impacts and does not hold the load if air pressure drops.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X750-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 MBL25X750-CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X750-CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X750-CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X750-CA, which matches the 25 mm bore, 750 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mount. The modern MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers, but the force ratings remain identical.
The 25 mm bore provides a push force of 245 N and a pull force of 206 N at 0.5 MPa, 343 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It cannot hold a load when air is lost; the fixed rubber bumper only softens the stroke end and does not act as a lock.
