This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE16X80B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE16X80B 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 ACP16X80B
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X80B is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 80mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE16X80B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X80B
The ACP16X80B is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and an 80 mm male-threaded rod stroke. Air drives the piston both ways, and fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends. Push force is 100.5 N and pull force is 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa. The 80 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACE16X80.
The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim slides and guarding where a full-length body cannot. Because about 60% of the 100.5 N push is realistic working force, plan on roughly 60 N, which lifts about 10 kg vertically - or about 5 kg with a 2:1 margin. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the same face. The magnet is optional: only the -S code enables CMSE / DMSE switches, and this base unit has none.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE16X80B (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 ACE16X80B 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 ACP16X80B Is Used
Small-part press fitting
The 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa seats dowel pins or bushings into aluminium housings on electronics assembly benches, with the 80 mm stroke clearing tall fixtures.
Packaging line reject pusher
Mounted behind a narrow carton conveyor, the short body ejects misprinted blister packs into a bin at up to 500 mm/s without blocking the guard line.
Lab dispensing slide
The male rod thread drives a pipette carriage on a compact test-rig gantry, and the optional -S magnet with a DMSE switch confirms home position each cycle.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X80B with the ACE16X80B
Size by force: a 12 mm bore gives 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 20 mm bore reaches 157.1 N - the 16 mm bore at 100.5 N sits between them for light clamping and part ejection. A plain ACP drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE position switches, and pick FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis to match the fixture. For new designs, specify the ACE16X80 instead - same bore, stroke and force class in the current ISO 21287 family; confirm its mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE16X80B
- ✓ 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 ACP16X80B 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. The standard stroke limit for the 16 mm bore is 75 mm, so the 80 mm stroke here is a non-standard, made-to-order build. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the piston at each end - they do not lock or hold a load. The magnet is only fitted when you order the -S code for CMSE / DMSE switches. The ACP16X80B is discontinued; the ACE16X80 is the current drop-in successor, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
