This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE20X60 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE20X60 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 ACP20X60
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X60 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 60mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE20X60 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X60
The ACP20X60 is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 20 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, driving a 10 mm hard-chrome S45C rod through an M6x1.0 female thread. Its hard-anodized aluminium body runs on M5x0.8 ports at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and the short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
At 0.5 MPa this bore pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 219.9 N push. In practice plan on about 94 N of usable work force, which means it lifts roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - enough for small clamps and light part transfer. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is the ACE20X60, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE20X60 (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 ACE20X60 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 ACP20X60 Is Used
Small fixture clamping
The 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa secures aluminium brackets or plastic housings in machining jigs where the 60 mm stroke clears the part quickly.
Light part push-off
With about 8 kg of vertical-lift equivalent, the cylinder kicks small components off a conveyor lane at up to 500 mm/s between proximity stops.
Lab slide actuation
The short body and M5x0.8 ports suit benchtop testing rigs that slide sample trays 60 mm under a sensor array, using the optional -S magnet with CMSE switches.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X60 with the ACE20X60
For a 60 mm stroke in this force band, compare the 16 mm bore (100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) if the load is lighter, or step up to the 25 mm bore (245.4 N push) for heavier clamping. The 20 mm size sits comfortably between them with a 100 mm maximum standard stroke. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the same face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S there is no magnet. A plain ACP20X60 will drift if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Order the ACE20X60 as the drop-in successor.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE20X60
- ✓ 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 ACP20X60 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; theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting, 20 mm bore with 60 mm stroke, 10 mm rod with M6x1.0 female thread, M5x0.8 ports, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACP family. The current drop-in is the ACE20X60 (ISO 21287), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class. Because the ACP was DIN-standard, verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and your FA/FB, LB or CA/CB bracket fit before switching.
