This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE16X200S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE16X200S 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 ACP16X200S
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X200S is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 200mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE16X200S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X200S
A double acting compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard short-body format, the ACP16X200S pairs a 16 mm bore with a 200 mm stroke that is made to order, since the standard catalogue for this bore stops at 75 mm. Push force is 100.5 N and pull force 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod keep the envelope short: roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder is saved, which is why this size suits slim pick-and-place arms and guarded stations.
The S in the model code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling. At 0.5 MPa the push force equates to about 10 kg of thrust, so plan on roughly 6 kg of real work or about 5 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACE16X200, same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE16X200S (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 ACE16X200S 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 ACP16X200S Is Used
Small-parts ejection on assembly machines
The 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to kick machined bushings or pressed contacts off a fixture into a chute, and the 200 mm made-to-order stroke clears deep pockets.
Position-checked clamping in test rigs
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm full extension of the 200 mm stroke before a leak or electrical test starts on wiring harnesses or PCB fixtures.
Light vertical lift in compact gantries
About 10 kg of thrust at 0.5 MPa lifts roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - suited to lowering camera heads or probe tips in slim inspection frames.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X200S with the ACE16X200S
For a 200 mm stroke at this force level, check the load first: 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa means about 60 N of usable work, so stay under roughly 6 kg of moving mass. If your load needs more, the 20 mm bore gives 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa; if less, the 12 mm bore delivers 56.5 N. The 200 mm stroke is non-standard for this bore (75 mm max standard), so it is built to order. The female M4x0.7 rod thread and 1/8-inch-class M5x0.8 ports suit small fixtures, and the fitted magnet works with CMSE / DMSE switches. Remember the rod drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must hold. Order ACE16X200 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE16X200S
- ✓ 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 ACP16X200S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 140.7 N push and 105.6 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
Yes. The standard stroke limit for the 16 mm bore is 75 mm, so 200 mm is a made-to-order build - expect a longer lead time. The ACP family itself is discontinued; the current-production successor is ACE16X200 (ISO 21287), which matches the bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before ordering the swap.
