This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE25X35B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE25X35B 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 ACP25X35B is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 35mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE25X35B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ACP25X35B is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 35 mm stroke, pushing 245.4 N and pulling 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa (343.6 N / 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa). Its 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 guarding where a full-length body will not fit. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome 10 mm rod with a male thread (the B code), and the port is M5x0.8.
Practical sizing: at 0.5 MPa plan on about 147 N of usable push force, which corresponds to lifting roughly 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke contact but never locks or holds a load - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the position must be kept when air is lost. This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACE25X35, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE25X35B (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 ACE25X35B 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. |
| ×35 | 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).
The 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium housings in machining fixtures, and the short body fits inside the pallet envelope.
A 35 mm stroke is enough to push cartons or blisters off a conveyor lane at speeds up to 500 mm/s.
About 12 kg of vertical working load with a 2:1 margin suits light pressing of vials, caps and test coupons.
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 load needs more than about 147 N of working force. The 35 mm stroke is well inside the 150 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. The male rod thread suits I/Y knuckles and external tooling; FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the same face. If you need position sensing, order the -S variant to enable CMSE / DMSE switches - this non-S code carries no magnet. Buy ACE25X35 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
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. Theoretical maximum is 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting, runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air, and moves at 30-500 mm/s with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code; this ACP25X35B has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be mounted unless you order -S. The ACP family is discontinued - the current drop-in is ACE25X35 in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard.
