This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X150B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X150B 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 ACP32X150B
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X150B is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE32X150B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X150B
The ACP32X150B is a double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, with a 32 mm bore and a 150 mm stroke. Air drives the rod out and pulls it back, so no spring is involved. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 563 N and 483.8 N, with a theoretical ceiling of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The male rod thread (the B code) suits rod knuckles and tooling that screws on directly, and the 1/8" port sits on the hard-anodized aluminium body.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight jigs and guarded stations. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 241 N (roughly 24 kg of force) of usable work at 0.5 MPa, and expect it to lift about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end softens end-of-travel contact. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACE32X150, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X150B (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 ACE32X150B 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 ACP32X150B Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC pallets
The 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium brackets or plastic housings in machining fixtures, and the 150 mm stroke clears part loading without a long body.
Pusher on packaging conveyors
A short-body pusher that kicks cartons or trays off a line at up to 500 mm/s, fitting under low guards where a full-length profile cylinder will not.
Gate and slide actuation in test rigs
The male rod thread (B code) screws straight into a knuckle or tooling plate, making it easy to actuate sliding shields and gates on automated test benches.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X150B with the ACE32X150B
At 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore covers light clamping and sorting duties; step down to the 25 mm bore (245.4 N) for lighter loads or up to the 40 mm bore (628.3 N) when you need more margin. If the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve, because a plain cylinder of this type drifts. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this code has no magnet. Since ACP is discontinued, order the ACE32X150 and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X150B
- ✓ 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 ACP32X150B FAQ
Push is 402.1 N and pull is 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N; theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, 12 mm rod, 1/8" port, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s and a temperature range of -20 to +70 C. The model is discontinued and replaced by the ACE32X150.
The short ISO 21287-class aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the standard face. The magnet is not fitted on this code; order the -S version to get the optional -S magnet, which allows CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches for end-of-stroke sensing.
