This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE25X15 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE25X15 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 ACP25X15
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X15 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 15mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE25X15 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X15
The ACP25X15 is a double acting compact cylinder in the discontinued AirTAC ACP DIN-standard series, with a 25 mm bore and a short 15 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 245.4 N and pulls with 206.2 N, rising to 343.6 N push at 0.7 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um, at speeds of 30-500 mm/s and temperatures from -20 to +70 C.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding. For planning, treat roughly 0.6 of the push force as usable work, about 147 N, which lifts around 7 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston but does not hold a load when air is lost. This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACE25X15, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE25X15 (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 (Ø25mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 245 N | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | 289 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 50 kgf | |
The ACE25X15 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 ACP25X15 Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC jigs
The 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps small aluminium or plastic workpieces in drilling and milling jigs, and the 15 mm stroke suits quick clamp-and-release cycles.
Reject pusher on packaging lines
Short-stroke kickers beside a conveyor use the 25 mm bore to nudge off-spec cartons or blisters into a bin at up to 500 mm/s.
Sample press in lab automation
The compact body fits inside benchtop analytical or dispensing modules where a full-length profile cylinder cannot, delivering about 7 kg of practical vertical force.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X15 with the ACE25X15
At 25 mm bore this unit sits mid-range: a 20 mm bore gives 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 32 mm bore reaches 402.1 N, so step up if your load needs more margin. The 15 mm stroke is well inside the 150 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Rod end is female M6x1.0 with a PT port; FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings are available. There is no magnet fitted, so position sensing with CMSE or DMSE switches requires ordering the optional -S code. For new projects, specify the ACE25X15 replacement instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE25X15
- ✓ 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 ACP25X15 FAQ
It is a double acting 25 mm bore, 15 mm stroke compact cylinder: push 245.4 N and pull 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, push 343.6 N and pull 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port M5x0.8, female rod thread M6x1.0, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
No, the ACP series is discontinued. The current-production replacement is ACE25X15, an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint. If you need position feedback, order the -S magnet option with CMSE or DMSE switches.
