This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X125S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X125S 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 ACP32X125S

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X125S
The ACP32X125S is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 125 mm stroke, driven by air in both directions and fitted with fixed TPU bumpers at each end. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 402.1 N and pulls with 345.6 N, rising to 563 N on the extend stroke at 0.7 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s. 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 cannot.
Because the S code is in this model number, the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling. For sizing, treat about 241 N (roughly 0.6 of the push rating) as the usable force at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is the ACE32X125, a drop-in successor in 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 ACE32X125S (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 ACE32X125S 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 ACP32X125S Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC machining centres
With about 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore clamps aluminium brackets or small steel housings in dedicated jigs, and the 125 mm stroke clears part loading space.
Carton eject on packaging lines
The short body fits inside tight machine frames, pushing filled cartons off a conveyor lane at 30-500 mm/s, while the fitted -S magnet feeds end-of-stroke signals to the PLC via CMSE switches.
Small-part press-fit station
Bearings or bushings into plastic housings need modest, repeatable force: 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa covers the press, and the 125 mm stroke gives room for manual part placement.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X125S with the ACE32X125S
A 32 mm bore at 125 mm stroke suits clamping and pressing tasks in the 240 N working range at 0.5 MPa. Step down to a 25 mm bore (245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa) only for lighter loads, or up to a 40 mm bore (628.3 N push) when the work needs roughly 55% more force. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches are ready to mount; FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the standard face. If the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve - the bumper does not hold anything. Order the ACE32X125 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X125S
- ✓ 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 ACP32X125S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 563 N and pull 483.8 N; theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is a double acting compact cylinder, 32 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, 12 mm rod with female M8x1.25 thread, 1/8" PT ports, operating on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends.
Yes, this model is out of production. The current drop-in is the ACE32X125 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 family - confirm the mounting dimensions before swapping since the ACP was DIN-standard. Position feedback is straightforward on this unit because the -S magnet is fitted: mount CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches directly on the body.
