This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACE32X60B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACE32X60B 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 ACP32X60B
The AirTAC Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X60B is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE32X60B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X60B
The ACP32X60B is a double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, with a 32 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. Air drives the piston both ways: 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563 N and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The male rod thread from the B code bolts straight to I/Y knuckles, and the 1/8" port serves the 32 mm bore. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production successor is ACE32X60 in the ISO 21287 family.
Practically, plan on roughly 240 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rated push), which lifts around 24 kg vertically - halve that to about 12 kg for a 2:1 margin on real parts. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 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. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the same face. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE32X60B (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 ACE32X60B 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 ACP32X60B Is Used
Fixture clamping in CNC cells
The 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium brackets in milling fixtures, and the 60 mm stroke clears the part for loading. The male rod thread suits knuckle-joint clamps.
Carton push-off on packing lines
With about 24 kg of usable thrust at 0.5 MPa, the cylinder nudges filled cartons off a conveyor stop into a case, and the short body fits under low guard rails.
Slide actuation on small assembly stations
Bolted via an FB flange to a compact linear slide, the 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa retracts a pick-and-place arm between two stations within a 60 mm envelope.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP32X60B with the ACE32X60B
At 32 mm bore this sits mid-range: step down to the 25 mm bore (245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping, or up to 40 mm (628.3 N) when the load grows. The 60 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is a catalogue item. Because a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. This unit has no magnet - order the -S code if you later need CMSE or DMSE switch positions. For new builds, specify ACE32X60 and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE32X60B
- ✓ 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 ACP32X60B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it delivers 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull; at 0.7 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull; theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. For sizing, count on about 240 N of real work at 0.5 MPa - roughly 24 kg vertical lift, or about 12 kg with a 2:1 margin.
Order ACE32X60, the ISO 21287 successor with the same 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke and force class; confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping since the ACP was DIN-standard. This unit has no magnet fitted. On future orders, the optional -S code adds the magnet so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can sense position.
