This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE25X80S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE25X80S 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 ACP25X80S is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 80mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE25X80S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ACP25X80S is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 80 mm stroke, fitted with the optional -S magnet so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke sensing. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N, rising to 343.6 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered to 40 um, speed range 30-500 mm/s, and the rod travels at up to 500 mm/s within a -20 to +70 C window.
Its hard-anodized aluminium body with threaded aluminium covers and an S45C hard-chrome rod saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jig plates and guarding where a full-length body cannot. For sizing, plan on about 147 N (roughly 15 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, or about 12 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACE25X80, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE25X80S (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 ACE25X80S 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. |
| ×80 | 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 holds aluminium brackets against hard stops in drill and milling jigs, and the 80 mm stroke clears part loading by hand.
Mounted beside the conveyor, the short body kicks off-label bottles within the 30-500 mm/s speed band, with CMSE switches reporting extend and retract via the -S magnet.
The 206.2 N return force folds cardboard flaps reliably, and the compact footprint fits inside the guard channel where a full-length body would foul the frame.
At 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull on a 0.5 MPa supply, the 25 mm bore suits clamping and positioning loads up to roughly 15 kg of usable thrust; step down to the 20 mm bore (157.1 N push) for lighter gates or up to the 32 mm bore (402.1 N push) when the load grows. The 80 mm stroke sits well inside the 150 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order build. The -S magnet in this code enables CMSE / DMSE switch mounting, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the same face. Because a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads, and specify ACE25X80 as the current replacement for new builds.
Replacement checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 343.6 N and pull 288.6 N, with a theoretical maximum of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, port M5x0.8, rod 10 mm with a female M6x1.0 thread, and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
Order ACE25X80, the ISO 21287 successor that swaps the P for an E and matches the same 25 mm bore, 80 mm stroke and force class. It is a drop-in in the same short-body format, but because the ACP was built to a DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and the FA/FB, LB or CA/CB bracket faces before swapping. The ACE also accepts the optional magnet version if you need CMSE / DMSE sensing.
