This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD25X35 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD25X35 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 MALD25X35
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X35 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 MBLD25X35, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X35
The AirTAC MALD25X35 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. A rod exits both ends, so push and pull force are equal at 206 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The direct drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X35, matching the 25 mm bore, 35 mm stroke, G1/8 port and mounting.
This SKU has no magnet (-S), so it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MALD uses threaded covers and fixed rubber bumpers. The MBLD upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body; if you later need sensing, the MBLD uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M family.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X35 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X35 |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X35 |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 35 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 MBLD25X35 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 MBLD25X35 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X35 Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
Drives a circular blade both directions with equal 206 N force, ensuring a consistent cut through FR-4 fiberglass boards without asymmetric pushback.
Pick-and-Place Z-Axis
Twin rods resist rotation during vertical component placement, while the rear rod can mechanically trigger a cam limit switch for cycle counting.
Film Roll Edge Guide
Maintains web tracking on packaging lines. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact without drifting under varying air pressure.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X35 with MBLD25X35
Replace this MALD25X35 with the MBLD25X35. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 35 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread and FA/LB mounting (there is no back-cover or SDB option on this double-rod body). Size your load on the equal 206 N force at 0.5 MPa. To step down, the 20 mm bore gives 132 N; to step up, the 32 mm bore provides 346 N. At 35 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but always support long loads to protect the rods.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD25X35 (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 MBLD25X35 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X35 FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X35 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X35, matching the 25 mm bore, 35 mm stroke, G1/8 port and mounting. The MBLD uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers.
Because a rod exits both ends, the annulus area is identical on both sides. Push and pull forces are equal: 206 N at 0.5 MPa, 289 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This SKU has no magnet, so it cannot take a sensor.
