This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD25X100-S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD25X100-S 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-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X100-S 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-S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X100-S
The AirTAC MALD25X100-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. A rod exits both ends of the 25 mm bore, yielding equal force both ways at 206 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X100-S, matching the 100 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This unit features a 10 mm hard-chrome carbon-steel rod with an M10x1.25 end thread. The -S magnet works with CS1-M / DS1-M switches, whereas the MBLD replacement uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. MALD uses threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper; the newer MBLD features a riveted rolling-packed body.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X100-S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X100-S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X100-S |
| 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-S 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-S 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-S Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
Drives a synchronized blade carriage on a depaneling router using 206 N of equal push and pull force, ensuring a smooth, chatter-free cut across the 100 mm travel.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Uses the twin-rod anti-rotation geometry to hold a yarn guide bar flat without twisting, maintaining precise fabric tension during high-speed weaving.
Bottle Capping Head
Mounts a capping chuck on the front rod and a CS1-M / DS1-M position sensor on the rear rod to verify torque application without blocking the work area.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X100-S with MBLD25X100-S
To replace the MALD25X100-S, install the drop-in MBLD25X100-S. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and FA or LB mounting. The -S magnet requires a sensor family change from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. There is no back cover or SDB option on this body.
Size on the equal 206 N force at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down, the 20 mm bore provides 132 N. Stepping up, the 32 mm bore provides 346 N. At 100 mm stroke, guide the load to prevent rod side-load and premature seal wear.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD25X100-S (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-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X100-S FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X100-S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X100-S, which matches the 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and equal force. You will need to switch your position sensors from the older CS1-M / DS1-M to the newer CMSG / DMSG / EMSG family.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, push and pull force are equal: 206 N at 0.5 MPa, 289 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper at end-of-stroke, not an adjustable cushion, and cannot hold a load on air loss.
