This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X80-S-CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X80-S-CM 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 MAL25X80-S-CM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X80-S-CM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 80mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X80-S-CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X80-S-CM
The AirTAC MAL25X80-S-CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. It delivers 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 25 mm bore and an 80 mm stroke. The drop-in replacement is the MBL25X80-S-CM, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end back cover exactly.
This legacy unit features a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing with older CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBL successor upgrades to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The original MAL uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL relies on a riveted rolling-packed body. Both share a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X80-S-CM 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 MBL25X80-S-CM 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 MAL25X80-S-CM Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Provides 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa to actuate the cutting head on a compact depaneling machine, fitting easily into tight electronics assembly cells.
Bottle Divert Gate
Drives a small diverting flap on a 80 mm stroke to sort plastic bottles on a packaging line, using the CM round-end to accommodate slight pivot misalignment.
Carton Flap Folder
Pushes minor flaps on small cartons prior to sealing, where the 25 mm bore offers enough force without tearing the cardboard.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X80-S-CM with MBL25X80-S-CM
To replace the MAL25X80-S-CM, order the MBL25X80-S-CM, ensuring you keep the CM round-end back cover and the -S magnet. Because the sensor family changes from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG on the new unit, you must update your reed switches. If your application requires less force, step down to the 20 mm bore (157 N push at 0.5 MPa); if you need more power, step up to the 32 mm bore (402 N push at 0.5 MPa). The fixed rubber bumper softens the stroke but is not an adjustable cushion; for adjustable air cushioning, specify the MBLC variant. A plain cylinder cannot hold a load when air pressure drops, so add an external rod lock if gravity drift is unacceptable.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X80-S-CM (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 MBL25X80-S-CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X80-S-CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X80-S-CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X80-S-CM, which matches the 25 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, G1/8 port, CM round-end, and output force. You will need to update your sensors, as the MBL uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M type.
At 0.5 MPa, the 25 mm bore provides 245 N push and 206 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 343 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
