This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE25X80SBH — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE25X80SBH 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 ACP25X80SBH 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 ACE25X80SBH (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ACP25X80SBH is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 80 mm stroke, carrying the optional -S magnet so CMSE / DMSE reed or 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; 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 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 and guarding where a full-length body will not.
For real-world sizing, plan on about 147 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (roughly 0.6 of the rating), which corresponds to lifting about 15 kg vertically - and about 7 kg if you want a 2:1 margin on a vertical lift. The B code gives a male rod thread on the 10 mm rod, the fixed TPU bumpers at both ends simply decelerate the piston, and the 80 mm stroke sits well inside the 150 mm standard range for this bore. Note that 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 ACE25X80SBH (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 ACE25X80SBH 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).
Holding an aluminium housing in a CNC drilling jig needs about 147 N of reliable clamp force, which the 25 mm bore delivers at 0.5 MPa inside a fixture too narrow for a full-length body.
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm the 80 mm eject stroke of a carton pusher, so the PLC knows every tray actually left the nest.
Raising a 7 kg sensor head between test stations stays within the 2:1 margin on the roughly 15 kg vertical-lift equivalent, with the male rod thread taking a knuckle directly.
Size both ways before committing: a 20 mm bore gives 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 32 mm bore raises it to 402.1 N - the 25 mm bore's 245.4 N sits between them for medium clamping and positioning work. Ports on this bore are M5x0.8, and the male rod thread (B code) suits rod knuckles and threaded fixtures. If the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve, because the piston will drift. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the same face, and the ACE25X80 is the current replacement for this discontinued model.
Replacement checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.4 N and pulls 206.2 N; at 0.7 MPa, 343.6 N push and 288.6 N pull; theoretical maximum 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is a double acting compact cylinder, 25 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, 10 mm rod with male thread, M5x0.8 port, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um.
No - the ACP family is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is ACE25X80, the ISO 21287 successor in the same bore, stroke and force class with the same short body and mounting family. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to the older DIN standard.
