This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X150SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X150SB 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 ACP32X150SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X150SB 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 ACE32X150SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X150SB
The ACP32X150SB 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 in both directions, and fixed TPU bumpers at each end take the end-of-travel shock. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N, rising to 563 N on the extend stroke at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod keep the short build rigid, and the male rod thread (B code) suits knuckle and tooling attachments.
Because the ISO 21287-class short body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this unit slots into tight jigs, guarding and gantries where a full-length body will not reach. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped on for end-position sensing. Plan on about 241 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (roughly 60% of the rated push), which lifts about 24 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACE32X150, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X150SB (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 ACE32X150SB 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 ACP32X150SB Is Used
Compact jig clamping
The 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps steel brackets in drilling fixtures, and the short body fits inside the jig frame where a full-length cylinder cannot.
Conveyor diverting
A 150 mm stroke pushes cartons off a packaging line sorter, with CMSE or DMSE switches on the fitted -S magnet confirming extend and retract positions.
Small parts press fitting
Presses bushings into housings on an electronics assembly bench; the roughly 24 kg vertical-lift equivalent matches typical light press loads with margin.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X150SB with the ACE32X150SB
Size the bore both ways before committing: a 25 mm bore gives 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 40 mm bore reaches 628.3 N, so the 32 mm sits squarely between them at 402.1 N. The 150 mm stroke is within the 200 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the same face, and the ACE32X150 is the current replacement for this discontinued model.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X150SB
- ✓ 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 ACP32X150SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa the figures rise to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull. 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, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
Order ACE32X150, the ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke and force class with a similarly short body. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before the swap, and re-order the -S magnet code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.
