This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE16X10B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE16X10B 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 ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP16X10B
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP16X10B is a single acting, pull (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 10mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ATE16X10B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP16X10B
A single acting compact pull cylinder, the ATP16X10B uses an internal spring to extend the 8 mm rod while compressed air retracts it, delivering 53.3 N of pull at 0.5 MPa (83.5 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the spring). The 16 mm bore needs at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring, and the short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures a full-length body cannot reach.
Because the spring returns the rod to its extended home position on air loss, the ATP16X10B fails safe to extended but never holds a mid-stroke position. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates travel, and the male rod thread (B code) bolts directly to standard I/Y knuckles. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ATE16X10, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. For a real-world margin, plan on roughly 32 N (about 3 kg) of usable pull at 0.5 MPa.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE16X10B (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 (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 53.3 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 83.5 N |
Single-acting pull: the spring extends the rod; air retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.

Where the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP16X10B Is Used
Spring-up ejection from a drill fixture
The spring lifts a small aluminium bracket clear of a drilling jig the moment air pressure drops, with the 10 mm stroke and 53.3 N pull at 0.5 MPa enough for a part of about 2.7 kg with margin.
Retracting a light gate on a packaging line
Air pressure pulls a slim guard arm out of the product path at up to 500 mm/s, and the spring snaps it back to the extended safe position on any air loss.
Sample lift in a compact lab analyzer
The short body fits inside a benchtop diagnostic instrument where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder would be twice too long, raising a 2 kg sample tray vertically with the spring as the fail-safe.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP16X10B with the ATE16X10B
Size the bore against your load: the 12 mm bore pulls only 25.9 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 20 mm gives 88.1 N, so the 16 mm bore at 53.3 N sits between them for light clamping or return tasks. If you need position holding mid-stroke, this spring-return pull design will not provide it - consider a double-acting ACP (now ACE) instead. The male rod thread suits knuckle-joint linkages; FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts are available. Sensors need the optional -S magnet code (CMSE / DMSE switches); this non-S model has no magnet. Order the ATE16X10 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE16X10B
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP16X10B FAQ
This 16 mm bore, 10 mm stroke pull cylinder gives 53.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 83.5 N at 0.7 MPa, both already net of the return spring. Working pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, air filtered to 40 um, speed 50-500 mm/s, and temperature -20 to +70 C. The spring extends the rod; air retracts it. On air loss it returns to extended and does not hold a mid-stroke position.
No - the ATP family is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is the ATE16X10 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 short-body format. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ATP was built to a DIN-standard compact pattern. If you also need position sensing, order the -S magnet variant with CMSE or DMSE switches.
