This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X75SCAH — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X75SCAH 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 MAL25X75SCAH
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75SCAH 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 MBL25X75SCAH, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75SCAH
The AirTAC MAL25X75SCAH is a discontinued compact 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 0.5MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the MBL25X75SCAH, a drop-in alternative that retains the exact bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting for seamless integration.
This SKU includes a CA pivot back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads, along with a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. Additionally, the MAL -S magnet pairs with older CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBL replacement requires the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X75SCAH 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 MBL25X75SCAH 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 MAL25X75SCAH Is Used
Pouch Packaging Diverter
Uses the 245N push force at 0.5MPa to deflect flat pouches on a packaging conveyor, relying on the CA pivot to accommodate the slight arc of the routing arm.
PCB Test Socket Actuation
Drives an electronics test fixture socket over the 75mm stroke, using the -S magnet and CS1-M sensor to confirm the probe head is fully seated.
Lab Vial Tray Gating
Indexes small centrifuge vial trays through a tight machine cell, where the compact 25mm aluminum body fits neatly between adjacent guide rails.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75SCAH with MBL25X75SCAH
To replace the MAL25X75SCAH, order the MBL25X75SCAH, confirming the 25mm bore, 75mm stroke, PT thread, and CA pivot back cover are retained. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you must update your sensing components: the older CS1-M and DS1-M switches are incompatible with the MBL body, so migrate to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. If your application requires an adjustable air cushion rather than the standard fixed rubber bumper, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line.
For sizing flexibility, you can step down to a 20mm bore (providing 157N push at 0.5MPa) for lighter loads, or step up to a 32mm bore (providing 402N push at 0.5MPa) for higher force demands. At a 75mm stroke, side-load stress is minimal, but the 10mm carbon-steel rod still has low side-load tolerance; always rely on the CA clevis to absorb alignment deviations rather than forcing rigid mounting. Remember that the rubber bumper only softens end-of-stroke impacts and does not lock the rod—if power fails, the load will drift unless you add an external pilot-operated check valve.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X75SCAH (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 MBL25X75SCAH instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X75SCAH FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X75SCAH is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X75SCAH, which matches the 25mm bore, 75mm stroke, 50kgf max force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. Note that if you use the -S magnet for position detection, you must switch from the old CS1-M/DS1-M switches to the MBL-compatible CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
At 0.5MPa, the 25mm bore provides 245N of push force and 206N of pull force. At 0.7MPa, the push force increases to 343N. The maximum theoretical force is 50kgf at the 1.0MPa operating pressure limit.
