This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE25X35S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE25X35S 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 ACP25X35S 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 ACE25X35S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ACP25X35S is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 35 mm stroke, driving a 10 mm rod from an M5x0.8 port. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N, rising to 343.6 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACE25X35.
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. In practice, plan on roughly 147 N (about 15 kgf) of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts a part of around 7 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE25X35S (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 ACE25X35S 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 aluminum brackets or small castings in drill and mill jigs, and the 35 mm stroke clears part loading quickly.
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm the ram is fully forward before a screwdriver or press cycle starts.
Roughly 15 kgf of usable thrust at 0.5 MPa nudges small cartons off a conveyor lane, and the short body fits under low guard rails.
At 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore suits clamping and positioning loads in the 10-15 kg range; step down to a 20 mm bore (157.1 N) for lighter jigs or up to 32 mm (402.1 N) when force headroom matters. Remember the cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the standard face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Before ordering, confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions on the ACE25X35 replacement, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard.
Replacement checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa, 343.6 N push and 288.6 N pull; theoretical maximum is 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The ACP family is discontinued, so order the ACE25X35 (ISO 21287, same bore, stroke and force class) and confirm its mounting dimensions against your fixture first.
The compact aluminium body cuts about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, ideal for cramped gantries and slide tables. Because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly for stroke-position feedback. A fixed TPU bumper decelerates the piston at each end, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
