This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X275 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X275 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.

The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X275 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 275mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE32X275 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ACP32X275 is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 275 mm stroke, driving a 12 mm hard-chromed S45C rod through a female M8x1.25 thread. 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 peak of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding where a full-length body cannot.
Because the 275 mm stroke exceeds the 200 mm standard limit for a 32 mm bore, this unit is made to order. Plan on roughly 240 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting about 24 kg vertically, or about 12 kg with a 2:1 margin. The fixed TPU bumpers at each end only soften end-of-stroke contact; they never hold a load, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the rod must stay put when air is lost. This model is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is the ACE32X275, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X275 (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.
| 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 ACE32X275 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.
| ACP | DIN compact cylinder (double-acting, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×275 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (adjustable stroke).
The 275 mm stroke reaches deep into a welding fixture to swing a clamp arm clear, with 402.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa holding the part during a spot-weld cycle.
Mounted under a packaging conveyor, the compact body fits in the guard envelope while the rod ejects cartons sideways at up to 500 mm/s.
A 24 kg vertical lift rating at 0.5 MPa raises a gravity-chute gate on a bottling line; fit a pilot check valve so the gate cannot drift when air is lost.
Size both ways: if 402.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 25 mm bore delivers 245.4 N; if the load needs more, step up to the 40 mm bore at 628.3 N. The 275 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length for this bore. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis, and the optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S there is no magnet and no sensing. This model is discontinued; order the ACE32X275 as the current ISO 21287 replacement and verify mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
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. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, -20 to +70 C, and speed 30-500 mm/s. The 275 mm stroke is made to order, since the 32 mm bore tops out at 200 mm as a standard length.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis options, plus I/Y rod knuckles on the female M8x1.25 thread. Air is supplied through a 1/8" port. The ACP32X275 is discontinued; the current-production successor is the ACE32X275 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
