This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X175B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X175B 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 ACP32X175B
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X175B 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 ACE32X175B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X175B
The ACP32X175B is a double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, with a 32 mm bore and a 175 mm stroke that pushes with 402.1 N and pulls with 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa (563 N and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa). The B code gives a male rod thread on the 12 mm rod, and the 1/8" port feeds air filtered to 40 um over a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating range at speeds of 30-500 mm/s. Its hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod keeps the short ISO 21287-class footprint, which saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Plan on roughly 240 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push force), which corresponds to lifting about 24 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The fixed TPU bumper at each end only softens end-of-stroke contact - it never holds a load, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where position must be kept. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACE32X175, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X175B (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 ACE32X175B 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 ACP32X175B Is Used
Compact jig clamping
The 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps machined aluminium brackets in a short-body fixture where a full-length profile cylinder would not fit.
Packaging pusher arm
A 175 mm stroke with the male rod thread drives a pusher that diverts cartons between conveyor lanes at 30-500 mm/s.
Indexing slide on a small press
The 24 kg vertical-lift equivalent positions dies and stops on a benchtop press, with FA flange mounting holding the cylinder square to the slide.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X175B with the ACE32X175B
For a 175 mm stroke in this force class, the 32 mm bore delivers 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa; step down to a 25 mm bore (245.4 N) for lighter clamping or up to a 40 mm bore (628.3 N) if the load grows. The male rod thread (B code) suits rod knuckles and custom tooling, while FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the standard face. If you need switch feedback, order the -S variant with the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors - this plain ACP32X175B carries no magnet. This model is discontinued; the ACE32X175 is the current replacement, so verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X175B
- ✓ 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 ACP32X175B 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; theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a 32 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, 12 mm male-threaded 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.
Order the ACE32X175, the current-production ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same bore, stroke and force class and accepts FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounting, but because the ACP was DIN-standard you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap. If you need position sensing, the ACE takes the equivalent of the optional -S magnet with CMSE / DMSE switches.
