This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X800-S-CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X800-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 MAL25X800-S-CM
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X800-S-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-S-CM, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X800-S-CM
The AirTAC MAL25X800-S-CM is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder. Because the 800 mm stroke exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum, this unit was a non-standard, made-to-order configuration. It delivers 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X800-S-CM, which matches the original bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and mounting accessories exactly.
This SKU features a built-in -S magnet for rod position sensing. On the legacy MAL, this magnet works with the older CS1-M and DS1-M switches, but the MBL replacement transitions to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families. Additionally, the original MAL utilized threaded front and back covers on the barrel, whereas the modern MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body. Both designs share the same compact aluminum profile, but the MBL offers superior structural rigidity for long-stroke applications.

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 MAL25X800-S-CM Is Used
Textile Yarn Guide
Moves a yarn guide carriage across a 800 mm beam width; the 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily overcomes carriage friction, while the CM round-end accommodates minor frame warp.
Pallet Push-off Assembly
Ejects small molded plastic pallets from a continuous cooling conveyor, utilizing the full 800 mm travel to clear a wide downstream sorting chute.
Vertical Tray Elevator
Raises lightweight stacked component trays between machine tiers; the -S magnet triggers a CS1-M switch at the top to verify the lift cycle completed before the next batch drops.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X800-S-CM with MBL25X800-S-CM
To replace the MAL25X800-S-CM, order the MBL25X800-S-CM. Confirm the G1/8 port and the default PT tapered thread form are compatible with your existing air lines. The CM round-end back cover on this unit is designed for articulating rod-end attachments that accommodate slight misalignment. Because this is a non-standard 800 mm stroke, expect a made-to-order lead time.
At 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore provides 245 N push and 206 N pull. If you need less force, step down to the 20 mm bore (157 N push at 0.5 MPa). If your application requires more thrust, step up to the 32 mm bore (402 N push at 0.5 MPa). An 800 mm stroke on a 10 mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; you must use an external guide rail or a pivot bracket to prevent rod damage. Note that the fixed rubber bumper only softens end-of-stroke impacts and does not hold the load if air pressure drops. For adjustable end-cushioning, specify the MBLC variant on the current line instead of the standard MBL.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X800-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 MBL25X800-S-CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X800-S-CM FAQ
Yes, the MAL series is end-of-life. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X800-S-CM, which matches the 25 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, G1/8 port, CM round-end back cover, and 245 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The MBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers, and its -S magnet requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M or DS1-M sensors.
At 0.5 MPa, the 25 mm bore provides 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 343 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 800 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length that exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum.
