This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X95CALB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X95CALB 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 MAL25X95CALB
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X95CALB is a double-acting aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 95mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and a fixed rubber bumper. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBL25X95CALB, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X95CALB
The AirTAC MAL25X95CALB is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and 95mm stroke. It delivers 245N of push force and 206N of pull force at 0.5MPa, peaking at a 50kgf maximum theoretical output at 1.0MPa. AirTAC ended this series, replacing it with the MBL25X95CALB. This current MBL unit is a drop-in replacement retaining the exact 95mm stroke, G1/8 port, LB foot mount, and CA pivot cover.
This legacy SKU features a CA pivot back cover designed to swing on a pin for arcing loads, paired with an LB foot bracket for secure base mounting. Because this specific model lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MAL body used threaded front and back covers, whereas the modern MBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. Both designs utilize a carbon-steel rod with 20um hard chrome plating and a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains grease for long service life.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X95CALB 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 MBL25X95CALB 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 MAL25X95CALB Is Used
Package Divert Arm
Swings a lightweight routing gate on a packaging line using the CA pivot, relying on 245N push force at 0.5MPa to deflect small cardboard boxes.
Textile Yarn Guide
Pivots a thread guide mechanism across a 95mm arc, where the LB foot mount holds the cylinder base rigid while the clevis allows the rod end to swing.
Bin Lid Actuation
Lifts a small access hatch on a parts dispensing hopper, using the compact 25mm body to fit within tight machine guarding where space is restricted.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X95CALB with MBL25X95CALB
To replace the obsolete MAL25X95CALB, order the MBL25X95CALB. Confirm your 25mm bore, 95mm stroke, PT tapered thread, CA pivot back cover, and LB foot mounting accessory all match. Since this SKU has no -S magnet, you cannot mount a sensor; if you need position detection on the new MBL, add the S option and note that the sensor family changes from the old CS1-M/DS1-M to the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The MAL relies on a fixed rubber bumper; if your application requires an adjustable air cushion, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line.
For sizing flexibility, 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. A plain cylinder does not hold its load when air is lost, so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if drift is unacceptable. At 95mm of stroke, the 10mm rod handles normal loads, but for longer strokes over 300mm you must manage side-load to prevent rod bending by using an external guide or the CA pivot.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X95CALB (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 MBL25X95CALB instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X95CALB FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X95CALB is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X95CALB, which matches the 25mm bore, 95mm stroke, G1/8 port, LB foot mount, and CA pivot. The MBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design instead of threaded covers.
At 0.5MPa it provides 245N push and 206N pull. At 0.7MPa the push force is 343N. The maximum theoretical force is 50kgf at 1.0MPa. Note this SKU has no -S magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor.
