This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE25X60B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE25X60B 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 ACP25X60B
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X60B is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 60mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE25X60B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X60B
The ACP25X60B is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, a male rod thread (B code) and a PT port thread. 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 cannot. 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 maximum of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Plan on about 147 N (roughly 15 kg of thrust) of usable work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, which means this bore lifts about 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, and the rod runs at 30-500 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACE25X60, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. Position holding is not built in - if the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE25X60B (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 ACE25X60B 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 ACP25X60B Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC pallets
With about 147 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, the 25 mm bore clamps aluminium housings or plastic brackets in machining fixtures where the short body must fit between pallet rails.
Packaging line pushers
The 60 mm stroke ejects cartons or trays sideways on food and pharma packaging conveyors, running 30-500 mm/s to match line speed, with the compact body tucked under guard panels.
Small parts press and stake station
At 0.7 MPa the 343.6 N push stakes pins or presses bushings into electronics assemblies, and the male rod thread (B code) accepts I/Y knuckles for quick tooling changes.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X60B with the ACE25X60B
Size against neighbours: bore 20 delivers 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while bore 32 reaches 402.1 N - pick the 25 mm when your load sits between those bands. The 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 150 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. This unit has no magnet; if you want CMSE or DMSE switches for end-of-stroke detection, order the -S variant instead. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis) bolt to the standard face, and ACE25X60 is the current replacement to quote.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE25X60B
- ✓ 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 ACP25X60B 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. The model is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is ACE25X60 (same 25 mm bore, 60 mm stroke and force class). Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions of the ACE before swapping.
It is a short-body compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod, M5x08 ports (M5x0.8) and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends that simply decelerate at stroke ends. The magnet is not fitted on this code; order the -S version to enable CMSE or DMSE switches. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis, and the body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
