This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD25X80 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD25X80 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 MALD25X80
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X80 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 MBLD25X80, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X80
The AirTAC MALD25X80 is a discontinued double-acting double-rod mini cylinder delivering 206 N of equal force both ways at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X80, matching the 25mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting.
This twin-rod design resists rotation and doubles the bearing load for guided slides. It uses a fixed rubber bumper and threaded covers, whereas the MBLD25X80 upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body. This SKU has no magnet, so it cannot accept a position sensor.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X80 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X80 |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X80 |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 80 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 MBLD25X80 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 MBLD25X80 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 MALD25X80 Is Used
PCB Edge Routing
Drives a guided cutting head on a PCB depaneling router. The twin rods prevent bit yaw, while 206 N of equal force manages the 80mm cutting traverse.
Textile Take-Up
Maintains tension on a fabric web guide in a textile loom. The dual rods absorb high side-load, and the 80mm stroke adjusts the fabric roller path.
Carton Flap Folding
Folds lower carton flaps on a packaging conveyor. The rear rod carries a cam to clear the cardboard, using 289 N at 0.7 MPa to push the 80mm stroke.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X80 with MBLD25X80
To replace the MALD25X80 with the MBLD25X80, confirm the 25mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/8 port, and FA or LB mounting. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot support a sensor; if sensing is needed, step up to an MBLD25X80S and change from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Size on the 206 N equal force. To step down, the 20mm bore yields 132 N at 0.5 MPa. To step up, the 32mm bore provides 346 N.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD25X80 (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 MBLD25X80 instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X80 FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X80 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X80, which matches the 25mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting. The MBLD upgrade uses a riveted rolling-packed body instead of threaded covers.
Because a rod exits both ends, the piston sees the same annulus area on each side, making push and pull force equal. The figures are 206 N at 0.5 MPa, 289 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor.
