This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE16X200SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE16X200SB 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 ACP16X200SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X200SB 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 ACE16X200SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X200SB
A double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, the ACP16X200SB pairs a 16 mm bore with a 200 mm stroke and a male rod thread (B code). At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N, rising to 140.7 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 200 mm stroke is longer than the 75 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. Note that this model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is ACE16X200, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod keeps the short ISO 21287-class body roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits narrow gantries and guarding. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be fitted for end-position sensing. In practice, plan on about 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s and fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE16X200SB (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 ACE16X200SB 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 ACP16X200SB Is Used
Pick-and-place of small housings
Lifting aluminium die-cast housings of about 5 kg from a casting tray into a machining fixture, where the 200 mm stroke covers the full lift and the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa gives a 2:1 margin.
Indexed inspection slide
A quality station that slides circuit boards 200 mm under a camera, using the -S magnet with DMSE switches to confirm both end positions before the vision cycle starts.
Light clamping in a tight jig
Clamping plastic covers inside a narrow assembly jig where the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder and the 60 N usable push is ample.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X200SB with the ACE16X200SB
For a 200 mm stroke at this force level, compare the 12 mm bore (56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) if the load is lighter, or step up to the 20 mm bore (157.1 N push) for more headroom. Keep in mind that a plain unit of this type drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Foot (LB), flange (FA/FB) and clevis (CA/CB) mountings are available, and the -S magnet in this code enables CMSE / DMSE switch sensing. Order ACE16X200 as the current drop-in successor.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE16X200SB
- ✓ 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 ACP16X200SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder delivers 100.5 N push and 75.4 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 140.7 N push and 105.6 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 200 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard limit for the 16 mm bore, so it is produced as a made-to-order item. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287-class format, saving roughly half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a male rod thread and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted. The ACP family is discontinued; ACE16X200 is the current drop-in successor in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
