This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALD series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLD25X200S, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X200-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 direct replacement is the MBLD25X200-S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X200-S
The AirTAC MALD25X200-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod pneumatic cylinder. Because a rod exits both ends, the annulus area is identical on each side, delivering equal push and pull force of 206 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MBLD25X200-S, which matches the 25 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting.
This -S SKU includes a magnet for position sensing. The legacy MALD uses CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBLD upgrade uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The original threaded covers are replaced by a riveted rolling-packed body on the MBLD. Both generations use a fixed rubber bumper for end-of-stroke impact absorption, and neither provides a powered hold on air loss.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X200-S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X200-S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X200-S |
| 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-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 MBLD25X200-S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X200-S Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
Drives a circular saw blade for singulating assembled circuit boards. The twin rods prevent blade rotation during the 200 mm cut, while the 206 N equal force ensures consistent feed on both the cutting and return strokes.
Shuttle Conveyor Transfer
Indexes a pallet between two machining stations. The rear rod carries a cam to trip a limit switch, using the 25 mm bore to maintain balanced 206 N push and pull forces without twisting the transfer carriage.
Gripper Slide Actuation
Opens and closes a dual-jaw gripper for plastic injection mold parts. The double-rod design doubles the bearing surface for the 200 mm travel, absorbing lateral weight from the tooling without sagging.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X200-S with MBLD25X200-S
To replace the MALD25X200-S, order the MBLD25X200-S and confirm the 25 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and FA or LB mounting. Because this is a double-rod cylinder, there is no back-cover or SDB option; mount directly on the body. Size your application using the equal force of 206 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 20 mm bore providing 132 N each way; if you need more force, step up to the 32 bore delivering 346 N each way. At 200 mm stroke, twin rods provide excellent anti-rotation support, but always guide the load to prevent rod side-load binding on long slides.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD25X200-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 MBLD25X200-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X200-S FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X200-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLD25X200-S, matching the 25 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting. You must upgrade your position sensors: the MALD uses CS1-M or DS1-M switches, while the MBLD uses CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Being a double-rod cylinder, the push and pull forces are equal: 206 N at 0.5 MPa and 289 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum force of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper at each end for impact absorption; it does not have an adjustable cushion, and it will not hold a load if air pressure is lost.
