This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD25X70 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD25X70 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 MALD25X70
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X70 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 MBLD25X70, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X70
The AirTAC MALD25X70 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. Because a rod exits both ends, the annulus area is identical on each side, giving equal push and pull force of 206 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X70, matching the 25 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This SKU has no -S magnet code, so it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MALD uses threaded covers and a fixed rubber bumper, while the MBLD upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. The twin rods resist rotation and double the bearing load, letting you mount a cam or tool on the rear rod.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X70 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X70 |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X70 |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 70 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 MBLD25X70 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 MBLD25X70 matches these values.

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 MALD25X70 Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
Drives a circular blade with equal 206 N push and pull force, using the twin rods to resist blade yaw during 70 mm cuts.
Textile Loom Guide
Shifts a yarn guide back and forth; the rear rod carries a cam to trip a thread-break detector at the 70 mm stroke end.
Plastic Film Edge-Trim
Actuates a trimming knife across a web; the fixed rubber bumper absorbs the 70 mm end-impact without adjustable cushioning.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X70 with MBLD25X70
Replace this MALD25X70 with the exact MBLD25X70. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, G1/8 port, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and FA or LB mounting. Because this SKU lacks the -S code, it cannot take a sensor; if you need position sensing, specify an MBLD with -S and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M.
Size on the equal 206 N force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the 20 mm bore delivering 132 N. If you need more, step up to the 32 mm bore providing 346 N.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD25X70 (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 MBLD25X70 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X70 FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X70 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X70, which matches the 25 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting. The MBLD upgrades the construction from threaded covers to a riveted rolling-packed body.
The MALD25X70 is a double-rod cylinder, so a rod exits both ends and the annulus area is identical on each side. This makes push and pull force equal: 206 N at 0.5 MPa, 289 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this specific SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor.
