This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X225S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X225S 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 ACP32X225S
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X225S is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 225mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE32X225S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X225S
The ACP32X225S is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 225 mm stroke, fitted with the optional -S magnet so CMSE / DMSE reed or 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 maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because the short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries where a full-length body simply will not fit.
A practical planning figure: treat about 0.6 of the push force as usable work, so around 241 N at 0.5 MPa - roughly 24 kg of vertical lift with a sensible margin. Note that the 225 mm stroke exceeds the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. The fixed TPU bumper at each end only decelerates the piston; it never locks or holds a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put when air is lost. This model is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is the ACE32X225, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X225S (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 ACE32X225S 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 ACP32X225S Is Used
Compact jig clamping
The 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium brackets in a drilling fixture, and the short body fits where a full-length cylinder cannot reach.
Position-verified ejection
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm the rod has fully extended before a PLC releases the next part on the line.
Carton push-off arm
The 225 mm stroke sweeps finished cartons off a conveyor lane, delivering about 24 kg of practical vertical-equivalent capacity at 0.5 MPa.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X225S with the ACE32X225S
Size both ways before committing: a 25 mm bore gives 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore raises it to 628.3 N - the 32 mm bore at 402.1 N sits between them. If your valve centres with the rod under load, remember the piston will drift; add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting brackets FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis bolt to the standard face, and this -S version already carries the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. The 225 mm stroke is non-standard for bore 32 (200 mm max standard), so order it as a made-to-order unit. Since ACP is discontinued, specify the ACE32X225 as the current replacement and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X225S
- ✓ 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 ACP32X225S 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; the theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 225 mm stroke exceeds the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for a 32 mm bore, so this unit is made to order. The model is discontinued and replaced by the ACE32X225.
This version already carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches mount directly on the body to signal end of stroke. The cylinder runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um, moves at 30-500 mm/s, and has a female M8x1.25 rod thread with a 1/8" port. For new builds, order the ACE32X225 and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
