This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE20X95SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE20X95SB 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 ACP20X95SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X95SB is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 95mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE20X95SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X95SB
The ACP20X95SB is a double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, with a 20 mm bore, 95 mm stroke and a male rod thread on its 10 mm rod. Air drives the piston both ways, and fixed TPU bumpers at each end absorb end-of-travel shock. 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 hard-anodized aluminium body is roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same stroke, so it slots into tight slides and fixtures where a full-length body will not fit.
Because the -S magnet is fitted on this model, CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto the body for end-of-stroke signalling. For sizing, treat about 94 N (roughly 0.6 of the push force) as the usable output at 0.5 MPa, which is enough to lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is the ACE20X95 in the ISO 21287 ACE family, so confirm mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE20X95SB (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 ACE20X95SB 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 ACP20X95SB Is Used
Small parts press-fit station
The 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa suits pressing bushings or dowels into aluminium housings on an electronics assembly bench, with the short body fitting inside the press frame.
Position-checked gating on a packaging line
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm gate open and closed positions on a carton diverting gate running at 30-500 mm/s.
Light vertical lift in a test rig
Lifting about 8 kg of fixture weight vertically with a 2:1 margin, the 95 mm stroke raises and lowers sensor probes over PCB test fixtures.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP20X95SB with the ACE20X95SB
At 95 mm the stroke sits just under the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for the 20 mm bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. If 157.1 N at 0.5 MPa is marginal for your load, step up to the 25 mm bore (245.4 N push); if the force is generous, the 16 mm bore (100.5 N push) saves more space. The male rod thread (B code) suits rod knuckles and external tooling, while FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must be held. Order the ACE20X95 as the current drop-in successor.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE20X95SB
- ✓ 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 ACP20X95SB 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. It is double acting with a 20 mm bore, 95 mm stroke, 10 mm rod with male thread, M5x0.8 ports, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends.
Order the ACE20X95, the ISO 21287 ACE model that swaps the P for an E. It matches the same 20 mm bore, 95 mm stroke and force class with a similarly short body, and accepts the same FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings. Because the ACP was built to a DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before making the swap.
