This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE25X60S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE25X60S 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 ACP25X60S
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X60S 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 ACE25X60S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X60S
The ACP25X60S is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, a hard-anodized aluminium body and an S45C hard-chrome rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 343.6 N and 288.6 N, with a theoretical maximum of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. In practice, plan on roughly 147 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - enough for small clamping plates or light part trays. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACE25X60, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE25X60S (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 ACE25X60S 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 ACP25X60S Is Used
Small jig clamping
The 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa secures aluminium brackets or plastic housings in drilling and tapping jigs, and the 60 mm stroke clears part loading by hand.
Position-checked ejector
Because the -S magnet is fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm extend and retract on an electronics-assembly ejector that pushes finished PCBs off a nest.
Carton gate actuator
On a packaging line, the compact body diverts cartons between lanes inside a guard where a full-length ISO 15552 profile cylinder would not fit.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X60S with the ACE25X60S
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 fixture needs more than about 245 N. 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 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 are available, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread takes standard I/Y knuckles. For new projects, order the ACE25X60 instead, since ACP is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE25X60S
- ✓ 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 ACP25X60S 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, with a theoretical maximum of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The S means the optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped on. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the rod end carries a female M6x1.0 thread with an M5x0.8 air port.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounting options. The ACP family is no longer in production: order the ACE25X60, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class, and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
