This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE63X20 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE63X20 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 ATP63X20
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP63X20 is a single acting, pull (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 20mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ATE63X20 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP63X20
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP63X20 uses a 63 mm bore to deliver 1320 N of pull at 0.5 MPa (1903.2 N at 0.7 MPa), both figures already net of the return spring. The spring holds the rod extended at rest, so the unit fails to the extended position on air loss, and at least 0.2 MPa of air pressure is needed to retract it against the spring. This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ATE63X20, which keeps the same bore, stroke and force class.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guarded assemblies. For sizing, plan on about 792 N (roughly 80 kg of pull force) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, and expect it to lift about 67 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, and the 16 mm S45C hard-chrome rod ends in a female M10x1.5 thread.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE63X20 (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 (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1320.0 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1903.2 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 ATP63X20 Is Used
Spring-extended clamping of machined housings
On a CNC fixture for aluminium gearbox housings, the spring keeps the clamp extended until air retracts the 63 mm rod to release the part - a fail-safe grip at 1320 N pull.
Bottle-line gate retraction
A bottling conveyor reject gate stays closed by spring force; a 0.2 MPa minimum air signal pulls the gate open for the 20 mm divert stroke at up to 500 mm/s.
Carton hold-down on a case sealer
The spring-extended rod presses a hold-down pad onto cartons entering a taping head, lifting about 67 kg equivalent vertically, then air retracts it for box discharge.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP63X20 with the ATE63X20
At 1320 N pull at 0.5 MPa this bore sits mid-range: step down to the 50 mm bore (775 N) for lighter clamping, or up to the 80 mm bore (2159.1 N) when the load grows. Remember the spring cannot hold a mid-stroke position - the rod goes home extended whenever air is lost. Order the -S code if you need the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; this plain ATP63X20 has no magnet. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the same face, and the ATE63X20 is the drop-in successor - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since this series is DIN-standard.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE63X20
- ✓ 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 ATP63X20 FAQ
This 63 mm bore single acting pull cylinder gives 1320 N of pull at 0.5 MPa and 1903.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. Working range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 50-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C. The rod is 16 mm with a female M10x1.5 thread and the port is 1/8" (PT).
Order the ATE63X20, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 63 mm bore, 20 mm stroke and force class in a short compact body. Check the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, because the ATP series follows the DIN-standard footprint. If you need position sensing, the ATE also accepts switches where the old unit required the optional -S magnet code.
