This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X100 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X100 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 ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X100
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X100 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE32X100 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X100
The ACP32X100 is a double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP family, with a 32 mm bore and 100 mm stroke driving a 12 mm hard-chrome S45C rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N, and at 0.7 MPa those rise to 563 N and 483.8 N. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits cramped jigs and guarding where a full-length body cannot. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACE32X100.
For real-world sizing, plan on about 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - enough for small pallets, clamp arms or gate leaves. The fixed TPU bumpers at each end only soften end-of-stroke contact; they never hold a load, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the rod must stay put when air is lost. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches, and FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the same face family as the ACE successor.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X100 (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 (Ø32mm)
| 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 ACE32X100 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X100 Is Used
Pneumatic press jig for small aluminium brackets
A 100 mm stroke gives the travel to clear the part and seat it, while 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa presses light brackets without a full-size press body in the fixture.
Push-off diverter on a packaging conveyor
The short body tucks under guarding, and about 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa slides cartons off the line at speeds up to 500 mm/s.
Slide clamp on a CNC fixture plate
FA flange mounting plus the 12 mm rod handles repetitive clamp cycles, and the optional -S magnet with a DMSE switch confirms clamp position to the controller.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X100 with the ACE32X100
At 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore sits mid-range: step down to a 25 mm bore (245.4 N) for lighter clamping, or up to a 40 mm bore (628.3 N) when the load grows. The 100 mm stroke is within the 200 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Order the -S code only if you need the magnet for CMSE / DMSE position sensing; without it no switch can be fitted. Female M8x1.25 rod thread and PT ports are standard. Since ACP is discontinued, specify ACE32X100 and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X100
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X100 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull; theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting, 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 12 mm rod, 1/8" PT ports, female M8x1.25 rod thread, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends.
Order the ACE32X100, the ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same bore, stroke and force class and drops into the same mounting family (FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis). Because the ACP was DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before the swap. If you need position sensing, check that the ACE variant you order carries the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
