This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD25X150 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD25X150 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 MALD25X150
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X150 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 MBLD25X150, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X150
The AirTAC MALD25X150 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder delivering equal push and pull force of 206 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X150, matching the 25 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting footprint.
This SKU has no magnet (-S), so it cannot accept a position sensor. Unlike the threaded covers on this MALD, the MBLD replacement features a riveted rolling-packed body. The twin 10 mm carbon-steel rods with 20 um hard chrome resist rotation and double the bearing load, allowing a cam or flag to be mounted on the rear rod for dual-tooling setups.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X150 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X150 |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X150 |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 150 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 MBLD25X150 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 MBLD25X150 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X150 Is Used
PCB Depaneling Conveyor
Drives a synchronized push-pull gate at 206 N force both ways, using the twin rods to keep the blade perfectly aligned without twisting during the cut.
Dual-Station Pick and Place
Mounts a vacuum cup on the front rod and a mechanical flag on the rear rod, allowing the 150 mm stroke to transfer parts while triggering a physical cam limit.
Textile Loom Tensioner
Applies constant 289 N guiding force at 0.7 MPa on a yarn guide bar, exploiting the equal pull force to maintain uniform tension on the return stroke.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X150 with MBLD25X150
To replace the MALD25X150 with the MBLD25X150, confirm the 25 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, and M10x1.25 rod-end thread. Mounting is limited to FA flange or LB foot; there is no back-cover or SDB option. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support the older CS1-M/DS1-M switches (the MBLD uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors).
Size on the equal 206 N force. If you need less power, step down to the 20 mm bore (132 N at 0.5 MPa). If you need more thrust, step up to the 32 mm bore (346 N at 0.5 MPa). At 150 mm stroke, keep the load guided to prevent side-loading on the 10 mm rods.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD25X150 (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 MBLD25X150 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X150 FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X150 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X150, which matches the 25 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting dimensions. The MBLD upgrades the construction with a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers.
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. Note that this specific SKU has no -S magnet, so it cannot accept CS1-M or DS1-M position sensors.
