This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ASE80X5 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ASE80X5 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 ASP80X5
The AirTAC Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP80X5 is a single acting, push (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 5mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ASE80X5 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP80X5
A single acting push cylinder with spring return, the ASP80X5 extends its 20 mm rod with air and retracts it by spring, needing only one air line and a minimum of 0.2 MPa to beat the spring. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 2316.2 N of push net of the spring (3321.5 N at 0.7 MPa), so it suits short-stroke clamping and pressing where a big bore must fit a small envelope. Its 5 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm standard range for bore 80.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in tight press fixtures and machine guards. In practice the 2316.2 N figure supports about 1390 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, or lifts roughly 118 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is the ASE80X5, a drop-in successor in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ASE80X5 (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.

Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (adjustable stroke).
Where the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP80X5 Is Used
Press-frame part ejection
The 2316.2 N push at 0.5 MPa ejects stamped brackets from a die on a 5 mm kick, with the spring clearing the part each cycle at 50-500 mm/s.
CNC fixture swing clamp
A 5 mm stroke is enough to swing a clamp arm onto an aluminium housing; the short body fits where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder cannot.
Case reject pusher
On a packaging line, the bore 80 push nudges misaligned cartons off a conveyor; spring return resets the pusher the moment air drops.
Replacing the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP80X5 with the ASE80X5
Size by force: bore 80 gives 2316.2 N at 0.5 MPa net of the spring; step down to bore 63 (1420.5 N) for lighter clamps or up to bore 100 (3640.7 N) for heavy presses. The spring drives the rod home on air loss, so it will not hold a mid-stroke position. Order the -S code if you need the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; this plain ASP80X5 has no magnet. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the standard face. Replacement: ASE80X5.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ASE80X5
- ✓ 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 ASP80X5 FAQ
Push is 2316.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3321.5 N at 0.7 MPa, already net of the return spring. It is a single acting push, spring-return cylinder with an 80 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, 20 mm rod, female M12x1.75 rod thread and 1/4" port. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 50-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um. The model is discontinued; the replacement is ASE80X5.
The rod ends in a female M12x1.75 thread on the blank code, and the fixed TPU bumper at each end simply decelerates the rod - it never locks or holds a load. For switching, order the -S variant with the optional magnet so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can sense position; this plain ASP80X5 carries no magnet. Check the ISO 21287 dimensions of the ASE80X5 successor before swapping.
