This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE16X75SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE16X75SB 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 ACP16X75SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X75SB 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 ACE16X75SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X75SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and 75 mm stroke, the ACP16X75SB pushes with 100.5 N and pulls with 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N on the extend stroke at 0.7 MPa. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures, guarding and gantries. This S-coded version carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be fitted for end-position sensing.
The B code gives a male rod thread on the 8 mm rod, and the M5x0.8 port keeps plumbing small. Running on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um, it moves at 30-500 mm/s with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. For real-world sizing, plan on roughly 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note the ACP family is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACE16X75, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE16X75SB (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 ACE16X75SB 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 ACP16X75SB Is Used
Small-parts ejection on assembly benches
With 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, the 16 mm bore ejects finished connectors or terminal blocks from nest fixtures, and the short body fits under low bench framing.
Position-verified clamping in test rigs
The -S magnet lets CMSE or DMSE switches confirm full clamp or release on PCB test fixtures, while the male rod thread accepts a custom pressure pad.
Light vertical lift in lab automation
The rod lifts about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa, enough for raising sensor heads or sample trays within the 30-500 mm/s speed range.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X75SB with the ACE16X75SB
At 16 mm bore this model delivers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa; step down to a 12 mm bore (56.5 N) for lighter tooling or up to 20 mm (157.1 N) if your load grows. The 75 mm stroke sits at the maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order length is needed. Choose the male rod thread (B) when your linkage bolts directly to the rod, and pair the -S magnet with CMSE or DMSE switches where position feedback matters. For a held load after air loss, add a rod lock or pilot check valve, since the piston will drift. Order the ACE16X75 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE16X75SB
- ✓ 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 ACP16X75SB FAQ
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. Theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is a double acting 16 mm bore, 75 mm stroke compact cylinder with an 8 mm rod, M5x0.8 port, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating range, -20 to +70 C temperature limits and 30-500 mm/s speed.
Order the ACE16X75, the ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same bore, stroke and force class with a short body and a compatible mounting family (FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis). Because the ACP was DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, and remember the magnet on this unit is the optional -S code, not a default on every ACE.
