This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE25X90SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE25X90SB 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 ACP25X90SB is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 90mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE25X90SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder, the ACP25X90SB drives a 25 mm bore through a 90 mm stroke with a male threaded rod (the B code) and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. 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 ceiling of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air supply runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and rod speed 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod is an ISO 21287 class short build, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding. Because the -S magnet is fitted on this model, CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly for end-of-stroke sensing. Plan on about 147 N (roughly 15 kg of vertical lift) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACE25X90, same bore, stroke and force class - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE25X90SB (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 ACE25X90SB 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. |
| ×90 | 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 in machining fixtures, and the 90 mm stroke clears part loading in a short envelope.
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm the eject stroke on small electronics assemblies before the next cycle starts.
The short ISO 21287 class body fits inside packaging machine frames where a full-length profile cylinder cannot reach, pushing cartons at 30-500 mm/s.
For a 90 mm stroke in the 245 N class, bore 25 is the right pick; step down to bore 20 (157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping, or up to bore 32 (402.1 N) when the part weight grows. Remember the plain cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. The male rod thread suits I/Y rod knuckles, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the same face. Since ACP25X90SB is discontinued, order ACE25X90 as the current equivalent and verify the ISO 21287 hole pattern against your fixture.
Replacement checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 25 mm bore delivers 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 343.6 N push and 288.6 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and rod speed spans 30-500 mm/s. For real work, budget about 147 N - roughly 15 kg of vertical lift.
No - the ACP family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is ACE25X90, an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class with a matching short body and mounting family. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your existing fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to the older DIN standard.
