This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X175 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X175 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.

The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X175 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 175mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE32X175 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Double acting and DIN-standard compact, the ACP32X175 pushes with 402.1 N and pulls with 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563 N at 0.7 MPa. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 175 mm stroke still fits shallow jigs and sliding guards. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speed from 30-500 mm/s.
This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACE32X175, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The body is hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome rod and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. In practice, plan for about 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without it there is no magnet.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X175 (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.
| 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 ACE32X175 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.
| ACP | DIN compact cylinder (double-acting, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×175 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (adjustable stroke).
About 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium brackets in machining fixtures, and the short body fits inside the pallet footprint.
The 175 mm stroke kicks cartons off a conveyor between stops, with the fixed TPU bumper softening the end-of-stroke contact at up to 500 mm/s.
Compact 32 mm bore actuation latches sliding doors on test racks, where the short ISO 21287-class body clears cable trays and guards.
At 32 mm bore the ACP32X175 sits mid-range: a 25 mm bore gives 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa if the load is lighter, while a 40 mm bore reaches 628.3 N for heavier clamping. If the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve - the piston drifts on its own. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings plus M8x1.25 female rod thread suit standard fixtures; order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE position switches. Buy ACE32X175 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
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. Theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
Order ACE32X175, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 32 mm bore, 175 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap, since the ACP was built to a DIN standard, and remember the magnet is only present when the -S code is ordered.
