This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X15B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X15B 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 ACP32X15B
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X15B 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 ACE32X15B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X15B
The ACP32X15B is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a short 15 mm stroke, driving a 12 mm hard-chromed S45C rod through a male thread (the B code). It pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563 N on the extend stroke at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body with threaded aluminium covers saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into shallow jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
For real-world sizing, plan on about 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (roughly 60% of the rated force), which vertically lifts about 20 kg with a 2:1 margin. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ISO 21287 ACE32X15, so confirm mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X15B (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 ACE32X15B 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 ACP32X15B Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC jigs
The 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium brackets or small steel housings in machining fixtures, and the 15 mm stroke suits quick-release clamps with minimal travel.
Short-stroke reject pusher
On a packaging line conveyor, the compact body kicks off-the-line cartons or caps sideways in 15 mm of travel, fitting between guard rails where a longer cylinder cannot.
Slide gate actuation
With 345.6 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, the male-thread rod retracts a small slide gate or chute diverter in a bottling plant, cycling at up to 500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X15B with the ACE32X15B
At 32 mm bore this sits mid-range: a 25 mm bore gives 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter clamping, while a 40 mm bore raises it to 628.3 N if your load needs more margin. The 15 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not made to order. This unit has no magnet, so position switches cannot be fitted; if you need end-of-stroke sensing with CMSE or DMSE switches, order the -S variant instead. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings are available. Because a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Order the ACE32X15 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X15B
- ✓ 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 ACP32X15B 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. The model is discontinued, and the current-production replacement is the ISO 21287 ACE32X15 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard.
It is a compact aluminium cylinder with threaded covers, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and a 1/8" port. The magnet is not fitted on this code; order the -S version to enable CMSE or DMSE switches. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the same face.
