This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALD series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLD25X75S, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. 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-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X75-S 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 direct replacement is the MBLD25X75-S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X75-S
The AirTAC MALD25X75-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder delivering equal force both ways—206 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa. Its direct replacement is the MBLD25X75-S, matching the 25 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This twin-rod design resists torsion and doubles the bearing load for guided slides, while the rear rod can carry a flag for space-constrained sensing. The MALD uses a fixed rubber bumper and threaded covers with a CS1-M / DS1-M magnet; the MBLD upgrade shifts to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X75-S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X75-S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X75-S |
| 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-S 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-S matches these values.
Model Code: Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X75-S

| 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 MALD25X75-S Is Used
PCB Drill Spindle Lock
Provides 206 N of equal push-pull force to lock a drill spindle carriage, using the twin rods to prevent torsional drift during high-speed routing.
Shuttle Conveyor Diverter
Drives a dual-ended diverter gate on a packaging line, using the rear rod extension to trigger a DS1-M position flag without external brackets.
Thermoformer Plug Assist
Guides a 75 mm stroke plug assist into heated plastic sheet, relying on the double-rod bearing to resist side-loading and prevent premature guide wear.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X75-S with MBLD25X75-S
To replace the MALD25X75-S, specify the MBLD25X75-S to retain the 25 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, M10x1.25 rod-end thread, and G1/8 PT port. Mount via FA flange or LB foot on the body—there is no back-cover or SDB option. The -S magnet requires changing your CS1-M / DS1-M switches to the CMSG / DMSG / EMSG family. Size on the equal 206 N force: step down to the 20 mm bore for 132 N, or up to the 32 mm bore for 346 N at 0.5 MPa.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD25X75-S (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-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X75-S FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X75-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLD25X75-S, which matches the 25 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting. You must upgrade your sensors: the old CS1-M / DS1-M switches are replaced by CMSG / DMSG / EMSG on the MBLD.
Force is equal both ways due to the twin rods: 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 for end-of-stroke impact absorption, not an adjustable cushion or a load-holding lock.
