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

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X750-S-U
The AirTAC MAL25X750-S-U is a discontinued compact double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X750-S-U, which matches the 25 mm bore, 750 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and flat U back cover. Because 750 mm exceeds the 500 mm standard limit, this is a made-to-order stroke.
This legacy MAL uses a threaded front and back cover, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. The -S magnet on this MAL pairs with older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches; upgrading to the MBL requires switching to current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, and the carbon-steel rod has 20 um hard chrome plating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X750-S-U 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-S-U 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-S-U Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Drives a routing blade across 750 mm to singulate printed circuit boards, using the 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa to cleanly cut rigid FR4 substrates.
Packaging Line Transfer
Indexes sealed product pouches across a wide conveyor lane, relying on the flat U rear cover for rigid mounting and the 206 N pull force for a steady return.
Textile Yarn Guide
Traverses a yarn guide carriage over a 750 mm weaving width, where the self-lubricating front-cover bearing handles continuous high-speed oscillation.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X750-S-U with MBL25X750-S-U
To replace the MAL25X750-S-U, order the MBL25X750-S-U to retain the exact 25 mm bore, 750 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and flat U back cover. You must also migrate your CS1-M or DS1-M sensors to the CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG family used on the MBL. If your application needs an adjustable air cushion instead of the fixed rubber bumper, specify the MBLC variant on the current line.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 20 mm bore yields 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32 mm bore provides 402 N push. A plain MAL or MBL does not hold its load when air is lost; the rod drifts, so use an external rod lock for vertical positioning. Because the 750 mm stroke amplifies bending moments on the 10 mm rod, use a CA or SDB pivot mount, or add an external guide rail to prevent side-load damage.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X750-S-U (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-U instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X750-S-U FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X750-S-U is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X750-S-U, offering the same 25 mm bore, 750 mm stroke, 50 kgf max force, G1/8 port, and flat U back cover. You only need to update your sensors from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the new CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
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, with a maximum theoretical force of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 750 mm stroke exceeds the 500 mm standard limit, making it a non-standard, made-to-order configuration.
