This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE20X75SBH — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE20X75SBH 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 ACP20X75SBH

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X75SBH
The ACP20X75SBH is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 20 mm bore and 75 mm stroke, a male rod thread on its 10 mm rod, and an M5x0.8 air port. 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, with a theoretical ceiling of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because the short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into tight pick-and-place heads and fixture plates where a full-length body simply will not fit. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto the body for end-of-stroke signalling.
In practice, plan on about 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (roughly 0.6 of the rated force), which is about 9 kg of vertical lift capability with a 2:1 margin - enough for small aluminium brackets, plastic trays or sensor nests. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod run on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACE20X75, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before you swap.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE20X75SBH (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 ACE20X75SBH 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 ACP20X75SBH Is Used
Small-part ejection on assembly fixtures
The 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa (about 9 kg of practical vertical lift) ejects finished plastic caps and stamped clips from nests on rotary indexing tables, with the 75 mm stroke clearing the part in one move.
Position-verified clamping in test rigs
Because this unit carries the -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm the clamp has fully closed on PCB test fixtures before the probe cycle starts, all inside a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Carton flap tuck on packaging lines
With 117.8 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, the cylinder folds cardboard flaps on a semi-automatic taping station, and the fixed TPU bumpers absorb the end-of-stroke shock at 30-500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X75SBH with the ACE20X75SBH
Size both ways before committing: the 16 mm bore gives 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the 25 mm bore delivers 245.4 N if you need headroom - the 20 mm sits between them at 157.1 N. If the application must hold position with the valve centred or air lost, this cylinder will drift; add a rod lock or pilot check valve upstream. The male rod thread (B code) suits I/Y rod knuckles, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounting bolts to the standard face. For new designs, order the ACE20X75 instead - same bore, stroke and force class, currently in production.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE20X75SBH
- ✓ 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 ACP20X75SBH 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. The model is discontinued and the current-production replacement is the ACE20X75 - same 20 mm bore, 75 mm stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard.
The compact aluminium body cuts about 50% of the mounting length compared with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow gantries and guarded cells. The -S magnet fitted to this model lets you clip CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches anywhere along the body for stroke signalling. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), port M5x0.8, speed 30-500 mm/s.
