This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE20X110SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE20X110SB 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 ACP20X110SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X110SB is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 110mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE20X110SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X110SB
A double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, the ACP20X110SB pairs a 20 mm bore with a 110 mm stroke and a male-threaded 10 mm rod. Because the short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into narrow fixtures where a full-length body simply will not fit. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N, so a practical working figure is roughly 94 N of real effort - about 9.6 kg of usable push once you plan a sensible margin.
The 110 mm stroke is longer than the 100 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is supplied as a made-to-order build. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries the optional -S magnet, which this model includes, letting CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches report end positions. Note the fixed TPU bumpers only soften end-of-travel - they never hold a load if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a suspended part must stay put. This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACE20X110, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE20X110SB (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 (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 157 N | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | 165 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 kgf | |
The ACE20X110SB 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 ACP20X110SB Is Used
Small-part ejection from plastic molds
A 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to strip and eject small molded clips or bushings from shallow cavities, and the short body fits the tight space under the mold plate.
Position-checked sorting gate on a conveyor
With the fitted -S magnet and a CMSE or DMSE switch, the gate confirms it has fully retracted before the PLC releases the next part, at speeds from 30 to 500 mm/s.
Light parts feeder for electronics assembly
Halving the 16 kg vertical-lift equivalent gives about 8 kg of safe lifting margin, ideal for lowering PCB trays or connector reels a short 110 mm stroke into a nest.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X110SB with the ACE20X110SB
At 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa this 20 mm bore suits light clamping and transfer heads; step down to a 16 mm bore (100.5 N) for smaller loads or up to a 25 mm bore (245.4 N) when the job grows. The male rod thread (B code) takes I/Y knuckles directly, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the standard face. If you need position feedback, this -S version already carries the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACE20X110 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting footprint first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE20X110SB
- ✓ 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 ACP20X110SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 219.9 N push and 164.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For sizing, treat roughly 94 N (about 9.6 kg) as the practical working force, or about 8 kg for vertical lifts with a 2:1 margin.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is a short ISO 21287-class build, roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and a 10 mm male-threaded rod on a PT port. The S in the model code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE and DMSE switches can be clamped on for end-of-stroke detection. This model is discontinued - order ACE20X110 and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
