This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE20X80 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE20X80 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 ACP20X80
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X80 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 80mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE20X80 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X80
The ACP20X80 is a double acting compact cylinder with a 20 mm bore and 80 mm stroke, built on a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N, rising to 219.9 N push at 0.7 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 cannot. Note: this model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACE20X80.
For real-world sizing, plan on roughly 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rating), which lifts about 4.8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the port is M5x0.8. The magnet is not fitted on this code; order the -S variant if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing. Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping to the ACE.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE20X80 (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 ACE20X80 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 ACP20X80 Is Used
Small-parts press fitting
The 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa seats bearings or dowel pins into aluminium housings on an electronics assembly bench, with the 80 mm stroke clearing the fixture for loading.
Packaging line reject pusher
Mounted beside a carton conveyor, the compact short body kicks misaligned boxes off the belt at 30-500 mm/s without protruding past the guarding.
Lab clamp actuation
Clamps sample trays in a test rig; about 4.8 kg of vertical holding margin at 0.5 MPa suits lightweight fixtures, with the M5x0.8 port keeping plumbing minimal.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X80 with the ACE20X80
At 80 mm stroke this bore 20 sits mid-range: step down to ACP16X80 for lighter 100.5 N push duty at 0.5 MPa, or up to ACP25X80 when you need 245.4 N. Remember the plain cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches. For new projects, specify ACE20X80, the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE20X80
- ✓ 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 ACP20X80 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa, 219.9 N push and 164.9 N pull. Theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, rod 10 mm with M6x1.0 female thread, port M5x0.8.
Order ACE20X80, the ISO 21287 current-production successor: same 20 mm bore, 80 mm stroke and force class with a matching short body and mounting family. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. If you need position sensing, the -S magnet code pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches.
