This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE20X10SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE20X10SB 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 ATP20X10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP20X10SB 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 ATE20X10SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP20X10SB
A single acting pull cylinder of DIN-standard compact design, the ATP20X10SB keeps its rod extended by spring force and retracts it with compressed air, so it fails to the extended home position when air is lost. At 0.5 MPa the net pull is 88.1 N (135.2 N at 0.7 MPa), already after the return spring takes its share, and the minimum 0.2 MPa is what it takes to overcome the spring. The 10 mm stroke suits short clamp or release motions inside tight tooling where a full-length body simply has no room.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and this B-coded version carries a male rod thread for direct knuckle or fixture attachment. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signals. Note the ATP family is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ATE20X10, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a planning figure, treat about 53 N (roughly 4 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin) as the usable work load at 0.5 MPa.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE20X10SB (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 ATP20X10SB Is Used
Spring-extend fixture clamp
On a small CNC jig, the spring keeps the clamp arm engaged and the 88.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa retracts it only while air is supplied, so parts stay clamped through a power drop.
Signalled release slide
A 10 mm retraction on an electronics assembly head, with the fitted -S magnet driving a CMSE switch so the PLC confirms the rod is fully home before the next cycle.
Fail-safe gate latch
On a packaging machine guard, the normally extended rod holds a latch closed and air pulls it open for access, matching the 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) supply of the line.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP20X10SB with the ATE20X10SB
Size against the load: at 0.5 MPa the 20 mm bore pulls 88.1 N net of the spring, the 16 mm bore manages 53.3 N and the 25 mm bore reaches 170.9 N, so step up if your mechanism needs more than about 53 N of real work. The spring returns the rod to extended on air loss but will not hold a mid-stroke position, so add an external stop if intermediate positioning matters. This unit pairs the male rod thread with the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switching; foot, flange and clevis brackets are available in the mounting family. For new projects specify the ATE20X10, the current replacement in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE20X10SB
- ✓ 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 ATP20X10SB FAQ
Net of the return spring, the pull is 88.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 135.2 N at 0.7 MPa. Bore 20 mm, stroke 10 mm, rod 10 mm with a male thread, M5x0.8 port, operating pressure 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, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. The model is discontinued; the ATE20X10 is the current replacement.
The short-body build saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits slim slides and guarded fixtures. This S-coded unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly for end-of-stroke detection. Confirm the ISO 21287 dimensions of the ATE20X10 successor before converting existing tooling.
