This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE25X150 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE25X150 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.

The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X150 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 150mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE25X150 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, the ACP25X150 pairs a 25 mm bore with a 150 mm stroke and delivers 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body with threaded aluminium covers and an S45C hard-chrome rod keeps the envelope short: roughly 50% less mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
At 0.5 MPa the push force of 245.4 N translates to about 25 kgf, so plan on roughly 15 kg of usable vertical lift once a 2:1 margin is applied. The rod end carries a female M6x1.0 thread and the air port is M5x0.8. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ISO 21287 ACE25X150, so confirm the mounting dimensions before swapping. The fixed TPU bumper at each end only decelerates the piston - it never holds a load.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE25X150 (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.
| 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 ACE25X150 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.
| ACP | DIN compact cylinder (double-acting, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×150 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (adjustable stroke).
245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa suits light staking and marking of small aluminium brackets on a compact bench press.
The 150 mm stroke reaches across a carton seam on a packaging line, with 206.2 N pull retracting the tucker clear of the product.
A divert gate on a 200 mm-wide conveyor track swings on a CA clevis, using the short body to fit beside the frame rail.
Size the load both ways: a 20 mm bore gives 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 32 mm bore raises that to 402.1 N - pick the 25 mm when 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull cover the job with margin. The 150 mm stroke is the maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order length is needed. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches when ordered. This unit is discontinued; the ACE25X150 is the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 343.6 N and pull to 288.6 N. The theoretical maximum is 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the air port is M5x0.8.
Sensors are possible only with the optional -S magnet code, which allows CMSE or DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet in the piston. The ACP25X150 is discontinued - the ISO 21287 ACE25X150 is the current drop-in with the same bore, stroke and force class, but verify the mounting dimensions before converting.
