This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD25X75 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD25X75 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 MALD25X75
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X75 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 MBLD25X75, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X75
The AirTAC MALD25X75 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. A rod exits both ends, yielding 206 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X75, matching the 25 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor. The original MALD uses threaded covers and CS1-M/DS1-M switches, whereas the MBLD upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. It relies on a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion, and mounts via FA/LB directly on the body since no back cover or SDB exists.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X75 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X75 |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X75 |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 75 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 MBLD25X75 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 MBLD25X75 matches these values.

Where the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X75 Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw
Drives a synchronized cutting blade on a depaneling router, using the twin rods to resist rotational drift and maintain a square 206 N cut across the board.
Textile Loom Guide
Actuates a yarn guide on a weaving loom where the equal push and pull force prevents tension snags during high-speed 75 mm reciprocation.
Bottle Capper Head
Lifts and lowers a capping chuck on a rotary filler, using the rear rod extension to mount a mechanical cam flag for timing synchronization.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X75 with MBLD25X75
Replace this MALD25X75 with the MBLD25X75, confirming the 25 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, and FA/LB mounting. Size strictly on the 206 N equal force both ways at 0.5 MPa. To step down, the 20 mm bore provides 132 N; to step up, the 32 mm bore provides 346 N. Because this is a no-magnet SKU, you cannot add a sensor without changing to an -S variant.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD25X75 (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 MBLD25X75 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X75 FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X75 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X75, which matches the 25 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and FA/LB mounting. The MBLD upgrades the construction to a riveted rolling-packed body and uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors instead of the older CS1-M/DS1-M switches.
The force is equal both ways because a rod exits each end, making the piston area an annulus on both sides. The ratings are 206 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa, 289 N push and pull at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
