This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X100B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X100B 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 ACP32X100B
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X100B 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 ACE32X100B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X100B
The ACP32X100B is a double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, with a 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke and a male rod thread (the B code). Air extends and retracts the 12 mm hard-chrome S45C rod, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-travel shock. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 563 N push. In practice, plan for roughly 241 N (about 24 kg of force) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating.
The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guarding and gantries. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ISO 21287 ACE32X100, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. Also, the piston drifts when air is lost, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X100B (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 ACE32X100B 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 ACP32X100B Is Used
Compact jig clamping
The short ISO 21287-class body fits inside dense drilling and welding jigs where a full-length profile cylinder will not, delivering 402.1 N of clamp force at 0.5 MPa over a 100 mm stroke.
Packaging pusher stations
With about 241 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore pushes cartons and trays off small conveyor lines at speeds from 30 to 500 mm/s.
Light part lift-and-lower
Lifts roughly 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, suiting small pallet nests and fixture risers; add a pilot check valve if the load must hold on air loss.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X100B with the ACE32X100B
Size around the load: if 402.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa is more than needed, the 25 mm bore (245.4 N) saves space; if you need more, step up to the 40 mm bore (628.3 N at 0.5 MPa). Vertically, this cylinder lifts about 20 kg with a 2:1 margin (41 kg theoretical at 0.5 MPa). The B code gives a male M8x1.25 rod thread; omit it for the female version. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - this unit has no magnet fitted. Order the ACE32X100 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X100B
- ✓ 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 ACP32X100B 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 with a 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 12 mm rod, 1/8" PT ports, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s and a temperature range of -20 to +70 C. Air must be filtered to 40 um.
Order the ACE32X100, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same bore, stroke and force class in a matching short body. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACP was built to a DIN standard. Mounting options (FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis) and the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches carry over to the ACE family.
