This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE20X60S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE20X60S 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 ACP20X60S
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X60S 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 ACE20X60S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X60S
A double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, the ACP20X60S pairs a 20 mm bore with a 60 mm stroke and carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke sensing. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 157.1 N and pulls with 117.8 N, rising to 219.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod run at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits slim fixtures and guarded stations. In practice, plan on about 94 N (roughly 9.6 kgf) of usable push at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACE20X60, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE20X60S (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 ACE20X60S 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 ACP20X60S Is Used
Small-part ejection on assembly stations
The 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa ejects stamped terminals or plastic caps from nests, and the 60 mm stroke clears the die in tight cells.
Position-verified clamping of PCB fixtures
With the -S magnet driving CMSE / DMSE switches, the controller confirms clamp-and-release on electronics test jigs without external proximity sensors.
Bottle-capping press on packaging lines
About 8 kg of vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin suits light snap-on capper heads where the short body must fit under a low guard.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X60S with the ACE20X60S
For a 60 mm stroke at this force level, 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 that a plain unit drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must be held. The -S magnet in this model pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the same face. Since ACP20X60S is discontinued, order the ACE20X60 as the current equivalent after confirming ISO 21287 dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE20X60S
- ✓ 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 ACP20X60S 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
The model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACE20X60, which matches the same 20 mm bore, 60 mm stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN standard. This unit already carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body groove.
