This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X175SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X175SB 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 ACP32X175SB

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X175SB
The ACP32X175SB is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 175 mm stroke, built around a hard-anodized aluminium body and an S45C hard-chrome rod. The S code fits the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body, and the B code gives a male rod thread. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, and rod speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
At 0.5 MPa this bore pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N, so a practical rule of thumb leaves roughly 241 N (about 24 kg) of usable working force after friction and margin. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACE32X175, same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X175SB (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 ACE32X175SB 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 ACP32X175SB Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC fixtures
The 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium brackets and small machined parts in milling jigs, with the 175 mm stroke clearing part loading space.
Packaging line push-off
At the end of a carton conveyor, the cylinder kicks misaligned boxes onto a reject chute, and the -S magnet with a DMSE switch confirms full retraction each cycle.
Press-fit of bushings
About 24 kg of practical vertical force at 0.5 MPa seats light bushings and dowels in small assemblies where a full-length body would not fit the frame.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X175SB with the ACE32X175SB
Size both ways before you commit: a 25 mm bore gives 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 40 mm bore raises it to 628.3 N, so the 32 mm sits in the middle for medium clamping and push loads. The 175 mm stroke is within the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. If the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve, because the piston will drift. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the same face, and the ACE32X175 is the current replacement for this discontinued model.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X175SB
- ✓ 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 ACP32X175SB 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 port is 1/8" (PT thread) because the bore is 32 mm, the rod is 12 mm with a male thread (B code), and speed is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air supply.
No, the ACP32X175SB is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is the ACE32X175, which swaps the P for an E and matches the same 32 mm bore, 175 mm stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 family. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard. The fixed TPU bumpers at both ends simply decelerate the piston at each end of travel.
