This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE100X15B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE100X15B 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 ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP100X15B
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP100X15B is a single acting, pull (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 15mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ATE100X15B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP100X15B
This is a single acting pull cylinder of DIN-standard compact design: an internal spring holds the rod extended and compressed air retracts it, so the ATP100X15B fails to its extended home position whenever air is lost. The 100 mm bore delivers 3395.3 N of pull at 0.5 MPa and 4867.9 N at 0.7 MPa, both already net of the return spring, and it needs at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring. In practice, budget roughly 2037 N (about 207 kgf) of that 0.5 MPa figure for real work, which lets you size clamping or pressing loads without overrating the cylinder.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into dense press fixtures and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 25 mm S45C hard-chrome rod with a male thread (the B code), and the air port is 1/4" PT. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ATE100X15, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. No magnet is fitted on this code, so position switches cannot be used; order the -S variant if you need CMSE / DMSE sensing.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE100X15B (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 (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3395.3 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 4867.9 N |
Single-acting pull: the spring extends the rod; air retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.

Where the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP100X15B Is Used
Bench press retract stroke
The 3395.3 N pull at 0.5 MPa retracts a pressing ram or clamp wedge in a compact fixture, with the spring extending the tool clear when air drops.
Gate pull on packaging machinery
A 15 mm stroke is enough to snap a sliding gate or divertor shut; the normally-extended spring position gives a defined fail-safe state.
Fixture release in machining cells
Air pressure pulls a latch or locator out of the way inside a tight jig where a full-length profile cylinder will not fit.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP100X15B with the ATE100X15B
Size against neighbours: a 80 mm bore pulls 2159.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is not possible within this family, so if 3395.3 N is marginal at 0.5 MPa, raise supply toward 0.7 MPa for 4867.9 N. Remember the spring returns the rod on air loss and will not hold a mid-stroke position. Mounting brackets in the FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis range bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches. For new builds, specify the ATE100X15 instead, since this ATP code is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE100X15B
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP100X15B FAQ
Pull force is 3395.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 4867.9 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. The spring extends the rod and air retracts it, so 0.2 MPa minimum is needed to move the rod at all. Operating range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 50-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, fluid air filtered to 40 um. On air loss the spring returns the rod to extended; it does not hold a mid-stroke position.
The short-body build saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and each end of travel is limited by a fixed TPU bumper that simply decelerates the moving parts. It is not an adjustable device and never locks or brakes a load. The 100 mm bore uses a 1/4" PT port and a 25 mm male-threaded rod, and the discontinued ATP100X15B is replaced by the ATE100X15 - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
