This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X125 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X125 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.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X125
The ACP32X125 is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 125 mm stroke, driving a 12 mm hard-chrome rod through a female M8x1.25 thread. Air extends and retracts the piston, delivering 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563 N at 0.7 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body with threaded aluminium covers keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body cannot. Air supply runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speeds of 30-500 mm/s and a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
Plan on about 240 N (roughly 24 kg) of usable push at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 402.1 N rating, which means this unit lifts about 24 kg vertically with a sensible margin. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production successor is the ACE32X125, an ISO 21287 drop-in in the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The magnet is not fitted on this code; order the -S variant if you need CMSE or DMSE switch sensing.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X125 (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 ACE32X125 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 ACP32X125 Is Used
Bench-top press fixture
A 32 mm bore pushing 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa gives about 24 kg of usable vertical force, enough for staking terminals or pressing light bushings in an electronics assembly cell.
Compact jig clamping
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting the 125 mm stroke fit inside a drill jig or weld fixture guard.
Packaging line ejector
With 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa on the 12 mm rod, the cylinder can retract a pusher arm that kicks misaligned cartons off a conveyor at up to 500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X125 with the ACE32X125
At 32 mm bore this size sits between the 25 mm (245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the 40 mm (628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa), so pick the ACP32X125 when your clamp or press load falls near 240 N of working force at 0.5 MPa. The 125 mm stroke is within the 200 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Choose the FA or FB flange for face mounting, LB feet for base fixing, or a CA/CB clevis for pivoting work, and add the -S code only if CMSE / DMSE position switches are required. Since the ACP is discontinued, order the ACE32X125 as the current ISO 21287 equivalent and verify mounting dimensions against your fixture.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X125
- ✓ 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 ACP32X125 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 pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C, and speed 30-500 mm/s. The rod is 12 mm with a female M8x1.25 thread and the port is 1/8" (PT).
No - the ACP family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is the ACE32X125, an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same 32 mm bore, 125 mm stroke and force class. Because the ACP was built to the DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping. Also remember a plain ACP or ACE does not hold a load when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve if you need position holding.
