This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD25X200 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD25X200 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 MALD25X200
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X200 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 MBLD25X200, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X200
The AirTAC MALD25X200 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. A Ø10 mm carbon-steel rod with 20 µm hard chrome exits both ends of the 25 mm bore, yielding equal push and pull force of 206 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X200, matching the 200 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and 42 kgf max force.
This SKU has no magnet (-S) and cannot accept a position sensor. The MALD uses threaded covers and fixed rubber bumpers, whereas the MBLD upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. Twin rods double the bearing area and resist rotation, allowing a rear rod to carry a cam or flag without adding a separate guide.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X200 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X200 |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X200 |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 200 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 MBLD25X200 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 MBLD25X200 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X200 Is Used
PCB Edge Deburring
Drives a dual-sided deburring blade across printed circuit boards, using the 206 N equal force and twin rods to prevent blade yaw during the 200 mm traverse.
Textile Loom Beam Index
Indexes a warp beam cam on the rear rod, leveraging the anti-rotation properties to hold precise angular positioning without mechanical slippage.
Bottle Capping Sync
Synchronizes a capping head feed on a rotary filler, where the fixed rubber bumpers absorb the 200 mm travel end-impact without requiring adjustment.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X200 with MBLD25X200
Replace the MALD25X200 directly with the MBLD25X200, confirming the 25 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and G1/8 PT port. Mounting is limited to FA flange or LB foot on the body, as there is no back cover or SDB option. Size using the equal 206 N (0.5 MPa) force; if you need less power, step down to the 20 mm bore delivering 132 N, or step up to the 32 mm bore providing 346 N. For this 200 mm stroke, ensure external guides support side loads to prevent rod binding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD25X200 (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 MBLD25X200 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X200 FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X200 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X200, matching the 25 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and 42 kgf max force. The MBLD upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design.
Force is equal because a rod exits both ends, making the piston area an annulus on both sides. The push and pull forces are identical: 206 N at 0.5 MPa, 289 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
