This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE16X150S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE16X150S 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 ACP16X150S
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X150S is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 150mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE16X150S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X150S
A double acting compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard short-body format, the ACP16X150S pairs a 16 mm bore with a 150 mm stroke and delivers 100.5 N push and 75.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa (140.7 N / 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa). The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um, across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Its 150 mm stroke is longer than the 75 mm standard for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build.
Because the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it suits narrow slides and guarded stations. At 0.5 MPa the push force equates to roughly 10 kgf, so plan on lifting about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The S code fits the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be added for end-of-stroke sensing. This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is ACE16X150 - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE16X150S (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 (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 101 N | 75 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 141 N | 106 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 21 kgf | |
The ACE16X150S 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 ACP16X150S Is Used
Reject gate on a packaging line
The 150 mm stroke swings a lightweight reject flap clear of the product lane, while the fitted -S magnet and a CMSE switch confirm the gate has fully retracted before the next carton passes.
Small-part ejection from a plastic mold
With 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa the cylinder nudges finished clips off a narrow core pin; the short body fits where a full-length ISO 15552 profile cylinder would not reach.
Stopper on an assembly conveyor
Raising and lowering a stopper blade for 5 kg-max pallets, the 2:1 vertical margin keeps the lift comfortable, and a DMSE switch signals blade-up to the PLC.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X150S with the ACE16X150S
At 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, this 16 mm bore covers light clamping and part-presenting duties; drop to a 12 mm bore (56.5 N) for smaller loads or step up to 20 mm (157.1 N) when you need more margin. The 150 mm stroke is non-standard for this bore (75 mm max standard), so expect a made-to-order unit. The female M4x0.7 rod thread takes I/Y knuckles directly, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the same face. If you need position sensing, this S version already carries the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. For new designs, order ACE16X150 instead - it is the current drop-in for this force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE16X150S
- ✓ 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 ACP16X150S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa the figures are 140.7 N push and 105.6 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. As a rule of thumb, treat about 60 N (0.6 of the push rating) as the usable working force, which corresponds to lifting roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note the 150 mm stroke is a made-to-order length, since the standard maximum for a 16 mm bore is 75 mm.
Order ACE16X150, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same bore, stroke and force class in a matching short body. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, because the ACP was built to the DIN-standard format. The ACE keeps the same mounting family (FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis) and accepts CMSE / DMSE switches when the -S magnet is specified.
