This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X300S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X300S 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 ACP32X300S 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 ACE32X300S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ACP32X300S is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 32 mm bore and a 300 mm stroke, a hard-anodized aluminium body and an S45C hard-chrome rod. 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 peak of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body.
Its short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits long-stroke work inside tight guards and sliding gantries. Plan on roughly 241 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, and for vertical duty it lifts about 20 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note the 300 mm stroke exceeds the 200 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is made to order. This model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACE32X300, same bore, stroke and force class - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X300S (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 ACE32X300S 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).
With 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore ejects misaligned PET bottles or cartons from a conveyor lane, and the 300 mm stroke crosses a wide belt in one move.
The long made-to-order stroke opens and closes a product divert gate inside a compact guarding frame where a full-length profile cylinder would not fit.
Because the -S magnet is fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches report end-of-stroke on each 300 mm tray advance, letting the PLC confirm indexing before the next cycle.
Size both ways: a 25 mm bore gives 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 40 mm bore reaches 628.3 N - pick the 32 mm when your load sits between those. The 300 mm stroke is non-standard for this bore (200 mm max standard), so it is built to order. This unit carries the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings match the ISO 21287 face. A plain cylinder does not hold load when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held positions. Replacement: ACE32X300.
Replacement checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull; theoretical maximum 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting, 32 mm bore, 300 mm made-to-order stroke, 12 mm rod with female M8x1.25 thread, 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, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends.
Order ACE32X300, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same bore, stroke and force class in a short compact body. The 300 mm stroke remains a made-to-order item. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACP was built to the older DIN standard.
