This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE25X5SH — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE25X5SH 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 ACP25X5SH
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X5SH is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 5mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE25X5SH (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X5SH
The ACP25X5SH is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 25 mm bore and a very short 5 mm stroke, fitted with the optional -S magnet so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke detection. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 245.4 N and pulls with 206.2 N, and its hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
For real-world sizing, plan on about 147 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, which corresponds to lifting roughly 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - enough for a small clamp or a light part present sensor. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACE25X5, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE25X5SH (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 ACE25X5SH 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 ACP25X5SH Is Used
Small parts clamping
The 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa secures aluminium brackets or plastic housings in a machining fixture, with the 5 mm stroke ideal for a quick clamp-unclamp cycle.
Presence confirmation
With the -S magnet fitted, a CMSE or DMSE switch confirms a bracket is fully seated on a PCB or electronics assembly line within the 5 mm travel.
Carton push-off
About 147 N of practical force at 0.5 MPa nudges small cartons or blister packs off a conveyor lane in a compact packaging head where a full-length body will not fit.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X5SH with the ACE25X5SH
At 25 mm bore this sits mid-range: the 20 mm bore gives 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa if you need less force, while the 32 mm bore delivers 402.1 N for heavier clamping. The 5 mm stroke is well inside the 150 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Choose the female M6x1.0 rod thread as coded here, or a B-suffix variant for a male thread. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Order the ACE25X5 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 hole patterns first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE25X5SH
- ✓ 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 ACP25X5SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 343.6 N and pull to 288.6 N, with a theoretical maximum of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the medium is air filtered to 40 um. The cylinder is double acting with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs and gantries. This ACP model is discontinued; the current-production successor is ACE25X5 in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP follows the older DIN-standard footprint, and use FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis brackets on the ACE face.
