This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE25X30B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE25X30B 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.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X30B
The ACP25X30B is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 30 mm stroke, ending in a male rod thread (the B code). Air drives the piston in both directions, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end of travel. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 343.6 N and 288.6 N, with a theoretical ceiling of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod run on air filtered to 40 um, at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, and -20 to +70 C.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries. In practice, plan for about 147 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - roughly 15 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin - when sizing the part you move. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is the ACE25X30, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE25X30B (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 ACE25X30B 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 ACP25X30B Is Used
Bench-top press fixture
With 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa, the 25 mm bore clamps small aluminium brackets during a manual deburring or riveting step on a workbench cell.
Compact pick-and-place gantry
The 30 mm stroke and short body fit inside a tight Z-axis slide on an electronics assembly gantry, lifting parts of about 15 kg with a 2:1 margin.
Carton kick-off ejector
Mounted with an LB foot on a packaging line, the male rod thread drives a kick-off paddle that nudges small cartons off a conveyor at 30-500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X30B with the ACE25X30B
At 25 mm bore this sits mid-range: a 20 mm bore gives 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter clamping, while a 32 mm bore reaches 402.1 N if your load grows. The 30 mm stroke is well inside the 150 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalog item, not a made-to-order build. This unit has no magnet - the optional -S code adds one so CMSE or DMSE switches can detect position; without it, no sensor mounts. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and CA/CB clevises bolt to the same face. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Order the ACE25X30 as the drop-in successor and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE25X30B
- ✓ 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 ACP25X30B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder 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. For sizing, count on about 147 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 15 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
Order the ACE25X30, AirTAC's current-production ISO 21287 compact cylinder: swap the P for an E and you get the same 25 mm bore, 30 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. Because the ACP followed the DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The ACE family also covers related variants such as ASP/ATP single-acting, ACPD double-rod and ACPJ adjustable-stroke types.
