This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD25X100 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD25X100 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 MALD25X100
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X100 is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder: a rod exits both ends of the Ø25mm bore, so push and pull force are equal. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X100, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X100
The AirTAC MALD25X100 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. A rod exits both ends, delivering equal force both ways at 206 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X100, matching the 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This SKU has no magnet (-S), so it cannot take a position sensor. The original MALD uses threaded covers and CS1-M / DS1-M switches; the MBLD upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. It uses a fixed rubber bumper and mounts via FA or LB only, with no back cover or SDB option.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X100 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X100 |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X100 |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 100 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |
| 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 MBLD25X100 carries the same ratings.
Output Force — Equal Both Ways (Ø25mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 206 N | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 289 N | 289 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 42 kgf | |
A rod exits both ends, so the effective area — and force — is equal in both directions. The MBLD25X100 matches these values.

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 MALD25X100 Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Drives a cutting head on a depaneling router. The twin rods resist cutting torque, keeping the 100 mm stroke travel true without yaw.
Textile Yeme Guide
Shifts a yarn guide back and forth across a loom beam. Equal 206 N push and pull force ensures symmetric tension on the reversal.
Dual-Pick Vacuum Tooling
Mounts a vacuum cup on each rod end to pick and place two parts in one cycle, using the rear rod as an active tooling surface.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X100 with MBLD25X100
Replace the MALD25X100 with the MBLD25X100, confirming the 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA or LB mounting. Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor; the MBLD upgrade moves to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches. Size on the equal 206 N force at 0.5 MPa. To step down, the 20 mm bore gives 132 N; to step up, the 32 mm bore gives 346 N.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD25X100 (same bore/stroke/force)
- ✓ Force equal both ways (206 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 MBLD25X100 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X100 FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X100 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X100, matching the 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting. The MBLD uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers.
Force is equal both ways because a rod exits both ends, making the annulus area identical on each side. The figures are 206 N push and 206 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 289 N each way at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
