This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ASE80X10 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ASE80X10 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 ASP80X10
The AirTAC Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP80X10 is a single acting, push (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ASE80X10 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP80X10
A single acting push cylinder with spring return, the ASP80X10 uses an 80 mm bore and a 10 mm stroke to deliver 2316.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa (3321.5 N at 0.7 MPa), both figures already net of the return spring. Air extends the rod; the spring retracts it to the normally retracted home position, so only one air line is needed and the minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight press fixtures and guarded assemblies where a full-length body cannot.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 20 mm S45C hard-chrome rod, a 1/4" supply port and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. With the 0.5 MPa push figure, plan on roughly 1390 N (about 141 kg of force) for real work, or think of it as lifting about 118 kg vertically once you halve the 236 kgf equivalent for a 2:1 margin. This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ASE80X10, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ASE80X10 (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 (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2316.2 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3321.5 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 ASP80X10 Is Used
Short-stroke press fixture
The 2316.2 N net push at 0.5 MPa clamps or stamps aluminium brackets in a 10 mm move, and the compact body slots into a press head where a full-length profile cylinder will not fit.
Ejector on a CNC jig
Air extends the rod to kick a machined housing off its locating pin; the spring retracts it home when air drops, so the station self-clears with a single 1/4" air line.
Case hold-down on a carton line
Holds flaps down during taping at up to 500 mm/s approach speed; on air loss the spring lifts the pad clear, releasing the carton without a control valve.
Replacing the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP80X10 with the ASE80X10
Size by force first: at 0.5 MPa this bore pushes 2316.2 N net of the spring, while a 63 mm bore gives 1420.5 N and a 100 mm bore reaches 3640.7 N. If your clamp or eject needs more than about 1390 N of usable force, stay at 80 mm or step up. The 10 mm stroke suits short eject or clamp moves only - single acting strokes stay short, and speed runs 50-500 mm/s. Mount with FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis; add the optional -S code if you need CMSE or DMSE switches, since without -S there is no magnet. Order the ASE80X10 as the current drop-in and verify the ISO 21287 mounting footprint.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ASE80X10
- ✓ 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 ASP80X10 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the push is 2316.2 N and at 0.7 MPa it is 3321.5 N - both already net of the return spring, so no further derating for the spring is needed. The cylinder is single acting: air extends the rod and the spring retracts it, needing at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring. Operating range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 50-500 mm/s. On air loss the spring returns the rod to its retracted home position; it does not hold a mid-stroke load.
Order the ASE80X10, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 80 mm bore, 10 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ASP was built to a DIN-standard compact pattern. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings carry over, and the optional -S magnet code for CMSE / DMSE switches is available on the replacement too.
