This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD25X35S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD25X35S 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 MALD25X35S
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X35S 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 MBLD25X35S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X35S
The AirTAC MALD25X35S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. A rod exits both ends, delivering equal push and pull force of 206 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X35S, matching the 25 mm bore, 35 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for rear-position sensing. The MALD uses older CS1-M / DS1-M switches, while the MBLD upgrades to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. The MALD has threaded covers, whereas the MBLD features a riveted rolling-packed body. It uses fixed rubber bumpers and mounts directly on the body, FA flange, or LB foot, as there is no back cover or SDB option.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X35S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X35S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X35S |
| 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 MBLD25X35S 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 MBLD25X35S matches these values.
Model Code: Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X35S
| MALD | Double-rod aluminum mini cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|

| ×35 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional magnet for a CS1-M / DS1-M sensor (MBLD uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG). |
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 MALD25X35S Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
Drives a depaneling blade on an electronics assembly line, using the twin rods to resist cutting side-load while delivering 206 N of equal push and pull force.
Shuttle Conveyor Diverter
Mounts a cam on the rear rod to trip a shuttle conveyor flow switch, using the -S magnet with a CS1-M sensor to confirm the 35 mm stroke endpoint.
Textile Loom Guide
Shifts a yarn tensioning guide on a textile loom, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to soften the high-speed 30-800 mm/s end impact without drift.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X35S with MBLD25X35S
Replace the MALD25X35S directly with the MBLD25X35S. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 35 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting. The -S magnet means a sensor family change from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG. Size using the equal 206 N force both ways at 0.5 MPa.
To step down, the 20 mm bore provides 132 N each way. To step up, the 32 mm bore yields 346 N each way. The 35 mm stroke is well within standard limits, so no side-load guide concerns apply.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD25X35S (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 MBLD25X35S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X35S FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X35S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X35S, which matches the 25 mm bore, 35 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and equal force. You will only need to upgrade your -S magnet switches from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
Force is equal both ways because the twin rods exiting both ends create the same annulus area on each side. The ratings are 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.
