This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBL25X75CASDB, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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 MAL25X75CASDB
The AirTAC MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75CASDB 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 direct replacement is the MBL25X75CASDB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75CASDB
The AirTAC MAL25X75CASDB is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder engineered for compact spaces. Delivering a 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it features a 25 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, and a G1/8 port. Because this legacy series is end-of-life, the direct replacement is the MBL25X75CASDB, matching the exact bore, stroke, output force, and mounting interface.
This specific SKU includes a CA pivot back cover and an SDB pivot bracket, allowing the cylinder body to swing on a pin to absorb arcing loads. Mechanically, the legacy MAL uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Furthermore, this unit lacks a built-in magnet (-S), meaning it cannot accept a position sensor. The internal piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, running on a carbon-steel rod with 20 um hard chrome plating guided by a self-lubricating front-cover bearing.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X75CASDB 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 | — |

Where the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75CASDB Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Drives the oscillating yarn guide on a textile loom, where the 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa shifts thread patterns and the CA pivot absorbs the lateral arc.
Pouch Sealer Arm
Actuates the pivoting seal arm on a vertical pouch packaging machine, utilizing the 75 mm stroke to cleanly press and crimp polyethylene films.
Bin Diverter Flap
Swings a lightweight diverter flap on a small-parts gravity conveyor, routing plastic components into packing bins without stalling the line.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75CASDB with MBL25X75CASDB
To replace the MAL25X75CASDB, order the direct replacement MBL25X75CASDB, ensuring you keep the CA clevis and SDB pivot bracket to maintain your swing mounting. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support any position sensing; if you need end-of-stroke detection, you must upgrade to an MBL25X75CASDBS and switch to the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor family, as the older CS1-M and DS1-M switches are obsolete.
If you need to adjust your force output, stepping down to the 20 mm bore neighbor yields 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32 mm bore provides 402 N. The MAL uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration; if your load requires adjustable air cushioning, specify the current-line MBLC equivalent. Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold its load when air pressure is lost—the rod will drift—so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe holding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X75CASDB (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 MBL25X75CASDB instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75CASDB FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X75CASDB is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBL25X75CASDB, which offers the same 25 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, 245 N push force, G1/8 port, and CA/SDB pivot mounting. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design instead of threaded covers.
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. Because this specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet, it cannot accept position sensors; adding one requires upgrading to the -S variant and using CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
