This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD25X10S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD25X10S 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 MALD25X10S
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X10S 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 MBLD25X10S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X10S
The AirTAC MALD25X10S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. A rod exits both ends, so the annulus area is identical on each side. This means push and pull force are equal, giving you 206 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The direct drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X10S, which matches the 25 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/8 port and mounting.
This short-stroke unit uses a fixed rubber bumper, as there is no adjustable cushion. The original MALD has threaded covers, while the MBLD upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it supports CS1-M / DS1-M switches; the MBLD replacement moves to the CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensor family.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X10S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X10S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X10S |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 10 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 MBLD25X10S 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 MBLD25X10S matches these values.
Model Code: Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X10S

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 MALD25X10S Is Used
PCB Reject Gate
Drives a symmetrical push-pull diverter on an SMT line. The twin rods prevent yaw during the 10 mm snap motion, using the 206 N equal force to flick bad boards sideways without skewing.
Gripper Cam Actuator
Mounts a cam on the rear rod to sequence a secondary gripper jaw. The short 10 mm stroke snaps the cam over, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to soften the impact at both ends.
Label Applicator Head
Tamps a label onto a carton using the front rod while the rear rod carries a flag for a CS1-M sensor. The double-rod bearing handles the side load of the pad without binding.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X10S with MBLD25X10S
To replace this MALD25X10S, specify the MBLD25X10S. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, and FA or LB mounting. There is no back cover or SDB option on this double-rod body. If you need to step down, the 20 mm bore provides 132 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need to step up, the 32 mm bore yields 346 N at 0.5 MPa. Size your valves strictly on this equal 206 N force, not a larger single-rod push value.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD25X10S (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 MBLD25X10S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X10S FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X10S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X10S. It matches the 25 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and equal both-ways force. You will need to swap the CS1-M / DS1-M switches to the CMSG / DMSG / EMSG family for the new riveted body.
Because a rod exits both ends, the piston sees the same annulus area in each direction, making push and pull force identical. The ratings are 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, not an adjustable cushion or a load-holding lock.
