This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X800-CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X800-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 MAL25X800-CM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X800-CM is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 800mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X800-CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X800-CM
The AirTAC MAL25X800-CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder featuring a 25mm bore and an 800mm non-standard, made-to-order stroke. It delivers 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Because this MAL series is end-of-life, AirTAC provides the MBL25X800-CM as the exact drop-in replacement. The MBL successor matches the original bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end mounting, allowing seamless machine integration without redesign.
This specific SKU lacks a built-in magnet (-S), meaning it cannot support a position sensor. The original MAL body utilized threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body for enhanced structural integrity. Inside, the cylinder relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease, paired with a self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide. The 10mm carbon-steel rod is treated with 20 um hard-chrome plating to resist wear over the extended 800mm travel distance.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X800-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 MBL25X800-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 MAL25X800-CM Is Used
Textile Loom Guide
Shifts a yarn guide carriage across an 800mm weaving width; the 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily overcomes fabric tension and guide friction.
Pallet Push-Off
Ejects empty pallets from a packaging line, utilizing the full 800mm travel to clear the conveyor lane before the next cycle.
Drawer Actuation
Pulls heavy material storage drawers open and closed, where the 206 N pull force securely retracts the loaded rack along extended rails.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X800-CM with MBL25X800-CM
To replace the MAL25X800-CM, order the MBL25X800-CM, ensuring you keep the PT thread, CM round-end back cover, and lack of a magnet. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept CS1-M or DS1-M sensors; if you require position detection, you must upgrade to an MBL25X800S-CM and use the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switch family. If you need to adjust the force, stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32mm bore provides 402 N push at 0.5 MPa.
With an 800mm stroke on a 10mm rod, side-load tolerance is extremely low. You must use an external guide rail or a pivot mounting accessory to prevent rod bending and premature seal failure. The cylinder uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion; if end-of-stroke impact becomes an issue, consider the MBLC variant on the current line. Finally, a plain MAL or MBL does not hold its load when air pressure is lost—the rod will drift—so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe positioning.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X800-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 MBL25X800-CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X800-CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X800-CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X800-CM, which provides the same 25mm bore, 800mm stroke, 50 kgf max force, G1/8 port, and CM round-end mounting.
The 25mm bore generates 245 N push and 206 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 800mm stroke exceeds the 500mm standard maximum, making it a non-standard, made-to-order length.
