This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE12X5B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE12X5B 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 ACP12X5B
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X5B is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 5mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE12X5B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE12X5B (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 (Ø12mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 57 N | 42 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 79 N | 59 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 12 kgf | |
The ACE12X5B produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.
