This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE40X225S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE40X225S 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 ACP40X225S
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP40X225S is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 225mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE40X225S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP40X225S
Double acting on both strokes, the ACP40X225S is a DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 40 mm bore and a made-to-order 225 mm stroke - 25 mm beyond the 200 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is built to order. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N; a practical rule of thumb is to plan real work at roughly 60% of the push rating, so about 377 N (near 38 kg of horizontal force) for a margin-safe design.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is how it fits deep guards and long-stroke gantries that a full-length body cannot. This S-coded unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly on the hard-anodized aluminium body. The ACP family is discontinued: the current drop-in is ACE40X225, same bore, stroke and force class - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE40X225S (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 (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 572 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | 800 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The ACE40X225S 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 ACP40X225S Is Used
Vertical lift in a packaging cell
Lifts about 32 kg of filled cartons or trays vertically with a 2:1 margin, using the 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa and the 225 mm made-to-order stroke for tall chutes.
Push-off station on a bottling line
The 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa clears bottles or cans sideways off a conveyor, while the short body tucks under the guard rail where a full-length cylinder will not fit.
Position feedback on a test rig
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches report extend and retract positions on the 225 mm stroke, useful for end-of-travel confirmation on automated fixtures.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP40X225S with the ACE40X225S
Size both ways before committing: a 32 mm bore gives 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 50 mm bore raises it to 981.7 N - pick the 40 mm when your load sits between those bands. For vertical use, the 628.3 N push equals about 64 kgf, so halve it and plan to lift roughly 32 kg with a 2:1 margin. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must hold. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mount on the same face; the 225 mm stroke is non-standard and made to order. Order ACE40X225 as the current-production replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE40X225S
- ✓ 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 ACP40X225S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 879.6 N push and 800.5 N pull. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 128.1 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed range 30-500 mm/s. Note the 225 mm stroke exceeds the 200 mm standard limit for a 40 mm bore, so it is a made-to-order length.
No - the ACP family is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is ACE40X225: swap the P for an E and you get the same 40 mm bore, 225 mm stroke and force class in an ISO 21287 compact body. Because the ACP was DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and port positions before ordering the swap. The fixed TPU bumpers at both ends simply decelerate the piston; they do not hold a load, so add a rod lock or check valve where holding is required.
