This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE20X35 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE20X35 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 ACP20X35
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X35 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 35mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE20X35 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X35
The ACP20X35 is a double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP family, with a 20 mm bore and 35 mm stroke driving a 10 mm hard-chrome S45C rod from a hard-anodized aluminium body. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 219.9 N and 164.9 N, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
Plan on roughly 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rating), which corresponds to lifting around 9 kg vertically - halve that to about 4 kg if you want a 2:1 margin on a real part. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed range 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is ACE20X35, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE20X35 (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 ACE20X35 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 ACP20X35 Is Used
Small jig clamping
The 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium brackets or plastic housings in drilling and tapping jigs, with the 35 mm stroke clearing the part quickly.
Packaging push-off
A short 35 mm stroke at 30-500 mm/s kicks small cartons or blisters off a conveyor lane where a full-length body would not fit beside the guide rail.
Lab slide actuation
The compact 20 mm bore body slides sample trays or shutter gates in benchtop analysers, with the optional -S magnet feeding CMSE / DMSE position signals.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X35 with the ACE20X35
For a 35 mm stroke in this force class, compare the 16 mm bore (100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) if the load is light, or step up to the 25 mm bore (245.4 N push) for heavier clamping. Remember a plain ACP20X35 drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must hold. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches (without -S there is no magnet). This unit is discontinued; order ACE20X35 as the drop-in successor.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE20X35
- ✓ 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 ACP20X35 FAQ
Push is 157.1 N and pull 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push is 219.9 N and pull 164.9 N, with a theoretical 32 kgf maximum at 1.0 MPa. It is a double acting 20 mm bore, 35 mm stroke compact cylinder with a 10 mm rod, M5x0.8 port, female M6x1.0 rod thread, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) working pressure and 30-500 mm/s speed.
Order ACE20X35, the current ISO 21287 replacement: swap the P for an E and you get the same bore, stroke and force class in a matching short body. Because the ACP was built to a DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and your FA/FB, LB or CA/CB mounting choice before swapping.
