This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE25X160 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE25X160 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 ACP25X160
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X160 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 160mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE25X160 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X160
A double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP family, the ACP25X160 pairs a 25 mm bore with a 160 mm stroke and delivers 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 343.6 N at 0.7 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod keeps the short ISO 21287-class body about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding. Note that the 160 mm stroke exceeds the 150 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is a made-to-order stroke.
For sizing, plan on roughly 147 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting about 15 kg vertically, or about 7 kg with a 2:1 margin. Mounting is via FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis, and position feedback is possible only if you order the optional -S magnet code for CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet. This model is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is the ACE25X160, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE25X160 (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 ACE25X160 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 ACP25X160 Is Used
Compact jig clamping
The 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa and short ISO 21287-class body let this 25 mm bore cylinder clamp fixture jaws inside a milling jig where a full-length profile cylinder will not fit.
Packaging line push-off
With 206.2 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa and 30-500 mm/s speed, the 160 mm stroke sweeps cartons off a conveyor lane in a bottling plant without extending past the guard line.
Small-part press fitting
About 15 kg of vertical working force at 0.5 MPa suits pressing bushings into plastic housings on an electronics assembly bench, with the fixed TPU bumper softening each end stop.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X160 with the ACE25X160
At 25 mm bore this sits between the 20 mm (157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the 32 mm (402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa), so step up to 32 mm if your load needs more than about 147 N of real work. The 160 mm stroke is non-standard for this bore (150 mm max standard) and is built to order. Choose the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing, and remember a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. For new projects, specify the ACE25X160 instead, confirming ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE25X160
- ✓ 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 ACP25X160 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. The theoretical maximum is 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting over a 160 mm made-to-order stroke (150 mm is the standard maximum for a 25 mm bore), running on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s.
Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code at order time; without -S there is no magnet, so no CMSE or DMSE switch can be mounted. The ACP25X160 itself is discontinued - the current-production replacement is the ACE25X160 in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN standard.
