This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is MBLD25X90S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the MBLD25X90S 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 MALD25X90S
The AirTAC Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X90S 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 MBLD25X90S, matching bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X90S
The AirTAC MALD25X90S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod mini cylinder. It outputs 206 N of force both ways at 0.5 MPa. The direct drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X90S.
This 25 mm bore unit features a 90 mm stroke and a G1/8 port. The twin-rod design resists rotation and allows mounting a cam on the rear rod. The original threaded covers and CS1-M/DS1-M magnet switches upgrade to a riveted body with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the MBLD.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X90S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X90S |
|---|---|
| Series | MALD double-rod mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | MBLD25X90S |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 90 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 MBLD25X90S 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 MBLD25X90S matches these values.
Model Code: Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X90S
| MALD | Double-rod aluminum mini cylinder, double acting (discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm (20/25/32/40). |
| ×90 | Stroke length in mm. |
| 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 MALD25X90S Is Used
PCB Drill Spindle
Drives a twin-spindle drill head on PCB routers; the 206 N equal force holds the cutting depth steady on both extend and retract strokes.
Label Dispenser
Feeds adhesive labels on a packaging line; the rear rod carries a cam to trip a pneumatic valve, sequencing the 90 mm travel perfectly.
Gripper Slide
Actuates a parallel gripper slide on an assembly robot; the double-rod geometry prevents yaw and keeps the 25 mm jaws aligned under offset loads.
Replacing the Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X90S with MBLD25X90S
Replace this MALD25X90S with the MBLD25X90S. Confirm the 25 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 rod thread. Mount via FA flange or LB foot; no back cover or SDB exists. The -S magnet changes from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Size on the 206 N equal 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 MBLD25X90S (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 MBLD25X90S instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MALD Aluminum Alloy Mini Cylinder MALD25X90S FAQ
Yes, the MALD25X90S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MBLD25X90S, keeping the same 25 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and 206 N equal force. The MBLD upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-pack and switches the -S magnet sensors from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG.
Because a rod exits both ends, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract, yielding equal push and pull force. Ratings are 206 N at 0.5 MPa, 289 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. End cushioning is a fixed rubber bumper, not an adjustable lock.
