This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X10SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X10SB 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 ACP32X10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X10SB 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 ACE32X10SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X10SB
The ACP32X10SB is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a short 10 mm stroke, built around a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body for end-of-stroke sensing. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 402.1 N and pulls with 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 563 N and 483.8 N, with a theoretical peak of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Because the short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this 10 mm stroke version slots into shallow clamping fixtures and sliding guards where a full-length body simply will not fit. As a working rule, plan on roughly 240 N (about 24 kg of vertical lift) of real work at 0.5 MPa instead of the full 402.1 N rating. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACE32X10, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X10SB (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 ACE32X10SB 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 ACP32X10SB Is Used
Small-part press fitting
The 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa seats bearings, bushings or dowel pins into aluminium housings on an electronics assembly bench, with the 10 mm stroke ideal for short press travel.
Position-confirmed sliding guard
With the fitted -S magnet and a DMSE switch, a packaging machine controller confirms the guard is fully closed before cycle start; the short body fits inside the guard frame.
Fixture clamp on a drilling jig
The male rod thread takes an I-type knuckle to swing a clamp arm over a machined workpiece, holding it through a drilling cycle at up to 500 mm/s approach speed.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X10SB with the ACE32X10SB
For a 10 mm stroke at this force level, the 32 mm bore is a sensible middle choice: a 25 mm bore delivers 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 40 mm gives 628.3 N if your clamp needs more margin. Remember that a plain cylinder of this type drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. The male rod thread (B code) and PT ports suit external knuckles, and the -S magnet already on this unit works with CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACE32X10 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X10SB
- ✓ 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 ACP32X10SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it delivers 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull; at 0.7 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull; theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, and -20 to +70 C temperature. For real work, budget about 240 N (roughly 24 kg vertical lift) rather than the full rating.
The short ISO 21287-class body cuts about 50% of the mounting length compared with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis brackets bolt straight to the mounting face. The -S magnet on this unit accepts CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches. The ACP family is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is the ACE32X10 (same bore, stroke and force class); confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before converting.
