This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X80SCASDB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X80SCASDB 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 MAL25X80SCASDB
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X80SCASDB 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 MBL25X80SCASDB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X80SCASDB
The AirTAC MAL25X80SCASDB is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 80 mm stroke. It delivers 245 N of push force and 206 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X80SCASDB, which matches the bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, magnet, and SDB mounting. You can install the MBL without altering your existing plumbing or fixtures.
This legacy SKU includes a CA pivot back cover and an SDB pivot bracket to absorb arcing rod movements. The original MAL body uses threaded front and back covers, whereas the current MBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this unit carries the -S magnet, it was designed for the older CS1-M and DS1-M reed switches; the MBL successor transitions to the modern CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensor families.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X80SCASDB 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 MBL25X80SCASDB 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 MAL25X80SCASDB Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
Pushes a carrier fixture through a circular blade at 245 N, relying on the 80 mm stroke and the SDB pivot to forgive any slight rail misalignment.
Pouch Sorting Diverter
Extends an 80 mm arm to kick lightweight cartons off a belt, using the CA clevis to swing smoothly without binding the 10 mm rod.
Connector Insertion Press
Drives a gold-plated pin into a socket with 206 N of pull force, where the -S magnet confirms seat position via a CS1-M sensor.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X80SCASDB with MBL25X80SCASDB
To replace this MAL, order the MBL25X80SCASDB. Verify your 80 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and the PT tapered thread form. Retain the CA clevis and SDB pivot bracket to maintain your existing swivel mechanics. If your load requires a softer end-of-stroke stop than the fixed rubber bumper provides, step up to the current MBLC series for its adjustable air cushion. If you need to hold a vertical load during an air-loss event, note that neither the MAL nor the MBL acts as a lock—you must add an external pilot-operated check valve or a rod lock.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to a 20 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N, while stepping up to a 32 mm bore increases it to 402 N. At 80 mm of travel, side-load stress on the 10 mm rod is moderate, but the CA pivot and SDB bracket actively compensate for any angular misalignment. The self-lubricating front-cover bearing guide and the heterogeneous two-way grease-retaining seal help maximize the service life of the 20 um hard-chrome plated carbon-steel rod.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X80SCASDB (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 MBL25X80SCASDB instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X80SCASDB FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X80SCASDB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X80SCASDB, which provides identical bore, stroke, force, port, and SDB mounting. The MBL uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers, and if you use the -S magnet, you must switch from the old CS1-M or DS1-M switches to the current CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 245 N and the pull force is 206 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 343 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke damping, not an adjustable cushion.
