This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X10B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X10B 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 ACP32X10B 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 ACE32X10B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ACP32X10B is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a very short 10 mm stroke, driving a 12 mm rod through a male thread (the B code). 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. Air supply runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the body is hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome rod.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight clamping fixtures where a full-length body cannot. For sizing, treat roughly 240 N (about 24 kg of vertical lift) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 402.1 N rating. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends; it only decelerates the piston and never holds a load when air is lost. Note this model is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is ACE32X10, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X10B (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 ACE32X10B 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).
The 10 mm stroke and 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa suit quick clamp-and-release of aluminium brackets on machining fixtures where mounting space is under 100 mm.
With about 24 kg of usable vertical lift at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder kicks finished bushings off a locating pin on a bench-top assembly station.
The compact body fits beside the sealing bar of a semi-automatic carton sealer, nudging boxes onto the exit conveyor at 30-500 mm/s.
At 10 mm stroke this bore is aimed at short clamping and eject jobs. If 402.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa is more than you need, the 25 mm bore (245.4 N) saves space; if you need more, step up to the 40 mm bore at 628.3 N. The male rod thread (B) suits threaded rod accessories; the port is 1/8" PT. This unit has no magnet, so position switches cannot be fitted - order the -S code (ACP32X10BS) if you need CMSE or DMSE sensors. Mounting brackets FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis bolt to the same face. This model is discontinued; ACE32X10 is the current replacement in the same bore, stroke and force class - verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
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 pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, fluid air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C. Port is 1/8" PT and the rod is 12 mm with a male thread.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs and guards. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the standard face. The ACP32X10B is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACE32X10 with the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before you swap.
