This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE20X200B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE20X200B 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 ACP20X200B
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X200B is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 200mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE20X200B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X200B
A double acting compact cylinder with a 20 mm bore and a made-to-order 200 mm stroke, the ACP20X200B pushes with 157.1 N and pulls with 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 219.9 N on extension at 0.7 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) suits external nuts and knuckles, and the M5x0.8 port is the standard size for this bore. Note that 200 mm is beyond the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for a 20 mm bore, so AirTAC builds it to order.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight slides and guarding where a full-length body cannot. At 0.5 MPa the push force equates to about 16 kg of theoretical vertical lift, so plan on roughly 8 kg with a 2:1 margin. This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACE20X200, and buyers should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE20X200B (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 ACE20X200B 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 ACP20X200B Is Used
Pick-and-place lift in electronics assembly
With about 8 kg of practical vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the 20 mm bore handles small PCB trays and sensor housings over the long 200 mm travel.
Push-off station on a packaging conveyor
The 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to nudge cartons or blister packs off a belt, and the short body slots under low guarding.
Sample slide in a lab automation gantry
The made-to-order 200 mm stroke moves microplates or vials between stations where a full-length profile cylinder would not fit.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X200B with the ACE20X200B
For a 200 mm stroke at this force level, 157.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa covers light clamping and part transfer; step down to a 16 mm bore (100.5 N) for lighter loads or up to a 25 mm bore (245.4 N) if you need headroom. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. The male rod thread pairs with I/Y knuckles, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the same face. Order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no magnet is fitted. For new projects, specify ACE20X200, the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE20X200B
- ✓ 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 ACP20X200B 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. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed range 30-500 mm/s, and air filtered to 40 um. The 200 mm stroke is non-standard for this bore and built to order.
Order ACE20X200, the ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 20 mm bore, 200 mm stroke and force class with a matching short body and mounting family. Because the ACP was built to a DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The male rod thread, M5x0.8 port and optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches carry over in the same selection logic.
