This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE100X15SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE100X15SB 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.

The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP100X15SB 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 ATE100X15SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP100X15SB keeps its 25 mm rod extended by a spring and retracts it with air, delivering 3395.3 N at 0.5 MPa (4867.9 N at 0.7 MPa) net of the spring. The 100 mm bore feeds through a 1/4" port and needs at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke signals. Note that the ATP family is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ATE100X15.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight clamping stations and guarded assemblies. For sizing, treat about 2037 N (roughly 173 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin) as the realistic working pull at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the rod, and the male rod thread (B code) on the S45C hard-chrome rod bolts to standard knuckles. Confirm the ATE100X15 ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since this model follows the DIN-standard footprint.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE100X15SB (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 | 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.
| ATP | DIN compact cylinder (single-acting pull, spring-return, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 100 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×15 | 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 (adjustable stroke).
Spring holds the 25 mm rod retracted-free above a stamped bracket; air pulls it 15 mm clear at 3395.3 N so the part drops off the die on a 400 mm/s return.
On a CNC pallet changer the spring keeps the locking pin extended home; 0.5 MPa air retracts it in 15 mm before the pallet rotates, and a DMSE switch confirms the pulled position.
In an AGV battery bay the spring-extended hook secures the pack; the cylinder pulls it back with 3395.3 N net force, releasing on air loss to the extended fail-safe state.
At 100 mm bore this is the largest pull in the range: 3395.3 N at 0.5 MPa versus 2159.1 N for the 80 mm bore, so step down only if your load is under about 1300 N of real work. If 3395.3 N is marginal, no larger bore exists in ATP - move to the ATE100X15 or a double-acting ACE for more force. Strokes stay short on spring-return pull cylinders; 15 mm sits well inside the standard range for this bore. The male rod thread suits directly threaded tooling, and the -S magnet this model carries pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ATE100X15 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
It is a single acting pull cylinder: the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. Pull is 3395.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 4867.9 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring, with a minimum working pressure of 0.2 MPa. Plan on about 2037 N of usable pull at 0.5 MPa - roughly a 173 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Operating range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 50-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
Order the ATE100X15, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 100 mm bore, 15 mm stroke and force class in a short compact body. Because the ATP follows the DIN-standard format, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and the FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis interfaces before swapping. This unit's -S magnet carries over as an option on the ATE for CMSE / DMSE switch mounting.
