This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE50X25S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE50X25S 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 ATP50X25S 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 ATE50X25S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP50X25S keeps the rod extended by spring force and retracts it with compressed air. At 0.5 MPa it pulls 775 N net of the spring, rising to 1127.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with a minimum working pressure of 0.2 MPa needed to overcome the spring. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod carry a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and the short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Because the S code is in this model, the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body. In practical terms, plan on roughly 465 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 39 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is the ATE50X25, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE50X25S (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 extends the rod to raise a 30 kg gate between carton infeed cycles; air at 0.5 MPa pulls it back down with 775 N available.
Spring holds the clamp open for part loading, then 25 mm of air pull retracts the locators on a CNC fixture before the cycle starts.
If air pressure drops, the spring pushes the diverter blade to its extended home position, keeping bottles on the main lane without operator action.
At 50 mm bore this sits mid-range: the 40 mm bore pulls 500.3 N at 0.5 MPa while the 63 mm bore reaches 1320 N, so step down or up depending on your load. The spring returns the rod to its extended home position on air loss and will not hold a mid-stroke position. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the same face, and the female M10x1.5 rod thread accepts standard knuckles. Order the ATE50X25 as the drop-in successor.
Replacement checklist
It is a single acting pull cylinder, so the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. Pull force is net of the return spring: 775 N at 0.5 MPa and 1127.5 N at 0.7 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 50-500 mm/s, and the 1/8" port suits the 50 mm bore with its 16 mm rod.
The compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs and guards. This model carries the optional -S magnet, letting you clip CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches onto the body for end-of-stroke signals. Since ATP is discontinued, order the ATE50X25 and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap.
