This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE16X95SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE16X95SB 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 ACP16X95SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X95SB is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 95mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE16X95SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X95SB
The ACP16X95SB is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and a 95 mm stroke, male rod thread and the optional -S magnet fitted so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 140.7 N and 105.6 N. Its hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s.
Because the short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into slim slides and guarding where a full-length body cannot. In practice plan on roughly 60 N (about 6 kgf) of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note the 95 mm stroke is beyond the 75 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is made to order. This model is discontinued: the current drop-in is ACE16X95, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE16X95SB (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 ACE16X95SB 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 ACP16X95SB Is Used
Compact ejection on assembly fixtures
The 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to seat small connectors or pins in electronics assembly jigs, and the short body fits inside the fixture plate where a full-length cylinder would overhang.
Position-checked part present slide
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm extend and retract on a 95 mm slide that pushes about 60 N of real work, giving PLC feedback without external proxies.
Small carton flap tuck station
About 5 kg of vertical lift equivalent with a 2:1 margin suits tucking or pressing light carton flaps on a packaging line running at moderate 30-500 mm/s speeds.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP16X95SB with the ACE16X95SB
For a 95 mm stroke in this force band, compare the 12 mm bore (56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) if the load is light, or step up to the 20 mm bore (157.1 N) if you need headroom. The male rod thread (B code) suits I/Y rod knuckles, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the same face. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Order ACE16X95 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE16X95SB
- ✓ 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 ACP16X95SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa, 140.7 N push and 105.6 N pull; theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, port M5x0.8, rod 8 mm with male thread, speed 30-500 mm/s, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi). The 95 mm stroke is a made-to-order size above the 75 mm standard maximum for this bore.
Order ACE16X95, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 16 mm bore, 95 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your existing fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard, and re-order the -S magnet code if your CMSE / DMSE switches must keep working.
