This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE16X25B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE16X25B in place of this model. The ACE replacement is a current-production ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class, with a matching short body and the same mounting-accessory family, so it fits the same envelope. Confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before ordering.
Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X25B
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X25B is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 25mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE16X25B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X25B
The ACP16X25B is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and 25 mm stroke, male rod thread (B code) and PT ports. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 140.7 N and 105.6 N, with a theoretical peak of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
Its hard-anodized aluminium short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures. As a rule of thumb, budget roughly 60 N (about 6 kg of vertical lift) of real work at 0.5 MPa instead of the full rating. Note this unit is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACE16X25, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the same face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE16X25B (ISO 21287) carries the same bore/stroke/force class; confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before installation. Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 101 N | 75 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 141 N | 106 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 21 kgf | |
The ACE16X25B produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X25B Is Used
Small jig clamping
The 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to clamp light aluminium brackets or plastic housings in a drilling jig, and the short body fits where a full-length cylinder cannot.
Electronics assembly ejection
A 25 mm stroke with about 6 kg of practical vertical lift at 0.5 MPa suits ejecting or pressing small PCB trays and connector blocks on bench-top stations.
Compact gating with position check
Order the -S magnet to run CMSE or DMSE switches on a sliding gate or divertor in a packaging line, confirming end positions in a 25 mm travel.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X25B with the ACE16X25B
For a 25 mm stroke at this force class, compare the 12 mm bore (56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) if space is tighter, or step up to the 20 mm bore (157.1 N push) when the load needs more margin. Remember a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Specify the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE sensing; this B-version has no magnet fitted. Since ACP16X25B is discontinued, order ACE16X25 as the current equivalent and verify ISO 21287 dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE16X25B
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X25B FAQ
Push is 100.5 N and pull 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push is 140.7 N and pull 105.6 N, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting, 16 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, 8 mm rod, M5x0.8 port, male rod thread, operating 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. The model is discontinued; ACE16X25 is the replacement.
The short-body ISO 21287-class build cuts roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, ideal for cramped jigs and gantries. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts fit the standard face. Switches are not included by default: only the optional -S magnet version accepts CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches, so order ACP16X25SB if sensing is needed.
