This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MALD series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement MBLD25X80S, 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 MALD25X80-S
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X80-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 MBLD25X80-S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X80-S
The AirTAC MALD25X80-S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. A rod exits both ends, delivering equal force in both directions at 206 N each way at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the MBLD25X80-S, matching the 25 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, and G1/8 port.
This unit features a fixed rubber bumper rather than an adjustable cushion. The twin rods provide high anti-rotation resistance and double the bearing load, allowing a rear rod to carry a flag or secondary tool. The original MALD uses threaded covers and a CS1-M / DS1-M magnet sensor, whereas the MBLD upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X80-S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X80-S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X80-S |
| 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-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 MBLD25X80-S matches these values.
Model Code: Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X80-S

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-S Is Used
PCB Pick-and-Place
Uses the 206 N equal force to lift delicate electronic panels. The twin rods prevent part rotation during vertical transfer.
Dual-End Tooling Slide
The 80 mm stroke drives a front gripper while the rear rod carries a CS1-M flag to confirm tool position to a PLC.
Textile Loom Guide
Shifts a yarn guide back and forth. The fixed rubber bumper softens the 800 mm/s end impact without needing adjustment.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X80-S with MBLD25X80-S
To replace the MALD25X80-S, specify the MBLD25X80-S. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, G1/8 PT port, and FA or LB mounting. Note that MALD has no back cover or SDB auto-switch rail; sensors mount directly to the body. Because this SKU has the -S magnet, you must upgrade from the old CS1-M / DS1-M switches to the MBLD's CMSG / DMSG / EMSG series.
Size using the equal both-ways force. If you need less power, step down to the 20 mm bore (132 N at 0.5 MPa). If you need more, step up to the 32 mm bore (346 N at 0.5 MPa).
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the MBLD25X80-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 MBLD25X80-S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X80-S FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X80-S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the MBLD25X80-S, which matches the 25 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting. You will need to change your sensors from CS1-M / DS1-M to CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
Because a rod exits both ends, the piston sees the same annulus area 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.
