This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD25X175 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD25X175 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 MALD25X175
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X175 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 MBLD25X175, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X175
The AirTAC MALD25X175 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. A 10mm rod exits both ends, yielding equal push and pull force of 206N at 0.5MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X175, matching the 25mm bore, 175mm stroke, G1/8 port and mounting.
This SKU has no -S magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor. The MALD used threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, while the MBLD upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body. Twin rods resist rotation and double the bearing load for guided slide applications.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X175 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X175 |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X175 |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 175 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 MBLD25X175 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 MBLD25X175 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 MALD25X175 Is Used
PCB Edge Routing
Twin rods provide anti-rotation for a routing spindle, delivering 206N to cut FR4 fiberglass panels without yaw.
Label Dispenser
Equal push and pull force moves a peel plate on a packaging line, while the rear rod mounts a mechanical cam.
Dual-Tool Pick
Attaching a vacuum cup to each protruding rod allows a 175mm synchronous pick of two plastic moldings.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X175 with MBLD25X175
Replace this MALD25X175 with the MBLD25X175, confirming the 175mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod thread and FA/LB mounting (there is no back cover or SDB option). Size strictly on the 206N equal force both ways. If you need less force, step down to the 20mm bore providing 132N at 0.5MPa. If you need more, step up to the 32mm bore giving 346N. At 175mm stroke, watch for rod-to-side-load and use an external guide to prevent binding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD25X175 (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 MBLD25X175 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X175 FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X175 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X175, matching the 25mm bore, 175mm stroke, G1/8 port and FA/LB mounting. The MBLD upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
Force is equal both ways: 206N push and 206N pull at 0.5MPa, 289N at 0.7MPa, and a maximum of 42kgf at 1.0MPa. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot take a position sensor; the -S version uses CS1-M/DS1-M switches, while the MBLD uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
