This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE20X75 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE20X75 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 ACP20X75 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 75mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE20X75 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ACP20X75 is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 20 mm bore and 75 mm stroke, driving a 10 mm hard-chrome 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 peak of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding. Air runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), rod speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends.
Practically, plan on about 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - enough for small clamps, gates and part ejection. This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACE20X75 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The magnet is optional: order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE20X75 (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 ACE20X75 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. |
| ×75 | 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).
Pressing dowel pins or bushings into aluminium housings on an electronics assembly bench, where the 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa suits light interference fits and the 75 mm stroke clears loading by hand.
Pushing a divert gate on a snack-food conveyor to route product between two chutes; the short body fits inside the guard channel where a full-length profile cylinder will not.
Clamping small brackets in a drill jig for bicycle-frame tubes, using about 94 N of practical holding force at 0.5 MPa and the CA clevis to absorb slight misalignment.
For a 75 mm stroke around 157 N of push, the 20 mm bore is the natural pick; step down to a 16 mm bore (100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter loads or up to a 25 mm bore (245.4 N) when you need headroom. Remember a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings plus the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches let you match existing fixtures. Since the ACP20X75 is discontinued, order the ACE20X75 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
At 0.5 MPa the ACP20X75 pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 219.9 N and pulls 164.9 N, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The model is discontinued - the current drop-in is the ACE20X75 (P changed to E), same 20 mm bore, 75 mm stroke and force class; confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
It is a compact short-body cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome 10 mm rod, M5x0.8 ports, female M6x1.0 rod thread, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and a speed range of 30-500 mm/s. The short body saves about half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Sensors are possible only with the optional -S magnet code, which allows CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet.
