This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE100X5 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE100X5 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 ATP100X5
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP100X5 is a single acting, pull (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 5mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ATE100X5 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP100X5
A single acting pull cylinder, the ATP100X5 uses an internal spring to hold the rod extended and compressed air to retract it over a 5 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa the net pull is 3395.3 N, rising to 4867.9 N at 0.7 MPa, both figures already after the spring has taken its share. The 100 mm bore needs at least 0.2 MPa of air to overcome the spring, and the 1/4" port feeds a body that runs 50-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters when a heavy clamp has to sit inside a guard or weld fixture. Practical sizing: treat roughly 2037 N (about 203 kg of force) as the usable working pull at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift about 173 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ATE100X5, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE100X5 (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 ATP100X5 Is Used
Press die clamp release
Retracts a heavy die clamp hook 5 mm inside a stamping press so the die can roll out; the spring keeps the clamp engaged whenever air is lost.
Weld fixture part eject
Kicks a welded bracket off its locating pin in a fixture where only 5 mm of travel fits between the clamp arm and the frame.
Case gate retraction
Pulls a heavy gate plate 5 mm clear of a carton lane on a packaging line, spring-extending to block the lane during an e-stop.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP100X5 with the ATE100X5
For a 5 mm retraction stroke at this force level, the 100 mm bore delivers 3395.3 N at 0.5 MPa; step down to an 80 mm bore (2159.1 N) if the load is lighter, or move to a double-acting ACP/ACE if you need powered extension as well. The spring returns the rod to its extended home on air loss and will not hold a mid-stroke position. This unit has no magnet fitted; order the -S code if you later need CMSE or DMSE switches. Replacement: ATE100X5.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE100X5
- ✓ 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 ATP100X5 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the net pull is 3395.3 N and at 0.7 MPa it is 4867.9 N, both already net of the return spring. Air retracts the rod; the spring extends it, so at least 0.2 MPa is needed to move the rod at all. 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.
No, the ATP family is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is the ATE100X5, the same 100 mm bore, 5 mm stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 series. Because the ATP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis options carry over in the ATE family.
