This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X30 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X30 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 ACP32X30
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X30 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE32X30 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X30
The ACP32X30 is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 30 mm stroke, delivering 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa (563 N push at 0.7 MPa). Its hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod run at 30-500 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
For sizing, plan on about 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (roughly 60% of the rating), which corresponds to lifting about 24 kg vertically - halve that to about 12 kg if you want a 2:1 margin on a real part weight. The rod end carries a female M8x1.25 thread and the port is 1/8". Note this model is discontinued: the current-production successor is the ACE32X30, a drop-in in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X30 (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 ACE32X30 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 ACP32X30 Is Used
Small fixture clamping
Clamps machined aluminium brackets in a CNC drilling fixture, where the 30 mm stroke and about 241 N of working push at 0.5 MPa hold the part without deforming it.
Packaging line pusher
Kicks cartons sideways on a food-packaging conveyor; the short body fits under the guard rail where a full-length profile cylinder would overhang the frame.
Slide actuation on assembly stations
Drives a small pneumatic slide that indexes connector housings on an electronics assembly bench, with the female M8x1.25 rod thread taking a standard knuckle.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X30 with the ACE32X30
At 32 mm bore this size sits between the 25 mm (245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa) and 40 mm (628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) versions, so step up a bore if your clamp or press needs over about 240 N of working force. The 30 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order build. If you need position feedback, order the -S variant with the optional magnet so CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted - the plain ACP32X30 has no magnet. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the standard face. Since ACP is discontinued, specify the ACE32X30 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting pattern first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X30
- ✓ 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 ACP32X30 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. In practice plan on about 241 N of working push at 0.5 MPa, equivalent to lifting about 24 kg vertically, or about 12 kg with a 2:1 margin.
No - the ACP family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is the ACE32X30 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class with a matching short body and mounting family. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard. Also note the plain ACP32X30 has no magnet; the optional -S code enables CMSE / DMSE switches.
