This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X125B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X125B 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 ACP32X125B
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X125B is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 125mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE32X125B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X125B
A double acting compact cylinder with a male rod thread, the ACP32X125B pairs a 32 mm bore with a 125 mm stroke and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N, rising to 563 N and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
For real-world sizing, treat about 241 N (roughly 24 kgf) as the usable push force at 0.5 MPa, and expect it to lift about 20 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 12 mm S45C hard-chrome rod, and the 1/8" port serves air filtered to 40 um across a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) range at 30-500 mm/s. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACE32X125, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X125B (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 ACE32X125B 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 ACP32X125B Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC jigs
The male rod thread takes an I/Y knuckle to swing a clamp arm over machined aluminium housings, with 402.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa holding the part square to the vee block.
Carton pusher on a packing line
A 125 mm stroke clears a 300 mm conveyor lane, nudging stacked cartons into a side lane at 30-500 mm/s between the fixed TPU bumpers.
Gate actuation inside a machine guard
The short body, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, swings a sheet-metal guard door inside a cramped injection-moulding cell.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X125B with the ACE32X125B
At 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm bore (245.4 N push) and the 40 mm bore (628.3 N push), so step down for lighter clamping or up when the load needs more headroom. The 125 mm stroke is within the 200 mm standard limit for this bore. Remember the rod drifts when air is lost - 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 same face, and CMSE / DMSE switches only work if you order the optional -S magnet code; this unit has no magnet. Order ACE32X125 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X125B
- ✓ 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 ACP32X125B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For sizing, count on roughly 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
Order ACE32X125: swap the P for an E and you get the current-production 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 before the swap. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis brackets are available for the ACE face.
