This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X750-S-CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X750-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 MAL25X750-S-CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X750-S-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-S-CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X750-S-CA
The AirTAC MAL25X750-S-CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and a 750mm stroke. Because 750mm exceeds the 500mm standard maximum, this is a non-standard, made-to-order length. It delivers 245N of push force and 206N of pull force at 0.5MPa, utilizing a G1/8 port and an Ø10mm carbon-steel rod with 20µm hard chrome plating. AirTAC replaced this legacy series with the MBL25X750-S-CA, a drop-in alternative retaining the exact same bore, stroke, output, port size, and CA pivot mounting.
This SKU includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing and a CA pivot back cover that swings on a pin to accommodate arcing loads. The original MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, the MAL magnet interfaces with legacy CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBL replacement requires the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family. The internal piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, and the front-cover bearing guide is self-lubricating for prolonged cycle life.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø25mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 245 N | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | — |

Where the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X750-S-CA Is Used
Textile Loom Thread Guide
Drives a thread guide carriage across a 750mm beam, where the 245N push force at 0.5MPa is sufficient to shift the lightweight guide while the CA pivot absorbs minor frame misalignment.
Pallet Transfer Pusher
Indexes small cardboard pallets off a narrow belt line, using the 206N pull force to retract the 10mm rod fully within tight machinery envelopes.
Vertical Parts Elevator
Raises small plastic bins along a 750mm vertical track, relying on the self-lubricating bearing guide to maintain smooth operation over long dry cycles.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X750-S-CA with MBL25X750-S-CA
To replace this discontinued MAL25X750-S-CA, order the MBL25X750-S-CA, ensuring you match the 25mm bore, 750mm non-standard stroke, G1/8 PT port, and CA pivot mounting. Because this -S model has a magnet, note that your old CS1-M or DS1-M sensors must be upgraded to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches to fit the MBL body. If your application requires adjustable end-of-stroke damping, the fixed rubber bumper on this MAL cannot be adjusted; you should instead specify an MBLC25X750-S-CA from the current catalog, which offers an adjustable air cushion.
At 0.5MPa, this 25mm bore yields 245N push and 206N pull. If you need less force, step down to the 20mm bore (157N push at 0.5MPa); if you need more power, step up to the 32mm bore (402N push at 0.5MPa). A 750mm stroke on a 10mm rod offers low side-load tolerance, so an external guide rail is mandatory to prevent rod bending. Furthermore, a plain MAL or MBL does not hold its load when air pressure drops—the rod drifts—so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if gravity or vertical loads are present.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X750-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 MBL25X750-S-CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X750-S-CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X750-S-CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X750-S-CA, which matches the 25mm bore, 750mm stroke, G1/8 port, CA pivot cover, and magnet. You must upgrade your sensors from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the new CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
The 25mm bore uses a G1/8 port and an Ø10mm rod. At 0.5MPa it provides 245N push and 206N pull force. At 0.7MPa the push force is 343N, and the maximum theoretical force is 50kgf at 1.0MPa.
