This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE16X35B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE16X35B 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 ACP16X35B
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X35B is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 35mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE16X35B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X35B
The ACP16X35B is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and 35 mm stroke, delivering 100.5 N push and 75.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa (140.7 N push at 0.7 MPa). Air drives the rod in both directions, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston. Its hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod suit light clamping and positioning duty at 30-500 mm/s.
Because the short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into slim fixtures and guarding where a full-length cylinder cannot. At 0.5 MPa the push force equates to about 10 kg of theoretical lift, so plan on roughly 5 kg vertical capacity with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACE16X35, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE16X35B (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 ACE16X35B 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 ACP16X35B Is Used
Small-part ejection on assembly stations
The 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa clears finished connectors or bushings from nests in electronics and small-mechanism assembly lines, with the 35 mm stroke matching shallow die pockets.
Light clamping of jig lids
About 5 kg of usable vertical force with a 2:1 margin holds thin aluminium or plastic workpieces under drill and glue templates where space above the jig is tight.
Short-stroke sorting gates
With the optional -S magnet and CMSE or DMSE switches, the 35 mm stroke diverts small parts on conveyor chutes; without the -S code no magnet is fitted.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X35B with the ACE16X35B
Size both ways: if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is marginal, step up to the 20 mm bore (157.1 N push); if the load is under about 56 N, the 12 mm bore (56.5 N) saves more space. The 35 mm stroke sits well inside the 75 mm standard maximum for bore 16. The B code gives a male rod thread (M4x0.7 female on the non-B version) with a PT port thread. A plain ACP drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. This model is discontinued - order ACE16X35 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE16X35B
- ✓ 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 ACP16X35B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 105.6 N. The theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is a double acting 16 mm bore cylinder with an 8 mm rod, M5x0.8 ports, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating range and 30-500 mm/s speed. The model is discontinued; ACE16X35 is the current replacement.
The short-body build saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits slim guards and jigs. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the standard face. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE or DMSE switches; a plain ACP16X35B carries no magnet. A fixed TPU bumper decelerates the piston at both ends but does not hold a load.
