This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD25X210S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD25X210S 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 MALD25X210S
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X210S 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 MBLD25X210S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X210S
The AirTAC MALD25X210S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. A rod exits both ends, so the annulus area is identical on both sides. This means push and pull force are equal, giving you 206 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X210S, matching the 25 mm bore, 210 mm stroke, G1/8 port and FA/LB mounting.
This -S SKU includes a magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M switches; the MBLD upgrade uses CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. The MALD has threaded covers, while the MBLD uses a riveted rolling-packed body. There is no back cover or SDB option; mount it on the body, FA flange or LB foot. It relies on a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X210S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X210S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X210S |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 210 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 MBLD25X210S 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 MBLD25X210S matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X210S Is Used
PCB Pick-and-Place
Drives a dual-vacuum head on a PCB assembly line. The 206 N equal force and twin rods prevent chassis twist during rapid vertical placement moves.
Textile Loom Guide
Shifts a yarn guide bar on a weaving loom. The rear rod carries a cam for a DS1-M sensor, tracking the 210 mm stroke without adding external brackets.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds minor flaps on a packaging conveyor. The second rod resists rotational drag from sticky cardboard, keeping the folding blade true over 210 mm.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X210S with MBLD25X210S
To replace the MALD25X210S with the MBLD25X210S, confirm your 25 mm bore, 210 mm stroke, G1/8 port and M10x1.25 rod-end thread. Check your FA or LB mounting, as there is no back-cover code. If you used the -S magnet, swap your CS1-M/DS1-M switches for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
Size on the equal 206 N force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 20 mm bore, which provides 132 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If you need more, step up to the 32 mm bore, which provides 346 N both ways. At 210 mm stroke, twin rods add bearing support, but verify your side-load limits to prevent guide wear.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD25X210S (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 MBLD25X210S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X210S FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X210S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X210S. It matches the 25 mm bore, 210 mm stroke, G1/8 port and FA/LB mounting. You must upgrade your switches from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
Because a rod exits both ends, the piston sees the same annulus area in both directions. The force is 206 N push and 206 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 289 N each way at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
