This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE16X35SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE16X35SB 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 ACP16X35SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X35SB 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 ACE16X35SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X35SB
The ACP16X35SB is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and 35 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N, rising to 140.7 N on the extend stroke at 0.7 MPa. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body cannot. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to I/Y rod knuckles.
This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped to the body for end-of-stroke sensing. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 60 N (roughly 6 kg of thrust) of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 5 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied. Note that the ACP family is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACE16X35, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE16X35SB (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 ACE16X35SB 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 ACP16X35SB Is Used
Small-parts press fit
Pressing dowel pins or bushings into plastic housings on an electronics assembly bench, where the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough and the short body fits under a low gantry.
Indexed fixture clamping
Clamping a bracket during a drilling cycle on a transfer line, with CMSE switches reading extend and retract positions thanks to the -S magnet fitted on this model.
Carton ejector on a packing head
Kicking small cartons off a conveyor lane at up to 500 mm/s, using the male rod thread to pick up a knuckle and the compact body to fit the packing frame.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X35SB with the ACE16X35SB
For a 35 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 extra margin. The 16 mm bore tops out at a 75 mm standard stroke, so the 35 mm travel here is well inside range. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing, and specify FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounting to match the fixture. For new builds, source the ACE16X35 instead, as this ACP model is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE16X35SB
- ✓ 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 ACP16X35SB FAQ
Push is 100.5 N and pull is 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 140.7 N and pull to 105.6 N, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is a double acting 16 mm bore, 35 mm stroke compact cylinder with an 8 mm rod, M5x0.8 ports, male rod thread, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
Order the ACE16X35, the current-production ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 16 mm bore, 35 mm stroke and force class with a short body and a matching mounting family (FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis). Because the ACP was built to a DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The ACE also accepts the -S magnet option for CMSE / DMSE switches.
