This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE20X200S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE20X200S 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.

The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X200S 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 ACE20X200S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ACP20X200S is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 20 mm bore and a 200 mm stroke, fitted with the optional -S magnet so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for position feedback. Push force is 157.1 N and pull force is 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 219.9 N and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa. Note that 200 mm is beyond the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for a bore 20 body, so this unit is made to order.
Its hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in a 200 mm-stroke build where space is tight. At 0.5 MPa the push force lifts roughly 16 kg against gravity, so plan on about 8 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin, or around 94 N of usable push after derating. This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACE20X200, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE20X200S (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.
| 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 ACE20X200S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.
| ACP | DIN compact cylinder (double-acting, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 20 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×200 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (adjustable stroke).
With about 8 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, this 200 mm stroke suits lifting small housings or connector trays between a bowl feeder and an assembly nest.
The 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to clamp PCB carrier frames or small die-cast covers, and the 200 mm reach clears deep fixture pockets that a short-stroke unit cannot.
Because the -S magnet is fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm extend and retract of a 200 mm eject stroke pushing blister packs or carton flaps at up to 500 mm/s.
Size both ways: a bore 16 unit gives 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a bore 25 reaches 245.4 N, so pick the 20 mm bore when your load sits between roughly 60 and 150 N after derating. Remember that a plain cylinder of this type drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting choices include FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis, and the -S magnet on this model accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACE20X200 as the current drop-in successor and verify ISO 21287 dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
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. 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, running on air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s. The 200 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 100 mm standard maximum for bore 20.
It is a short-body ISO 21287-class compact cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounting. The ACP family is discontinued; the ACE20X200 is the current-production drop-in with the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before you swap.
