This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X120SBCB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X120SBCB 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 ACP32X120SBCB
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X120SBCB is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 120mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE32X120SBCB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X120SBCB
The ACP32X120SBCB is a double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, with a 32 mm bore, 120 mm stroke, male rod thread and CB clevis mounting. Its 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 body cannot. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 563 N push, with a theoretical 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke sensing. The fixed TPU bumper at each end only softens deceleration - it never holds a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve where position must be kept. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACE32X120, same bore, stroke and force class - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. In practice, plan on roughly 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X120SBCB (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 ACE32X120SBCB 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 ACP32X120SBCB Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC pallets
With 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore clamps aluminium housings on machining pallets, and the 120 mm stroke clears the load for loading.
Carton pusher on packing lines
The short body fits beside narrow conveyor frames, pushing cartons of roughly 20 kg vertical-equivalent weight between lanes at 30-500 mm/s.
Gate latch on AGV docking stations
The CB clevis lets the rod pivot as it latches AGV docking gates, with CMSE or DMSE switches confirming the locked position via the -S magnet.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X120SBCB with the ACE32X120SBCB
For a 120 mm stroke in this force band, the 32 mm bore gives 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your load is lighter, the 25 mm bore delivers 245.4 N at the same pressure; if you need more, step up to the 40 mm bore for 628.3 N. The male rod thread (B code) suits rod knuckles and external linkages, while the CB clevis handles pivoting motion. Add the -S magnet code if CMSE / DMSE switch sensing is needed. Since ACP is discontinued, order ACE32X120 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting footprint first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X120SBCB
- ✓ 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 ACP32X120SBCB 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 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
No - the ACP family is discontinued. Order ACE32X120 instead: swap the P for an E and you get the same 32 mm bore, 120 mm stroke and force class in the current ISO 21287 ACE series. Confirm the mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard.
