This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X100S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X100S 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 ACP32X100S
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X100S 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 ACE32X100S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X100S
The ACP32X100S is a double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, with a 32 mm bore and a 100 mm stroke on a 12 mm rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 563 N and 483.8 N, with a theoretical ceiling of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/8" port depends only on the bore.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length cylinder cannot. Because this is the -S version, the optional magnet is fitted and CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body. The fixed TPU bumpers at each end only soften end-of-travel - they never hold a load, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the rod must stay put when air is lost. This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACE32X100, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X100S (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 ACE32X100S 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 ACP32X100S Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC pallets
With 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore clamps aluminium or plastic workpieces in machining fixtures, and the short body fits inside the pallet footprint.
Push-off at packaging stations
The 100 mm stroke sweeps cartons or trays off a conveyor lane, and the fitted -S magnet with a CMSE switch confirms extend and retract positions to the PLC.
Sample handling in lab automation
Compact 32 mm bore actuation lifts or indexes sample trays in compact analyser frames, where the short body saves about 50% of the length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X100S with the ACE32X100S
Size the load against 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa: plan on roughly 240 N of real work, which is about 24 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. If your load sits near that ceiling, step up to the 40 mm bore (628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa); if it is light, the 25 mm bore (245.4 N) saves space and air. The 100 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm standard limit for bore 32, so no made-to-order build is needed. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts plus the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches let you match existing fixtures. Order ACE32X100 instead - this ACP model is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X100S
- ✓ 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 ACP32X100S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 563 N and pulls 483.8 N; the theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C. The rod is 12 mm with a female M8x1.25 thread and the port is 1/8". For real work, plan on about 240 N, roughly 24 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
Order ACE32X100, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to the older DIN standard. The ACE keeps the same FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounting family, and the -S magnet option for CMSE / DMSE switches carries over.
