This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X800U — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X800U 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 MAL25X800U
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X800U 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 MBL25X800U, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X800U
The AirTAC MAL25X800U is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and an 800mm stroke. Because 800mm exceeds the 500mm standard maximum, this length was a made-to-order item. It delivers 245N of push force and 206N of pull force at 0.5MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X800U, which matches the bore, stroke, force, G1/8 port, and U flat-end back cover.
This legacy model features a U-type flat-end back cover for rigid rear mounting, and because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept any position sensor. The original MAL used threaded front and back covers on the barrel, whereas the current MBL replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. Both designs share a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping and a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease for long service life.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X800U 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 MBL25X800U 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 MAL25X800U Is Used
Long-Reach Ejection
Pushes finished molded plastic parts out of an injection molding machine cavity using 245N of push force at 0.5MPa over an 800mm extension.
Pallet Transfer
Actuates a 800mm stroke transfer arm to push heavy pallets onto a secondary conveyor line, relying on the rigid U-type back cover for stable mounting.
Deep Bin Extraction
Reaches deep into vertical storage racks to extract automotive component bins, utilizing the 25mm bore's 206N pull force to retract the load.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X800U with MBL25X800U
To replace the MAL25X800U, order the MBL25X800U. Confirm your 25mm bore, 800mm non-standard stroke, PT thread, and U flat-end back cover. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support a sensor; if you need position detection, you must upgrade to an MBL25X800US and switch from the legacy CS1-M / DS1-M switches to the modern CMSG / DMSG / EMSG family. If you need to adjust force, stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 157N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 32mm bore provides 402N push at 0.5MPa.
At 800mm of stroke, the 10mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; you must use an external guide rail to prevent rod damage. Note that the fixed rubber bumper is not an adjustable cushion—if you need end-of-stroke deceleration for this long stroke, specify the MBLC variant on the current line. Additionally, a plain MAL or MBL cylinder does not hold its load when air pressure is lost; the rod will drift, so utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for safety.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X800U (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 MBL25X800U instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X800U FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X800U is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X800U, which shares the same 25mm bore, 800mm stroke, 50 kgf max force, G1/8 port, and U flat-end mounting. You can install the MBL without modifying your existing machine.
At 0.5MPa, the 25mm bore provides 245N push and 206N pull force. At 0.7MPa, push force is 343N, and the maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0MPa. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor; legacy MAL -S models used CS1-M / DS1-M switches, while the MBL replacement uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches.
