This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE20X10B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE20X10B 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 ATP20X10B
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP20X10B 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 ATE20X10B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP20X10B
The ATP20X10B is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return, now discontinued: the internal spring extends the 10 mm rod and compressed air retracts it, delivering 88.1 N of pull at 0.5 MPa (135.2 N at 0.7 MPa), net of the spring. Air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) drives it at 50-500 mm/s, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi) and a working range of -20 to +70 C. The B code gives a male rod thread on the 10 mm rod, and the port is M5x0.8.
Its ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into shallow fixtures and guarding where a full-length body cannot. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. For sizing, plan on roughly 53 N of usable pull at 0.5 MPa, which is about 4 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. If you need position sensing, order the -S variant with the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches - this model has no magnet fitted. The current-production replacement is the ATE20X10 (swap the P for an E); confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE20X10B (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 ATP20X10B Is Used
Spring-extended safety latch
Holds a small machine guard latch engaged by spring force; 0.2 MPa of air retracts it to release, and any air loss re-latches the guard automatically.
Fixture pin retraction
Pulls a 10 mm locating pin out of a drilling jig between cycles; the 10 mm stroke and 88.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa suit light pins in tight clamping pockets.
Label-head lift-off
Springs a small print-and-apply head away from the web at rest; air pull retracts the head only while the label cycle runs, at 50-500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP20X10B with the ATE20X10B
At 88.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, the 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm bore (53.3 N) and the 25 mm bore (170.9 N) - step down for lighter latches, up if your return load needs more margin. The 10 mm stroke is well inside the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order stroke is needed. Choose the male rod thread (this B version) when your knuckle or fixture bolts onto a stud; pick the female thread version for a flush socket fit. Add FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounting to match your fixture, and remember the -S code if CMSE / DMSE sensing is planned. Since this model is discontinued, quote the ATE20X10 as the drop-in successor and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE20X10B
- ✓ 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 ATP20X10B FAQ
This single acting pull cylinder gives 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) with air filtered to 40 um, proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, and speed 50-500 mm/s. The bore is 20 mm, stroke 10 mm, rod 10 mm with a male thread, and the port is M5x0.8. At 0.5 MPa that is roughly 4 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
The ISO 21287 short body cuts mounting length by about 50% versus an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounts bolt straight to standard fixture faces. A fixed TPU bumper decelerates the rod at each end. The ATP20X10B is discontinued; the current-production ATE20X10 is the drop-in successor in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, and order the -S code if you need the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
