This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE16X85S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE16X85S 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 ACP16X85S
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X85S is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 85mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE16X85S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X85S
Double acting on both strokes, the ACP16X85S is AirTAC's DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and an 85 mm stroke. 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 85 mm stroke is longer than the 75 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for position feedback.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which makes it a good fit for slim jigs and guarded stations. A practical sizing rule: plan on about 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACE16X85, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE16X85S (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 ACE16X85S 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 ACP16X85S Is Used
Compact jig clamping
The short body fits inside tight drill and assembly jigs where the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps small brackets or printed parts securely.
Position-checked ejector
With the fitted -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm part ejection on a small electronics test station; the 85 mm stroke clears deep fixtures.
Light vertical lift
Lifts about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, suiting small lid-lifting or chute-diverter duties on packaging benches.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X85S with the ACE16X85S
For a 16 mm bore the 0.5 MPa push is 100.5 N; if your load needs more, step up to the 20 mm bore at 157.1 N push, and if it needs less, the 12 mm bore gives 56.5 N. The 85 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard maximum for this bore, so expect a made-to-order unit. This version carries the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, and the female M4x0.7 rod thread accepts I/Y knuckles. Since a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Order ACE16X85 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE16X85S
- ✓ 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 ACP16X85S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N. At 0.7 MPa the figures are 140.7 N push and 105.6 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
No - the ACP family is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is ACE16X85 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions of the ACE before swapping it into your fixture.
