This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X25SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X25SB 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 ACP32X25SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X25SB is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE32X25SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X25SB
The ACP32X25SB is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 25 mm stroke, male rod thread (B code) and the optional -S magnet fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the hard-anodized aluminium body. 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. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits so well inside tight jigs, guards and gantry frames.
For real-world sizing, treat about 240 N (roughly 24 kgf) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa instead of the full 402.1 N rating, and expect the rod to lift about 20 kg vertically - halve that to 10 kg if you want a 2:1 margin on a lifting fixture. Both ends carry a fixed TPU bumper, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the S45C hard-chrome rod takes a male external thread for direct nut fixing. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACE32X25 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X25SB (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 ACE32X25SB 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 ACP32X25SB Is Used
Compact jig clamping
The 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps steel brackets in a drilling jig, and the 25 mm stroke keeps the fixture footprint minimal inside a guarded cell.
Position-verified ejector
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm extend and retract on a small parts-ejector station running at 30-500 mm/s.
Light vertical press
A 10 kg vertical pressing or staking task with a 2:1 margin matches the rod's lift capability, using the male thread to carry a threaded press pad.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X25SB with the ACE32X25SB
At 32 mm bore this sits mid-range: a 25 mm bore delivers 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while a 40 mm bore gives 628.3 N when you need more thrust without changing the port size - both use the same 1/8" port as this model. Remember that a plain cylinder of this type does not hold position when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. The male rod thread (B) suits externally threaded fixings, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the same face family. Since ACP32X25SB is discontinued, order ACE32X25 as the current equivalent and verify the ISO 21287 footprint first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X25SB
- ✓ 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 ACP32X25SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa the push is 563 N and the pull 483.8 N. The 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 the fixed TPU bumpers at each end simply decelerate the piston - they do not hold or brake a load.
No - the ACP family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is ACE32X25, the ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same 32 mm bore, 25 mm stroke and force class. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts plus I/Y rod knuckles fit the same face family. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP follows the older DIN-standard layout.
