This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE20X10 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE20X10 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 ATP20X10
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP20X10 is a single acting, pull (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm 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 ATE20X10 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP20X10
This is a single acting pull cylinder: an internal spring extends the rod to its home position and compressed air retracts it, so the part is pulled, never pushed. The 20 mm bore delivers 88.1 N of pull at 0.5 MPa (135.2 N at 0.7 MPa), both figures already net of the return spring, and at least 0.2 MPa is needed to overcome the spring. Note that the ATP family is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ATE20X10, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping from this DIN-standard body.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight electronics fixtures and small packaging heads. The rod end carries a female M6x1.0 thread and the air port is M5x0.8. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the moving parts; it never locks or holds a load, so on air loss the spring simply returns the rod to extended. This unit has no magnet fitted - order the optional -S code if you want CMSE or DMSE switches. As a working figure, plan on about 53 N of real pulling effort at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift about 4 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE20X10 (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 | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 88.1 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 135.2 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 ATP20X10 Is Used
Packaging nest ejection
Spring-extend action pushes finished blister cards out of a small forming nest on a tabletop packaging machine, pulling them clear at up to 500 mm/s.
Test fixture probe return
On an electronics test bench, the spring returns a contact probe block to its extended home position the instant air pressure drops, keeping the fixture fail-safe.
Bottling line gate retract
A 10 mm pull stroke retracts a small diverting gate on a bottling conveyor, letting bottles pass only while 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) air is applied.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP20X10 with the ATE20X10
Size against the job: if 88.1 N at 0.5 MPa is marginal, step up to the 25 mm bore for 170.9 N; if it is generous, the 16 mm bore at 53.3 N saves space. Remember the spring cannot hold a mid-stroke position - it always returns the rod fully extended on air loss. Mount with FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis brackets, and add the -S code only if CMSE/DMSE sensing is needed. For new projects, specify the ATE20X10 instead, since this model is out of production.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE20X10
- ✓ 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 ATP20X10 FAQ
Pull force is 88.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 135.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. Working pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed range 50-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C. The port is M5x0.8 and the rod end has a female M6x1.0 thread.
The short-body build saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits cramped jig plates and machine guards. The ATP family is discontinued; the ATE20X10 is the current ISO 21287 drop-in in the same bore, stroke and force class - verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before converting.
