This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE16X80S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE16X80S 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 ACP16X80S
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X80S 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 ACE16X80S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X80S
A double acting compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard short-body format, the ACP16X80S pairs a 16 mm bore with an 80 mm stroke and delivers 100.5 N push and 75.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa (140.7 N push at 0.7 MPa). The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Its 80 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this size suits slim pick-and-place heads and compact guarding where a full-length body will not fit. Because the -S magnet is fitted, CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the tube for end-of-stroke signalling. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is ACE16X80, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a sizing rule, plan on roughly 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE16X80S (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 ACE16X80S 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 ACP16X80S Is Used
Small fixture clamping
The 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa seats light workpieces in drill and assembly jigs, and the short body fits inside tight fixture plates.
Compact pick-and-place lift
With about 60 N of usable push, the rod lifts roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - ideal for small connector or PCB trays.
Guarded slide detection
The fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE or DMSE switches, so machine controls confirm gate or slide position without extra brackets.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X80S with the ACE16X80S
Choose the ACP16X80S when a 16 mm bore is right: at 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N, enough for light clamping and small part transfer. If your load needs more, the 20 mm bore gives 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa; if less, the 12 mm bore gives 56.5 N. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. The 80 mm stroke is non-standard for this bore (max standard 75 mm) and is made to order. This model is discontinued - order the ACE16X80 as the current drop-in and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE16X80S
- ✓ 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 ACP16X80S 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. Theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 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, air filtered to 40 um. The 80 mm stroke is a made-to-order size above the 75 mm standard maximum for this bore.
The short-body build saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into narrow gantries and guarding. The -S magnet fitted to this model lets you clip CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches onto the tube for end-of-stroke signals. The fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate at the ends and never hold a load. This model is discontinued; the ACE16X80 is the current drop-in - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
