This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD25X130S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD25X130S 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 MALD25X130S
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X130S 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 MBLD25X130S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X130S
The AirTAC MALD25X130S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. A rod exits both ends, so the annulus area is identical on both sides, giving an equal 206 N push and pull force at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X130S, matching the 25 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This -S SKU includes a magnet for the older CS1-M / DS1-M switches, while the MBLD25X130S upgrade uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The MALD has threaded covers, whereas the MBLD features a riveted rolling-packed body. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, has no back cover or SDB, and mounts via FA or LB directly to the body.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X130S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X130S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X130S |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 130 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 MBLD25X130S 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 MBLD25X130S 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 MALD25X130S Is Used
PCB Pick-and-Place
Uses the 206 N equal force and twin rods to lift and lower vacuum heads without rotation, ensuring precise component placement on printed circuit boards.
Textile Loom Guiding
The rear rod acts as a guide for a cam follower in weaving machines, leveraging the 130 mm stroke to maintain fabric tension without skewing.
Dual-End Sealing Press
Simultaneously seals two pouches from both ends, using the anti-rotation twin rods to keep the sealing jaws perfectly parallel during the 130 mm travel.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X130S with MBLD25X130S
Replace this MALD25X130S with the drop-in MBLD25X130S. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, PT G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread, and FA/LB mounting. The -S magnet means your CS1-M / DS1-M switches must change to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG on the MBLD. Size on the 206 N equal 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. At 130 mm stroke, guide the load to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD25X130S (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 MBLD25X130S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X130S FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X130S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X130S, which matches the 25 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting. The MBLD upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design and changes the magnet switches from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the push and pull forces 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, not an adjustable cushion.
