This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBL25X95SU — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBL25X95SU 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 MAL25X95SU
The AirTAC Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X95SU 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 MBL25X95SU, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X95SU
The AirTAC MAL25X95SU is a discontinued double-acting aluminum mini round cylinder with a 25mm bore and 95mm stroke. It delivers 245N push and 206N pull at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for medium-duty compact actuation. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X95SU, which matches the bore, stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and flat-end U back cover.
This legacy unit features a threaded front and rear body construction, whereas the current MBL utilizes a riveted rolling-packed body. The included -S magnet allows for rod position detection using older CS1-M or DS1-M reed switches; upgrading to the MBL necessitates the newer CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor families. Internally, a heterogeneous two-way seal retains grease, and the 10mm carbon-steel rod features 20um hard-chrome plating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MAL datasheet (now discontinued). The MBL25X95SU 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 MBL25X95SU 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 MAL25X95SU Is Used
PCB Conveyor Diverter
Pushes lightweight routing gates on a PCB conveyor using 245N of thrust at 0.5 MPa within a tight 95mm stroke envelope.
Electronics Test Socket
Actuates an IC test socket with 206N of pull force, relying on the 10mm hard-chrome rod for precise retraction.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds small cardboard flaps on a packaging line where the compact 25mm body fits between existing conveyor rails.
Replacing the Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X95SU with MBL25X95SU
To replace the MAL25X95SU, order the MBL25X95SU to retain the exact 25mm bore, 95mm stroke, G1/8 port, and flat-end U back cover. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you must update your sensing setup: the legacy CS1-M and DS1-M switches are replaced by CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the MBL. If your application requires an adjustable air cushion rather than the fixed rubber bumper found on this MAL, step up to the MBLC variant on the current line.
For sizing flexibility, stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 157N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32mm bore provides 402N push. At 95mm of stroke, side-load stress on the 10mm rod is moderate, but external guides are recommended if deflecting loads exist. Note that the bumper only softens end-of-stroke impacts; it does not lock the rod, so a separate pilot-operated check valve is required to hold a load safely during air loss.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBL25X95SU (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 MBL25X95SU instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MAL25 Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MAL25X95SU FAQ
Yes, the MAL25X95SU is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBL25X95SU, which matches the 25mm bore, 95mm stroke, G1/8 port, U back cover, and -S magnet. The main upgrade is the riveted rolling-packed body replacing the threaded covers, and the sensor family changes from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
At 0.5 MPa, the 25mm bore provides 245N push and 206N pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 343N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.1-1.0 MPa.
