This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE16X75S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE16X75S 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 ACP16X75S
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X75S is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 75mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE16X75S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X75S
Double acting on both strokes, the ACP16X75S is AirTAC's DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and 75 mm stroke, a hard-anodized aluminium body and an S45C hard-chrome piston rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 140.7 N and 105.6 N, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 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 guards. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped on for end-of-stroke sensing.
For real-world sizing, plan on about 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - roughly a 6 kg horizontal load - and expect it to lift about 5 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston but never holds a load: if the valve centres or air is lost the rod drifts, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held positions. Note that the ACP family is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACE16X75, and ISO 21287 mounting dimensions should be confirmed before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE16X75S (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 ACE16X75S 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 ACP16X75S Is Used
Small-parts ejection on assembly stations
A 75 mm stroke and 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to kick rejected components off a conveyor lane, while the fitted -S magnet lets a CMSE switch confirm the retract position every cycle.
Light clamping in test jigs
With about 60 N of practical clamping force at 0.5 MPa, the 16 mm bore holds small PCBs or connector housings in a functional-test fixture, and the short body fits where a full-length cylinder cannot.
Carton flap tucking on a packaging line
The 75 mm stroke covers the travel needed to fold a flap on a small carton, running 30-500 mm/s, and the compact aluminium body mounts flush against the machine frame.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X75S with the ACE16X75S
At 16 mm bore this sits in the light-duty band: if 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is marginal, step up to the 20 mm bore (157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa); if it is oversized, the 12 mm bore gives 56.5 N. The 75 mm stroke is the maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order length is needed. The female M4x0.7 rod thread takes I/Y knuckles directly, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the mounting face. Because the -S magnet is fitted here, CMSE / DMSE switches work out of the box. For new builds, order the ACE16X75 instead - this ACP model is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE16X75S
- ✓ 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 ACP16X75S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 16 mm bore 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; the theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the port is M5x0.8. For sizing, treat about 60 N as the usable push force.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis options. This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted for position feedback. The ACP16X75S itself is discontinued; the current drop-in is the ACE16X75 - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
