This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X780SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X780SCA 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 MAL25X780SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X780SCA is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 780mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X780SCA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X780SCA
The AirTAC MAL25X780SCA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and a 780mm stroke. Because 780mm exceeds the 500mm standard limit, this is a non-standard, made-to-order unit. It delivers 245N push and 206N pull at 0.5MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X780SCA, matching the bore, stroke, G1/8 port, CA pivot cover, and magnet.
This legacy unit features threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body. The -S magnet on this MAL works with older CS1-M/DS1-M switches; upgrading to the MBL means switching to current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, but adjustable cushioning is only available on the current MBLC line.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X780SCA Technical Specifications

| Acting type | Double acting |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.1 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed rubber bumper |

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X780SCA 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 MBL25X780SCA 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 MAL25X780SCA Is Used
Textile Loom Guiding
Drives a yarn guide carriage across a 780mm path, utilizing the 245N force and CA pivot to accommodate slight angular misalignment during high-speed weaving.
Packaging Push-Off
Stages cardboard cartons on a roller conveyor, where the 206N pull retracts the 10mm rod reliably over the extended 780mm travel distance.
PCB Conveyor Transfer
Moves populated circuit board trays between inspection lanes, relying on the -S magnet and CS1-M switches for precise end-position verification.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X780SCA with MBL25X780SCA
To replace the MAL25X780SCA, order the MBL25X780SCA to retain the 25mm bore, 780mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot cover, and -S magnet. When sizing, stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 157N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 32mm bore provides 402N push. The CA clevis back cover allows arcing movements on a pin, which is critical for this 780mm stroke to manage side-load and rod bending—always use an external guide for long strokes. Note that a plain bumper does not hold the load if air pressure drops; use an external rod lock for position holding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X780SCA (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 MBL25X780SCA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X780SCA FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X780SCA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X780SCA, offering the same 25mm bore, 780mm stroke, CA pivot cover, and G1/8 port. You must update your sensors from the older CS1-M/DS1-M to the modern CMSG/DMSG/EMSG family.
At 0.5MPa, the push force is 245N and the pull force is 206N. At 0.7MPa, the push is 343N, with a maximum theoretical force of 50kgf at 1.0MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion; for adjustable air cushioning, specify the MBLC variant.
