This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD25X220S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD25X220S 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 MALD25X220S
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X220S 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 MBLD25X220S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X220S
The AirTAC MALD25X220S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. A rod exits both ends of the 25 mm bore, producing exactly 206 N of force in both push and pull directions at 0.5 MPa. The direct drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X220S, which matches the 220 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and equal-both-ways force.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for position sensing. On the MALD it pairs with CS1-M / DS1-M switches, while the MBLD replacement uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The legacy MALD uses threaded covers, whereas the MBLD upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body. Both rely on a fixed rubber bumper, as neither features an adjustable cushion.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X220S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X220S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X220S |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 220 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 MBLD25X220S 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 MBLD25X220S matches these values.
Model Code: Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X220S

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 MALD25X220S Is Used
PCB Shuttle Transfer
Moves bare boards between inspection lanes using 206 N of equal force, relying on twin rods to prevent yaw during the 220 mm traverse.
Label Applicator Cam
Uses the extended rear rod to drive a mechanical cam, synchronizing the label feed with the 289 N power stroke at 0.7 MPa.
Textile Yarn Guide
Shifts a yarn guide across a 220 mm width; the dual rods provide the bearing capacity needed for continuous textile machinery duty.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X220S with MBLD25X220S
To replace the MALD25X220S, specify the MBLD25X220S and confirm the 25 mm bore, 220 mm stroke, PT G1/8 port, and -S magnet. Remember that the sensor family changes from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. Mount via the body, FA flange, or LB foot, as there is no back cover or SDB option.
Size on the equal 206 N force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less power, step down to the 20 mm bore (132 N @0.5 MPa). If you need more, step up to the 32 mm bore (346 N @0.5 MPa). Because the 220 mm stroke is long, ensure external guides support side loads to prevent rod binding.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD25X220S (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 MBLD25X220S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X220S FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X220S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X220S, matching the 25 mm bore, 220 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting. You must upgrade your sensors: the old MALD -S magnet used CS1-M / DS1-M switches, while the MBLD uses CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, 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. It uses a fixed rubber bumper at end-of-stroke and does not feature adjustable cushions or a load-holding lock.
