This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ASE100X25 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ASE100X25 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 ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP100X25
The AirTAC Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP100X25 is a single acting, push (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 25mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ASE100X25 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP100X25
The ASP100X25 is a single acting push cylinder with spring return: air extends the 25 mm rod and the internal spring retracts it, so one air line is enough. At 0.5 MPa the push force is 3640.7 N net of the spring, rising to 5211.5 N at 0.7 MPa, and the 100 mm bore needs at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring. This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is ASE100X25, the ISO 21287 successor in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in heavy clamping fixtures and press gantries where every millimetre counts. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 2184 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 111 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, and the optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ASE100X25 (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 (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3640.7 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5211.5 N |
Single-acting push: air extends the rod; the return spring retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.

Where the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP100X25 Is Used
Press-frame clamping
The 3640.7 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps steel housings in a 25 mm stroke welding press, with the spring clearing the part the moment air drops.
Machining-centre part ejector
Mounted through a fixture plate, the short ISO 21287 body kicks finished castings off a CNC jig in one 25 mm stroke and retracts on spring return.
Pallet-stacker gate latch
The 100 mm bore holds a heavy gate latch closed on a warehouse vehicle; losing air lets the spring retract and fail safe, lifting about 111 kg vertically with margin.
Replacing the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP100X25 with the ASE100X25
At this force class, 3640.7 N at 0.5 MPa covers heavy clamps and short-stroke presses; if the job needs less, the 80 mm bore gives 2316.2 N at the same pressure. Remember the spring returns the rod home on air loss, so it will not hold a mid-stroke position. Match FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounts to your fixture, and order the -S code only if CMSE / DMSE sensing is required. For new projects, specify ASE100X25 and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ASP is DIN-standard.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ASE100X25
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP100X25 FAQ
Push force is 3640.7 N at 0.5 MPa and 5211.5 N at 0.7 MPa, both already net of the return spring, so no derating is needed. Working pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, speed 50-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" port feeds the 100 mm bore. At 0.2 MPa the air just starts to beat the spring.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis options on the 25 mm female-threaded rod (M16x1.5). Sensing is not fitted as standard: add the optional -S magnet code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches. This model is discontinued, so order ASE100X25 as the current drop-in and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
