This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X175S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X175S 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 ACP32X175S
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X175S 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 ACE32X175S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X175S
A double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, the ACP32X175S pairs a 32 mm bore with a long 175 mm stroke and ships with the optional -S magnet already fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke detection. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 563 N and 483.8 N, with a theoretical ceiling of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits into tight jigs and guarded gantries where a full-length body will not.
In practice, plan for about 241 N (roughly 24.6 kgf) of usable push at 0.5 MPa instead of the full rating, which means this cylinder lifts about 20 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied - enough for small pallets, clamped panels or loaded slides. Construction is a hard-anodized aluminium body with threaded aluminium covers, an S45C hard-chrome rod on a female M8x1.25 thread, 1/8" PT ports and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACE32X175, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X175S (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 ACE32X175S 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 ACP32X175S Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC machining centres
The 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium housings or small steel brackets in dedicated jigs, and the 175 mm stroke clears part loading space that a short-stroke cylinder cannot.
Lifting small pallets in assembly cells
With about 20 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, it raises fixture pallets between an operator bench and a conveyor in electronics or appliance assembly.
Position-checked eject on packaging lines
Because the -S magnet is fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm full extension before the next carton is released, at cycle speeds up to 500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X175S with the ACE32X175S
Size it against neighbours: the 25 mm bore delivers 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa while the 40 mm bore reaches 628.3 N, so the 32 mm sits squarely in the mid range for clamping and lifting duties around 240 N of real work. The 175 mm stroke is within the 200 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the same face as the ACE successor. Because a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Order ACE32X175 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 hole patterns first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X175S
- ✓ 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 ACP32X175S 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. The model is discontinued, and the current drop-in is ACE32X175 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
The compact aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into guarded frames and tight fixtures. The S in the code means the optional magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped on for stroke-end signalling. The rod carries a female M8x1.25 thread and ports are 1/8" PT.
