This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X800CA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X800CA 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 MAL25X800CA
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X800CA 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 MBL25X800CA, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X800CA
The AirTAC MAL25X800CA is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with an 800 mm stroke. Because 800 mm exceeds the 500 mm standard limit, this is a made-to-order unit. It delivers 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy series with the MBL25X800CA, a drop-in alternative retaining the exact same bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting.
This SKU lacks a -S magnet, so it cannot support a position sensor. Structurally, the legacy MAL uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL features a riveted rolling-packed body. The 10 mm carbon-steel rod has 20 um hard chrome plating, and the piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease for long-term lubrication.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X800CA 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 MBL25X800CA 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 MAL25X800CA Is Used
Textile Loom Feed
Drives a 800 mm travel guide bar in textile machinery, using the 245 N push force to tension and feed delicate yarn strands without snapping them.
Pallet Transfer Gate
Actuates a 800 mm pivoting diverter gate on a compact packaging conveyor, where the CA clevis mounting absorbs the lateral swing arc smoothly.
Vertical Tray Elevator
Raises lightweight component trays in an electronics assembly cell, relying on the 206 N pull force to retract the long rod within tight machine footprints.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X800CA with MBL25X800CA
To replace this cylinder, order the MBL25X800CA. Verify your port thread form (this SKU uses default PT tapered), and ensure your CA pivot clevis swings correctly on its pin to accommodate arcing loads. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, you cannot mount a CS1-M or DS1-M sensor; if you need position detection, step up to an MBL25X800SCA and use the modern CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 20 mm bore yields 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32 mm bore provides 402 N push. At 800 mm, the 10 mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; you must use an external guide rail or ensure the CA pivot absorbs the arc. The fixed rubber bumper softens stroke ends but is not an adjustable cushion—if you need deceleration control, specify the current-line MBLC. A plain bumper does not hold the load when air is lost, so add an external rod lock for fail-safe positioning.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X800CA (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 MBL25X800CA instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X800CA FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X800CA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X800CA, which matches the 25 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, 245 N push force, G1/8 port, and CA pivot mounting. The modern MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers.
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 245 N push and 206 N pull; at 0.7 MPa, push is 343 N, with a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This specific SKU has no -S magnet, meaning it cannot accept CS1-M or DS1-M position sensors.
