This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE50X25B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE50X25B 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 ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP50X25B is a single acting, pull (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 25mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ATE50X25B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP50X25B uses a spring to extend the rod and compressed air to retract it, so the rod sits extended whenever air is lost. With a 50 mm bore it delivers 775 N of pull at 0.5 MPa and 1127.5 N at 0.7 MPa, both figures already net of the return spring, and it needs at least 0.2 MPa (28-145 psi working band) to overcome the spring. The B code gives a male rod thread on the 16 mm rod, and the port is 1/8".
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. In practice, plan on about 465 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, and for vertical duty that equates to roughly 79 kgf, so with a 2:1 margin it lifts about 40 kg vertically. A fixed TPU bumper at both ends decelerates the rod, and this model is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is the ATE50X25, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE50X25B (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 | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 775.0 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1127.5 N |
Single-acting pull: the spring extends the rod; air retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.
| ATP | DIN compact cylinder (single-acting pull, spring-return, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×25 | 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 spring holds the clamp engaged and air at 0.5 MPa retracts it with 775 N of pull, so a power loss leaves the aluminium workpiece safely clamped between cycles.
With about 40 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the spring-extended rod raises a stainless hopper lid automatically whenever the air supply drops.
The 25 mm stroke and short body fit inside the gantry frame, pulling a probe carriage back at 50-500 mm/s while the fixed TPU bumpers stop it cleanly at each end.
Size against the 0.5 MPa pull figures: the 40 mm bore gives 500.3 N and the 63 mm bore gives 1320 N, so the 50 mm bore at 775 N sits between them for clamping or retracting jobs in the 40-70 kg vertical range. Remember the spring returns the rod to its extended home position on air loss and will not hold a mid-stroke position. This unit has no magnet because the -S code was not ordered, so no CMSE or DMSE switch can be fitted; order the -S version if position sensing is needed. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the standard face. For new builds, specify the ATE50X25 instead, as this model is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
Pull is 775 N at 0.5 MPa and 1127.5 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring, since the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. Bore is 50 mm, stroke 25 mm, rod 16 mm with a male thread (B code), port 1/8", operating pressure 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 50-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
Order the ATE50X25, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 50 mm bore, 25 mm stroke and force class in a short compact body. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, and add the -S code on the ATE if you need the optional magnet for CMSE or DMSE switches.
