This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE20X150 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE20X150 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 ACP20X150
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X150 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 150mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE20X150 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X150
The ACP20X150 is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 20 mm bore and a 150 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 219.9 N and 164.9 N, with a theoretical 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding. Note the 150 mm stroke exceeds the 100 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod with a fixed TPU bumper at each end, running 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). As a rule of thumb, plan on about 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 9 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. This model is discontinued: the current drop-in is the ACE20X150, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE20X150 (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 ACE20X150 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 ACP20X150 Is Used
Compact jig clamping
The short body fits inside dense drilling and welding jigs where a full-length cylinder cannot, delivering 157.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa on the 20 mm bore.
Light vertical lifting
With about 9 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the 150 mm stroke suits small pick-and-place risers and part-eject stations in assembly cells.
Packaging push-off
Pushing cartons or trays off a conveyor lane needs modest force; the 219.9 N push at 0.7 MPa and 30-500 mm/s speed range cover these short-stroke pushes.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X150 with the ACE20X150
Size both ways: the 16 mm bore gives 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 25 mm bore reaches 245.4 N, so step up if your load needs more than about 94 N of working force. Remember a plain ACP20X150 drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold position. Mounting options are FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this code has no magnet fitted. For new projects order the ACE20X150, the current-production successor in the same force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE20X150
- ✓ 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 ACP20X150 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 219.9 N and pulls 164.9 N. The theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 20 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 port, a 10 mm rod with female M6x1.0 thread, and runs 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
No - the ACP family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is the ACE20X150, an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, and order the -S code if you need the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
