This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X10SH — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X10SH 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 ACP32X10SH
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X10SH 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 ACE32X10SH (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X10SH
The ACP32X10SH is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a short 10 mm stroke, built on a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. 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 peak of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures a full-length cylinder cannot reach.
The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted on this unit, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing. In practice, plan on roughly 240 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rating), which corresponds to lifting around 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACE32X10, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X10SH (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 ACE32X10SH 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 ACP32X10SH Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC jigs
A 10 mm stroke is ideal for swing-and-clamp brackets on milling fixtures, where the 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa holds aluminium parts against hard stops.
Packaging line push-off
Short-throw ejection of cartons or blisters from a conveyor, with CMSE switches on the fitted magnet confirming each push completed at 30-500 mm/s.
Lab press and sample indexing
Compact benchtop test rigs use the 32 mm bore to apply about 240 N of working force in a body short enough to fit under a guard.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X10SH with the ACE32X10SH
Size both ways before committing: a 25 mm bore gives 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 40 mm bore reaches 628.3 N, so the 32 mm sits mid-range for clamping and indexing loads near 240 N. A plain cylinder of this type drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the standard face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACE32X10 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X10SH
- ✓ 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 ACP32X10SH 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 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting, 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, 12 mm rod, 1/8" PT port, female M8x1.25 rod thread, air filtered to 40 um, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating pressure, 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, -20 to +70 C, speed 30-500 mm/s, fixed TPU bumper both ends.
Order the ACE32X10, the ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same bore, stroke and force class with a similarly short body, but because the ACP was DIN-standard you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The ACE keeps the same FA/FB, LB and CA/CB mounting family, and sensing is available when the -S magnet option is ordered with CMSE / DMSE switches.
