This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X300 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X300 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 ACP32X300
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X300 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 300mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE32X300 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X300
A double acting compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP pattern, the ACP32X300 pairs a 32 mm bore with a long 300 mm stroke and delivers 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (345.6 N on the pull stroke). The hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so even this long-stroke version fits tight machine frames and sliding guards. Note that 300 mm exceeds the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build.
At 0.5 MPa the push force works out to about 241 N of usable working effort if you plan on a 60% margin, which lifts roughly 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety factor. The fixed TPU bumper at each end only softens end-of-travel impact - it never holds a load, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where the rod must stay put if air is lost. This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACE32X300, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X300 (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 ACE32X300 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 ACP32X300 Is Used
Sliding guard interlock
The 300 mm stroke opens a full-width machine guard on a packaging line, with the short ISO 21287 body fitting inside a narrow guard channel where a full-length profile cylinder would not.
Carton push-off at case packers
402.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa sweeps finished cartons off a conveyor lane into a transfer chute, and the 60% working margin keeps cycle force stable at 30-500 mm/s.
Long-reach clamp on a welding jig
A 300 mm reach carries a clamp arm over deep fixture plates in an automotive jig, with the LB foot mounting holding the long body straight through the stroke.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X300 with the ACE32X300
Size the job both ways: 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 - pick the 32 mm when your load sits between those two with margin. The 300 mm stroke is above the 200 mm standard limit for this bore, so order it as a non-standard made-to-order unit. The female M8x1.25 rod thread takes standard I/Y knuckles, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the same face. If you need position feedback, order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S there is no magnet. For new designs, specify the ACE32X300 instead, as this ACP is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X300
- ✓ 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 ACP32X300 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 563 N and 483.8 N, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is a double acting 32 mm bore with a 300 mm stroke (non-standard, made to order), 12 mm rod, 1/8" PT port, female M8x1.25 rod thread, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating range, 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, -20 to +70 C, and 30-500 mm/s speed. The model is discontinued - the ACE32X300 is the current replacement.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287 format, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters on a 300 mm stroke where total length adds up quickly. The magnet is not fitted on this code - order the -S version to get the optional magnet, which then allows CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches for end-of-stroke signalling. Before switching to the ACE32X300, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
