This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ASE63X5S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ASE63X5S 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 ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP63X5S
The AirTAC Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP63X5S is a single acting, push (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 5mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ASE63X5S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP63X5S
A single acting push cylinder with spring return, the ASP63X5S extends its 16 mm rod with air and retracts it by spring, so one air line is all the plumbing it needs. This 63 mm bore delivers 1420.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa (2044 N at 0.7 MPa), already net of the return spring, and the 5 mm stroke suits short clamp, eject or press-check moves. The model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke signalling. Note that the ASP family is discontinued; the current-production successor is the ASE63X5 in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs, guarding and gantry frames. In practical terms, plan on about 852 N (0.6 of the 0.5 MPa rating) for real work, which is roughly 87 kgf, so with a 2:1 margin it lifts about 43 kg vertically. The hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), from -20 to +70 C at 50-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ASE63X5S (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 (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Push force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1420.5 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2044.0 N |
Single-acting push: air extends the rod; the return spring retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.

Where the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP63X5S Is Used
Bottle-capping clamp
A 5 mm stroke is enough to seat a capping head onto a bottle neck, and the 1420.5 N push at 0.5 MPa holds the cap while the chuck spins.
Fixture part-present ejection
On a CNC fixture, the spring-return push nudges a machined bushing off its locating pin after the cycle, then retracts automatically when air is vented.
Gated inspection station
With the -S magnet and a DMSE switch, the short stroke confirms the reject gate has fully closed before the vision system triggers.
Replacing the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP63X5S with the ASE63X5S
Size against the 1420.5 N push at 0.5 MPa: a 50 mm bore gives about 875.5 N at the same pressure, while an 80 mm bore reaches about 2316.2 N, so step up or down depending on your clamp load. Remember the spring drives the rod home on air loss, so the cylinder returns to the retracted position rather than holding a mid-stroke setting. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the standard face, and CMSE / DMSE switches work because this unit carries the -S magnet. For new builds, order the ASE63X5 instead and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ASP is DIN-standard.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ASE63X5S
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP63X5S FAQ
Push force is 1420.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 2044 N at 0.7 MPa, both already net of the return spring. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, speed 50-500 mm/s. The rod is 16 mm with a female M10x1.5 thread, the port is 1/8" PT, and the fixed TPU bumper decelerates the rod at both ends.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow fixtures and tight guards. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke detection. The ASP63X5S itself is discontinued; the current drop-in is the ASE63X5, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
