This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X10 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X10 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.

The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X10 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE32X10 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ACP32X10 is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a short 10 mm stroke, built around a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 402.1 N and pulls with 345.6 N, rising to 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into cramped fixtures a full-length body cannot reach.
For real-world sizing, treat about 241 N (roughly 24 kgf) as the usable push at 0.5 MPa, and expect it to lift about 20 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACE32X10, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. Position feedback is possible only when the optional -S magnet is ordered, enabling CMSE / DMSE switches; this unit has no magnet fitted.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X10 (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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
The ACE32X10 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.
| ACP | DIN compact cylinder (double-acting, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×10 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (adjustable stroke).
A 10 mm stroke and 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to swing a small toggle clamp or hold an aluminium bracket during a drilling or riveting pass on a compact jig.
Short push-off of finished parts from a nest: about 241 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa clears lightweight plastic or stamped components without overdriving them.
The short body fits under low guarding, and the fixed TPU bumper decelerates the rod at both ends for repeatable top-pressing of flaps on small cartons.
At 32 mm bore this sits mid-range: a 25 mm bore gives 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while a 40 mm bore delivers 628.3 N when you need more muscle. The 10 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-release moves, and bore 32 accepts standard strokes up to 200 mm. Choose the B code for a male rod thread or stay with this female M8x1.25 version; FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts bolt straight on. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Order the ACE32X10 for new builds since the ACP line is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 563 N and 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, with a 1/8" port and female M8x1.25 rod thread.
No - the ACP family is discontinued. The current-production successor is the ACE32X10 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint, and order the -S magnet code on the ACE if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.
