This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD20X110S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD20X110S in place of this model. The MBLD replacement upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (the MAL used CS1-M / DS1-M).
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD20X110S
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD20X110S is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder: a rod exits both ends of the Ø20mm bore, so push and pull force are equal. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBLD20X110S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD20X110S
The AirTAC MALD20X110S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. A rod exits both ends, delivering 132 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa (185 N at 0.7 MPa, 27 kgf max). The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD20X110S, matching the 20 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This twin-rod design resists rotation and doubles the bearing load for guided slides. It uses a fixed rubber bumper and threaded covers, while the MBLD upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. The -S magnet works with CS1-M / DS1-M switches; the MBLD replacement uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD20X110S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD20X110S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD20X110S |
| Bore size | Ø20 mm |
| Stroke | 110 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| Rod thread | M8×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.1 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed rubber bumper |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 300 mm |
Double-rod types have no back-cover code and no SDB pivot; mount on the body, LB foot or FA flange. The MBLD20X110S carries the same ratings.
Output Force — Equal Both Ways (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 132 N | 132 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 185 N | 185 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 27 kgf | |
A rod exits both ends, so the effective area — and force — is equal in both directions. The MBLD20X110S matches these values.
Model Code: Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD20X110S

Replacement: MALD → MBLD. No back-cover (CA/U/CM) and no SDB on double-rod. Mounting: LB / FA.
Where the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD20X110S Is Used
PCB Panel Transfer
Drives a dual-sided sync slide moving bare PCBs between SMT inspection lanes, using the 132 N equal force to push and retract without rotational drift.
Connector Insertion Jig
Presses M8 circular connectors into housing blocks with 185 N at 0.7 MPa, using the twin rods to keep the insertion tool perfectly perpendicular.
Rear-Cam Actuation
Uses the rear rod extension to trigger an external mechanical cam on a small parts sorter, sequencing the diverter gate while the front rod performs the pick.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD20X110S with MBLD20X110S
To replace the MALD20X110S with the MBLD20X110S, confirm the 20 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, G1/8 port, M8x1.25 rod thread, and FA or LB mounting (there is no back cover or SDB option). Size your application on the equal 132 N force both ways. If you need less force, step down to the MALD16X110S (confirm from datasheet). If you need more force, step up to the 25 mm bore, which provides 206 N at 0.5 MPa. For the 110 mm stroke, ensure adequate side-load guidance to prevent binding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD20X110S (same bore/stroke/force)
- ✓ Force equal both ways (132 N at 0.5 MPa)
- ✓ Twin rods for anti-rotation / rear flag
- ✓ No back cover / SDB — plan a body or FA/LB mount
- ✓ Sensor: swap CS1-M/DS1-M → CMSG/DMSG/EMSG
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.1 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Protect both rod ends from side load on long strokes.
- check No back-cover / SDB on double-rod — use body / FA / LB.
- check Front/rear covers are threaded — not for field disassembly.
- check For new builds, specify the MBLD20X110S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD20X110S FAQ
Yes, the MALD20X110S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD20X110S, which matches the 20 mm bore, 110 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting. The MBLD upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed construction and changes the sensor family from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
Because a rod exits both ends, the annulus area is identical on the extend and retract sides, making push and pull force equal. The figures are 132 N at 0.5 MPa, 185 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 27 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
