This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X300B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X300B 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 ACP32X300B 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 ACE32X300B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ACP32X300B is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a made-to-order 300 mm stroke, which exceeds the 200 mm standard limit for this bore. It delivers 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa (563 N at 0.7 MPa), and the male rod thread from the B code suits tooling that clamps onto the rod. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits deep slots and sliding guards where a full-length body cannot reach.
Note this unit ships without a magnet: the optional -S code is what adds the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, so position feedback is only possible if you order it. The fixed TPU bumper at each end simply decelerates the piston and never holds a load when air drops, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held position. Plan on roughly 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. This model is discontinued; the current drop-in is ACE32X300, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X300B (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 ACE32X300B 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. |
| ×300 | 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 300 mm reach opens tall test-rack doors inside a narrow cabinet where a full-length ISO 15552 profile cylinder would not fit behind the rails.
402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa shoves misprinted cartons off a conveyor lane, and the male rod thread takes a custom pusher plate directly.
About 20 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin raises loaded sample trays between stations, with the -S magnet option enabling CMSE switch feedback.
At 32 mm bore you get 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa; step down to a 25 mm bore (245.4 N) for lighter clamping or up to a 40 mm bore (628.3 N) if the load is heavier. The 300 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length for this bore, so expect factory build time. Choose the B male rod thread for knuckles and fixtures, PT ports for standard air prep, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounts to match the frame. If you need sensors, order the -S magnet variant instead. For new projects, spec the ACE32X300 as the current-production replacement and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 563 N, and the theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is a double acting compact cylinder, 32 mm bore, 300 mm made-to-order stroke, 12 mm rod with male thread, 1/8" PT port, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating pressure, 30-500 mm/s speed, and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. The model is discontinued; ACE32X300 is the current replacement.
Sensors are only possible with the optional -S magnet code, which allows CMSE or DMSE switches; this version has no magnet fitted. The 300 mm stroke also exceeds the 200 mm standard limit for a 32 mm bore, so it is built to order. Since ACP is discontinued, confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and order the ACE32X300 instead.
