This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE25X15BH — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE25X15BH 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 ACP25X15BH
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X15BH 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 ACE25X15BH (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X15BH
The ACP25X15BH is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 15 mm stroke, delivering 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa (343.6 N / 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa, 50.1 kgf theoretical maximum). The B code gives a male rod thread on the 10 mm rod, and the PT port is M5x0.8. Its hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
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 where a full-length body cannot. For sizing, treat roughly 147 N (about 15 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin) as the usable push force at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACE25X15, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE25X15BH (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 ACE25X15BH 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 ACP25X15BH Is Used
Small jig clamping
The 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium brackets or plastic housings in machining jigs, and the 15 mm stroke keeps the fixture footprint minimal.
Bench press assist
With about 25 kg of theoretical vertical push at 0.5 MPa, this bore drives light pressing and staking tasks on electronics assembly benches.
Packaging gate actuator
The short body and M5x0.8 port make it a fit for diverting gates and stopper pins on compact packaging lines where space is tight.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X15BH with the ACE25X15BH
At 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, the 25 mm bore suits clamping and positioning in the 20-30 kg load class; step down to the 20 mm bore (157.1 N) for lighter jigs or up to the 32 mm bore (402.1 N) when more force is needed. The male rod thread (B code) pairs with I/Y rod knuckles, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the same face. If you need position feedback, order the -S code for the optional magnet and CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S there is no magnet. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Order the ACE25X15 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE25X15BH
- ✓ 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 ACP25X15BH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 343.6 N and pulls 288.6 N, with a theoretical maximum of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The model is discontinued, and the current-production replacement is the ACE25X15 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
It is a compact double-acting cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome 10 mm rod, male rod thread (B code), M5x0.8 PT port and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code with CMSE / DMSE switches; this model without S has no magnet, so no switch can be mounted.
