This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X15S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X15S 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.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X15S
The ACP32X15S is a double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, with a 32 mm bore and a short 15 mm stroke. It delivers 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod run on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body.
This short-body format saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs, guarding and gantry axes. For sizing, treat roughly 241 N (about 60% of the push rating) as the usable force at 0.5 MPa, and expect it to lift about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ISO 21287 ACE32X15 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP follows the DIN standard.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X15S (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 ACE32X15S 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 ACP32X15S Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC milling tables
The 15 mm stroke and 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa are a good match for swing-or-clamp jigs that hold aluminium brackets during a 3-axis milling cycle, where the short body fits under the fixture plate.
Position-checked gate on a packaging line
Because the -S magnet is fitted, a CMSE switch on the body confirms the gate is fully retracted before the carton pusher fires, keeping the reject chute sequence locked to the PLC.
Small-part ejection from an injection mold
A 32 mm bore gives enough thrust to eject thin ABS housings from shallow cavities, and the compact body slots into mold space that a full-length profile cylinder cannot occupy.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X15S with the ACE32X15S
At 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm bore (245.4 N push) and the 40 mm bore (628.3 N push), so step up to 40 mm if your clamping or pressing job needs more margin. The 15 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalog item, not a made-to-order build. Remember that a plain cylinder of this type drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the same face, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread accepts standard I/Y knuckles. Order the ACE32X15 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 footprint first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X15S
- ✓ 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 ACP32X15S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 402.1 N and pulls with 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull, and the theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is 1/8" (PT thread on this version), the rod is 12 mm with a female M8x1.25 thread, and the operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
Order the ACE32X15, the ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches this model's 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke and force class, and the FA/FB, LB and CA/CB mounting family carries over. Because the ACP was built to the DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping. The ACE also accepts the same CMSE / DMSE switches when the optional -S magnet is ordered.
