This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ASE32X25S, the same code under the new prefix. 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 ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP32X25S is a single acting, push (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ASE32X25S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A single acting push cylinder with spring return, the ASP32X25S extends its 12 mm rod on air and retracts it with the built-in spring, so one air line is all the plumbing it needs. At the 32 mm bore it delivers 352.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa (513.4 N at 0.7 MPa), already net of the spring, and it needs at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring. The -S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is ASE32X25, same bore, stroke and force class.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight fixtures, guarding and slide assemblies. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the rod, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread plus 1/8" PT port keep integration simple. Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping from the DIN-standard original.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ASE32X25S (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 (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 352.5 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 513.4 N |
Single-acting push: air extends the rod; the return spring retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.
| ASP | DIN compact cylinder (single-acting push, spring-return, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×25 | 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 (double rod, adjustable stroke).
Clamps small aluminium brackets against a hardened stop on a drilling jig; 352.5 N at 0.5 MPa holds the part while the spring retracts the rod for fast part changeover.
The fitted magnet drives a CMSE switch that confirms full extension, so the PLC only releases a 25 mm kick-off stroke when the offload chute is truly clear.
Latches a guard interlock slide with one air line; the spring returns the latch home on power loss, a fail-safe default for machine safety circuits.
Size by force first: at 0.5 MPa this 32 mm bore pushes 352.5 N net of the spring; step down to a 25 mm bore (210.1 N) for lighter clamps or up to a 40 mm bore (556.8 N) when the load grows. Remember the spring returns the rod to the retracted home position on air loss - it will not hold a mid-stroke position or support a hanging load. The 25 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-release moves at 50-500 mm/s. This unit ships with the -S magnet fitted for CMSE / DMSE switches and a female M8x1.25 rod thread; FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounting can be specified. Since ASP is discontinued, order ASE32X25 as the direct successor and verify the ISO 21287 mounting pattern.
Replacement checklist
Net of the return spring it pushes 352.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 513.4 N at 0.7 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 50-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, and air filtered to 40 um. The bore is 32 mm, stroke 25 mm, rod 12 mm, port 1/8" PT, rod thread M8x1.25 female.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow fixtures and guarded spaces. This -S version carries the magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body for end-of-stroke detection. The model is discontinued; ASE32X25 is the current direct - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
