This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD25X65S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD25X65S 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 MALD25X65S
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X65S 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 MBLD25X65S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X65S
The AirTAC MALD25X65S 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 MBLD25X65S, matching the 25 mm bore, 65 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This -S SKU includes a magnet for CS1-M or DS1-M switches; the MBLD replacement upgrades this to CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The MALD uses threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, while the MBLD features a riveted rolling-packed body. The twin rods resist rotation and double the bearing load, allowing the rear rod to carry a cam or flag.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X65S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X65S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X65S |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 65 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 MBLD25X65S 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 MBLD25X65S matches these values.

| MALD | Double-rod aluminum mini cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×65 | 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 MALD25X65S Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
The twin rods resist rotation during the 65 mm cutting stroke, holding the saw blade perfectly straight without twisting under the 206 N load.
Dual-Pick Vacuum Lifter
The rear rod carries a cam to trigger a CS1-M sensor, confirming the 65 mm travel for a dual-tooling vacuum pick-and-place head.
Label Applicator Press
Equal 206 N push and pull force both ways ensures a label wiper arm applies consistent pressure on the extend and return strokes.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X65S with MBLD25X65S
Replace the MALD25X65S with the MBLD25X65S. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 65 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA or LB mounting (there is no back cover or SDB option). The -S magnet requires changing from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Size using the 206 N equal force. To step down, the 20 mm bore provides 132 N; to step up, the 32 mm bore provides 346 N at 0.5 MPa.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD25X65S (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 MBLD25X65S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X65S FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X65S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X65S, which matches the 25 mm bore, 65 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and force. You must upgrade the magnet switches from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
Because a rod exits both ends, the annulus area is identical on both sides. The 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. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
