This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE25X60SLB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE25X60SLB 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 ACP25X60SLB
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X60SLB 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 ACE25X60SLB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X60SLB
The ACP25X60SLB is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, fitted with the optional -S magnet so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the hard-anodized aluminium body. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N, rising to 343.6 N and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body simply will not fit.
For real-world sizing, treat about 147 N (roughly 15 kg) as the usable push effort at 0.5 MPa, which means this unit lifts about 12 kg vertically once you keep a 2:1 margin. The rod is 10 mm with a female M6x1.0 thread, air ports are M5x0.8, and the LB foot bracket is included in this order code. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACE25X60, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE25X60SLB (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 ACE25X60SLB 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 ACP25X60SLB Is Used
Small-parts press fit
With 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa, the 25 mm bore seats bearings, bushings and dowel pins into aluminium housings on bench-top assembly fixtures.
Position-verified clamping
The -S magnet in this code accepts CMSE / DMSE switches, so a packaging machine can confirm the clamp has reached its 60 mm stroke before the fill cycle starts.
Light vertical lift station
Keeping a 2:1 margin, this cylinder lifts about 12 kg vertically - enough to raise a small tray or fixture nest on an electronics handling line.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X60SLB with the ACE25X60SLB
If 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa is more than your jig needs, the 20 mm bore (157.1 N push) is the lighter neighbour; if you need more, step up to the 32 mm bore at 402.1 N. Remember a plain cylinder of this type drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. The 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 150 mm standard range for this bore, and the -S magnet in this code lets you fit CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke signalling. Order the ACE25X60 instead, since the ACP line is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE25X60SLB
- ✓ 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 ACP25X60SLB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 343.6 N push and 288.6 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is a double acting compact cylinder, 25 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, 10 mm rod with female M6x1.0 thread, M5x0.8 ports, operating on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
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, with the FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis family still available. Because the ACP was built to a DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before making the swap.
