This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X10H — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X10H 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 ACP32X10H 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 ACE32X10H (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, the ACP32X10H delivers 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa on a 32 mm bore with a short 10 mm stroke. Its hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) clean air filtered to 40 um, at speeds of 30-500 mm/s and temperatures from -20 to +70 C. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends of the stroke.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight fixture plates and slide assemblies a full-length body cannot reach. At 0.5 MPa, plan on about 241 N (roughly 24 kg of thrust) as the usable working force rather than the full 402.1 N rating; vertically that corresponds to lifting about 12 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production successor is the ACE32X10, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X10H (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 ACE32X10H 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 jigs where the clamp block sits inside the fixture footprint.
With about 24 kg of usable thrust at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore pushes finished parts off a nest or chute on electronics assembly benches without a larger body.
The compact body fits under low guard rails on carton lines, and the 30-500 mm/s speed range matches conveyor pitch timing for nudging boxes into lanes.
For a 10 mm stroke at this force class, the 32 mm bore gives 402.1 N push / 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa; step down to the 25 mm bore (245.4 N push) if the load is lighter, or up to the 40 mm bore (628.3 N push) for heavier clamping. This unit has a female M8x1.25 rod thread and a 1/8" PT port; no magnet is fitted, so no CMSE or DMSE switch can be mounted - order the -S code if position sensing is needed. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Order the ACE32X10 instead, since ACP is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
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 maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is a double acting compact cylinder, 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, 12 mm rod with female M8x1.25 thread, 1/8" PT port, operating on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air at 30-500 mm/s, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. It is discontinued - the replacement is ACE32X10.
Not on this version: the magnet is the optional -S ordering code, and this model was ordered without it, so no CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switch can be detected. If you need sensing, order the -S variant or move to the ACE32X10, the current ISO 21287 successor in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the mounting dimensions against your fixture first.
