This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD25X125-S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD25X125-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 MALD25X125-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X125-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 MBLD25X125-S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X125-S
The AirTAC MALD25X125-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. A rod exits both ends, so the annulus area is identical on each side. Push and pull force are equal: 206 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X125-S, matching the 25 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, G1/8 port and FA/LB mounting.
This SKU carries the -S magnet for CS1-M / DS1-M switches; the MBLD upgrade shifts to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The legacy MALD uses threaded covers, while the MBLD body is riveted and rolling-packed. There is no back cover or SDB option; you mount it on the body, FA flange or LB foot. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end impact.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X125-S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X125-S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X125-S |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 125 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 MBLD25X125-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 MBLD25X125-S matches these values.
Model Code: Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X125-S

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 MALD25X125-S Is Used
PCB Edge-Router Shuttle
Drives a depaneling saw carriage on a 125 mm stroke; twin rods stop chassis twist and hold 206 N of cutting force.
Dual-Pick Gripper Slide
Moves a two-claw pick-and-place head. The rear rod carries a CS1-M target flag to confirm travel.
Bottle Capper Press
Applies 289 N at 0.7 MPa to crimp aluminum caps. Equal push and pull force keeps the capping head level.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X125-S with MBLD25X125-S
To replace this MALD25X125-S with the MBLD25X125-S, confirm the 25 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, G1/8 port and FA or LB mounting. Because it is a double-rod unit, you must size on the equal force: 206 N at 0.5 MPa and 289 N at 0.7 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 20 mm bore (132 N at 0.5 MPa); if you need more, step up to the 32 mm bore (346 N at 0.5 MPa). At 125 mm stroke, twin rods resist twist well, but always support long loads to avoid rod side-load.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD25X125-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 MBLD25X125-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X125-S FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X125-S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X125-S, which matches the 25 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, G1/8 port and FA/LB mounting. The MBLD uses a riveted body instead of threaded covers, and its -S magnet works with CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches rather than the old CS1-M / DS1-M.
Because a rod exits both ends, the piston sees the same annulus area in both directions. The force is equal both ways: 206 N push and 206 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 289 N push and 289 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. A fixed rubber bumper softens end impact; it is not an adjustable cushion or a load lock.
