This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X30S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X30S 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 ACP32X30S
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X30S 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 ACE32X30S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X30S
The ACP32X30S 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 (rising to 563 N at 0.7 MPa). The -S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto the hard-anodized aluminium body for end-of-stroke signalling. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread accepts standard I/Y knuckles.
Because the short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into tight fixtures, slides and guarding where a full-length body will not go. For sizing, treat about 240 N (0.6 of the 402.1 N push) as the realistic working force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 24 kg vertically - halve that to about 12 kg if you want a 2:1 margin against a real part weight. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACE32X30, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X30S (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 ACE32X30S 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 ACP32X30S Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC pallets
The 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium or plastic workpieces in machining fixtures, and the 30 mm stroke keeps the envelope inside tight pallet space.
Pick-and-place with position feedback
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm extend and retract on small robotic gripper arms handling electronics trays.
Bench-top press and marking station
About 24 kg of vertical force equivalent suits light pressing, staking and ink-marking of small brackets and nameplates at 30-500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X30S with the ACE32X30S
At 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull (0.5 MPa), the 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm bore (245.4 N push) and the 40 mm bore (628.3 N push), so step up only if your load exceeds about 240 N of usable force. The 30 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches work out of the box; FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the same face. Remember the rod drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold a load. Replacement: ACE32X30.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X30S
- ✓ 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 ACP32X30S FAQ
Push is 402.1 N and pull 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push reaches 563 N and pull 483.8 N, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a 12 mm rod, 1/8" port (PT), female M8x1.25 rod thread, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s and a temperature range of -20 to +70 C. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends only softens end-of-travel - it never holds or brakes a load.
Order ACE32X30, the current-production ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke and force class with a similarly short body, and the FA/FB, LB, CA/CB mounting family carries over. Because the ACP was built to a DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping.
