This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X275SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X275SB 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 ACP32X275SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X275SB 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 ACE32X275SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X275SB
A double acting compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard short-body format, the ACP32X275SB pairs a 32 mm bore with a long 275 mm stroke and a male-threaded 12 mm rod. Air drives the piston both ways, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end of travel. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N, rising to 563 N on extension at 0.7 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body cuts mounting length by roughly half compared with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it suits tight gantries and sliding guards.
Because the S code is in the model number, the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped anywhere along the barrel for end-of-stroke signalling. For planning, treat about 241 N (0.6 of the push figure) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that the 275 mm stroke exceeds the 200 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is made to order, and the ACP family is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is ACE32X275, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X275SB (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 ACE32X275SB 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 ACP32X275SB Is Used
Pallet-stacker pusher arm
A 275 mm stroke pushing empty pallets off a conveyor lane: the 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clears a 20 kg pallet slide with margin, and the CMSE switch confirms full retract before the next cycle.
Fixture clamp on a CNC jig
Clamping aluminium extrusions into a machining jig where a full-length profile cylinder will not fit; the short ISO 21287-class body halves the mounting length and the male rod thread takes a knuckle directly.
Carton ejector on a case packer
Kicking formed cartons sideways off a packing table at 30-500 mm/s; the fixed TPU bumpers soften the ends of travel and the long made-to-order stroke covers the full lane width.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X275SB with the ACE32X275SB
Size the bore against the load: at 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore gives 402.1 N push, while a 25 mm bore manages only 245.4 N and a 40 mm bore reaches 628.3 N, so pick 32 mm when the load sits between those bands. If the application must hold position with the valve centred, add a rod lock or pilot check valve - a plain cylinder of this type drifts when air is lost. The male rod thread (B code) suits I/Y knuckles, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the same face. This model is discontinued; order ACE32X275 as the current equivalent and verify the ISO 21287 footprint first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X275SB
- ✓ 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 ACP32X275SB 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. It is double acting with a 32 mm bore, 275 mm made-to-order stroke, 12 mm male-threaded rod, 1/8" PT ports, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, and air filtered to 40 um.
No - the ACP family is discontinued. The current-production successor is ACE32X275, the ISO 21287 version in the same bore, stroke and force class. The -S magnet on this unit carries over as an option on the ACE, and CMSE / DMSE switches still fit. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACP was built to the older DIN-standard format.
