This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X15 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X15 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 ACP32X15
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X15 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE32X15 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X15
The ACP32X15 is a double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, with a 32 mm bore and a short 15 mm stroke. Air drives the piston both ways, and fixed TPU bumpers at each end take the end-of-stroke shock. 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, with a theoretical ceiling of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod keep it light and wear-resistant, and the 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 cylinder cannot. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACE32X15.
For sizing, plan on about 241 N (roughly 24 kgf) of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - enough for a small fixture plate or a light parts clamp. The rod end is female M8x1.25 and the air port is 1/8". A magnet is not fitted on this code; order the -S variant if you need CMSE or DMSE switches for end-of-stroke sensing. Before swapping to the ACE32X15, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X15 (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 ACE32X15 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 ACP32X15 Is Used
Short-stroke clamping
Clamps a machined aluminium bracket in a drilling fixture; the 15 mm stroke closes fast and the 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa holds the part firmly.
Compact ejection
Ejects finished plastic caps from a shallow mold pocket on a packaging line, where the short body fits inside the tool plate.
Parts deflecting
Kicks small boxes off a conveyor lane in a sorting station; the compact body mounts between guard rails with an FB flange.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X15 with the ACE32X15
Pick the ACP32X15 when a 15 mm stroke and about 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa cover the job - for example a short clamp or eject move. If you need more force, the 40 mm bore delivers 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need less, the 25 mm bore gives 245.4 N. Remember a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE sensing. Since this model is discontinued, order the ACE32X15 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 hole patterns first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X15
- ✓ 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 ACP32X15 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 proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed range 30-500 mm/s, and air filtered to 40 um. It is double acting, so air extends and retracts the rod.
Order the ACE32X15, the current ISO 21287 replacement: swap the P for an E and you get the same 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. The ACE keeps the FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounting family, and the optional -S magnet supports CMSE / DMSE switches. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard.
