This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE25X60 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE25X60 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 ACP25X60
The ACP25X60 is a double acting compact cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, built on the DIN-standard short-body format with a hard-anodized aluminium body and an S45C hard-chrome piston rod. 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. 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.
For real-world sizing, treat about 147 N (roughly 15 kg) as the usable push force at 0.5 MPa instead of the full 245.4 N rating - that margin keeps acceleration and friction honest. In vertical terms the bore can lift about 12 kg at 0.5 MPa, or around 6 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that this unit is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACE25X60, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The rod end carries a female M6x1.0 thread and the air port is M5x0.8.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE25X60 (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 ACE25X60 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 ACP25X60 Is Used
Small parts press-fit station
With 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa (about 15 kg of usable force with margin), the 25 mm bore suits light press-fitting of bushings, pins and connectors in electronics assembly fixtures.
Pick-and-place drop module
The 60 mm stroke and short body fit compact Z-axes on benchtop robots; at 0.5 MPa the bore lifts roughly 12 kg vertically, enough for small trays and machined caps.
Carton hold-down clamp
On packaging lines the fixed TPU bumpers soften end-of-stroke contact when the rod clamps flaps or lids, and the short body tucks under low guard rails.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X60 with the ACE25X60
At 25 mm bore this sits mid-range: a 20 mm bore gives 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while a 32 mm bore delivers 402.1 N when you need more muscle. The 60 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. Remember that a plain ACP25X60 drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis. If you need position feedback, order the -S variant to enable CMSE or DMSE switches; without the -S code there is no magnet. For new projects, specify the ACE25X60 instead, as this model is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE25X60
- ✓ 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 ACP25X60 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; theoretical maximum is 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a 25 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, 10 mm rod, M5x0.8 port, female M6x1.0 rod thread, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s and a temperature range of -20 to +70 C.
Order the ACE25X60, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same bore, stroke and force class in a matching short body. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACP was built to the older DIN-standard format. Mounting brackets such as FA/FB flanges, LB feet and CA/CB clevises are available for the ACE family.
