This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ASE32X5B, 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.
Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP32X5B
The AirTAC ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP32X5B is a single acting, push (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 5mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ASE32X5B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP32X5B
A single acting push cylinder with spring return, the ASP32X5B extends its 12 mm rod on air and retracts on the built-in spring, so only one air line is needed. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 352.5 N of push (513.4 N at 0.7 MPa), already net of the spring, and it starts moving from just 0.2 MPa. The 5 mm stroke suits tiny eject, clamp or press-check moves where travel is measured in millimetres.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarded assemblies. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. Note: this model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ASE32X5, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ASE32X5B (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 (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.

Where the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP32X5B Is Used
Micro part ejection
A 5 mm stroke with 352.5 N at 0.5 MPa nudges small machined or moulded parts off a nest on an assembly line without disturbing the fixture.
Spring-retracted clamp
On a drill or press jig, air extends the plunger to clamp a steel bracket, and the spring retracts it instantly if air is lost, keeping the operator safe.
Presence confirm pin
A short push pin verifies a stamped housing is seated in its locating fixture before the next station cycles, retracting automatically between shots.
Replacing the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP32X5B with the ASE32X5B
Size against the 352.5 N push at 0.5 MPa for this 32 mm bore: the 25 mm bore gives 210.1 N if the load is lighter, while the 40 mm bore gives 556.8 N for heavier eject work. The male rod thread (B code) takes standard rod accessories directly. Because the spring returns the rod on air loss, the cylinder always parks retracted and will not hold a mid-stroke position. No magnet is fitted on this code, so position sensing is not possible; order the -S version if CMSE / DMSE switches are needed. Replace with the ASE32X5 for new projects.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ASE32X5B
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP32X5B FAQ
Push force is 352.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 513.4 N at 0.7 MPa, both already net of the return spring. Working pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and the minimum 0.2 MPa is what it takes to overcome the spring. Speed range is 50-500 mm/s, air must be filtered to 40 um, and the port is 1/8" PT on this 32 mm bore.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis options. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the rod. Sensors need the optional -S magnet code; this standard ASP32X5B has no magnet, so no CMSE or DMSE switch can be mounted. The model is discontinued - the ASE32X5 is the current direct successor.
