This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE25X30SN — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE25X30SN 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 ACP25X30SN
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X30SN is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 30mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE25X30SN (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X30SN
The ACP25X30SN is a double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, with a 25 mm bore and 30 mm stroke driving a 10 mm rod through a female M6x1.0 thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 343.6 N and 288.6 N, with a theoretical peak of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod run on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight fixture plates and guarding where a full-length body cannot. Because the S code is in this model number, the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto the tube for end-of-stroke sensing. As a planning figure, count on about 147 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting roughly 7 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACE25X30, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE25X30SN (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 ACE25X30SN 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 ACP25X30SN Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC pallets
The 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium brackets or plastic housings against a hard stop on machining pallets, and the short body fits inside the fixture plate where a full-length cylinder would foul the pallet changer.
Position-verified ejection on packaging lines
With the fitted -S magnet, a DMSE switch confirms the rod is fully extended before a carton is pushed off a conveyor, giving the PLC a positive end-of-stroke signal at speeds up to 500 mm/s.
Small press-fit station for electronics
About 7 kg of vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin suits pressing connectors or bearings into small housings, and the 30 mm stroke matches the short travel these assemblies need.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X30SN with the ACE25X30SN
At 25 mm bore this 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 jig needs more than about 245 N. The 30 mm stroke is well inside the 150 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order build. Choose FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounting to match the fixture, and remember the -S magnet on this unit is what enables CMSE / DMSE switch mounting. A plain cylinder of this type drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. For new designs, order the ACE25X30 instead - this ACP25X30SN is discontinued and the ACE matches the same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE25X30SN
- ✓ 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 ACP25X30SN 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. It is a double acting compact cylinder, 25 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, 10 mm rod with female M6x1.0 thread, M5x0.8 ports, operating on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
Yes, 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 is DIN-standard. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted on the tube for end-of-stroke detection.
