This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE25X65 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE25X65 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.

The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP25X65 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 65mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE25X65 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, the ACP25X65 delivers 245.4 N of push and 206.2 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 343.6 N at 0.7 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod carries a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and the 65 mm stroke sits well inside the 150 mm standard range for the 25 mm bore.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight jigs, guarding and gantries. At 0.5 MPa the push force translates to about 25 kgf, so plan on roughly 15 kg of usable vertical lift with a sensible margin. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACE25X65, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. This version has no magnet; order the -S code if you need CMSE or DMSE switch sensing.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE25X65 (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.
| 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 ACE25X65 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.
| ACP | DIN compact cylinder (double-acting, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×65 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (adjustable stroke).
The 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium brackets or plastic housings in a CNC secondary-operation jig, and the short body slots into confined fixture plates.
A 65 mm stroke is enough to divert cartons or blisters off a conveyor lane at 30-500 mm/s, with the fixed TPU bumper softening each end stop.
About 15 kg of practical vertical lift at 0.5 MPa suits light pressing or dipping of sample trays in test rigs where bench space is limited.
For a 65 mm stroke in the 25 mm bore class, this cylinder gives 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa; step down to a 20 mm bore (157.1 N) for lighter clamping or up to a 32 mm bore (402.1 N) for heavier work. Keep in mind that a plain ACP does not hold position when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a suspended load. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches. Since ACP25X65 is discontinued, order the ACE25X65 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 footprint first.
Replacement checklist
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 push and 288.6 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The short-body build saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis options and an M6x1.0 female rod thread. A fixed TPU bumper at both ends decelerates the piston but never locks a load. The ACP25X65 is discontinued; the ACE25X65 is the current drop-in, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
