This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE20X150S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE20X150S 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 ACP20X150S
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X150S 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 ACE20X150S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X150S
A double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, the ACP20X150S pairs a 20 mm bore with a 150 mm stroke and the -S magnet option, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke sensing. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N, rising to 219.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs, guarding and gantry axes. As a working rule, budget about 94 N (roughly 9.5 kgf) of real work at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that the 150 mm stroke exceeds the 100 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. The ACP family is discontinued; the current drop-in is ACE20X150, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE20X150S (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 ACE20X150S 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 ACP20X150S Is Used
Small-parts ejector on assembly fixtures
The 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clears a finished connector or sensor cap from a nest, while the 150 mm stroke reaches deep into the fixture plate.
Lab sample press
About 9.5 kgf of usable force at 0.5 MPa presses lids or test coupons gently; the -S magnet feeds a CMSE switch signal to the PLC for cycle counting.
Vertical indexing pin in a packaging machine
Lifts roughly 8 kg with a 2:1 margin when mounted rod-down, and the short body fits under a low guard where a full-length cylinder cannot.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X150S with the ACE20X150S
Size both ways: if 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 16 mm bore gives 100.5 N; if it falls short, the 25 mm bore delivers 245.4 N. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard face. This unit carries the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. Order ACE20X150 as the current-production replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE20X150S
- ✓ 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 ACP20X150S FAQ
Push 157.1 N and pull 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa; push 219.9 N and pull 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa; theoretical maximum 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting, runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um, proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, with a 10 mm rod, M6x1.0 female rod thread and M5x0.8 ports.
Yes. The standard stroke limit for bore 20 is 100 mm, so 150 mm is a made-to-order, non-standard build. The ACP series itself is discontinued; the current-production successor ACE20X150 offers the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before switching.
