This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE100X5B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE100X5B 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 ATP100X5B
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP100X5B 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 ATE100X5B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP100X5B
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP100X5B keeps its 25 mm rod extended by spring and retracts it with air. At 0.5 MPa the pull is 3395.3 N net of the spring, rising to 4867.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and the minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa. The 5 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-release moves rather than long travel. Note that the ATP family is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ATE100X5, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight press fixtures and guarding where a full-length body will not. Plan for roughly 2037 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 173 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, the rod end is male thread (B code), and the port is 1/4".

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE100X5B (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 ATP100X5B Is Used
Press release on a stamping die
The spring holds the die clamp open and a 0.2 MPa air signal pulls the 25 mm rod back 5 mm to release a formed panel between strokes.
Gate retraction on a packaging machine
Air retracts the gate against the spring at up to 500 mm/s, and the fail-extended spring return clears the product path the moment air is lost.
Latch pull on an AGV docking station
The 3395.3 N net pull at 0.5 MPa retracts a heavy docking latch, and the short body tucks inside the vehicle's low-profile dock frame.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP100X5B with the ATE100X5B
Size against neighbours: the 80 mm bore pulls 2159.1 N at 0.5 MPa while this 100 mm bore delivers 3395.3 N, so step up only if your part weight or clamp force demands it. On air loss the spring returns the rod to its extended home position and will not hold a mid-stroke point, so design the fixture around that fail-extended behavior. Mounting brackets and the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches are ordered at the time of purchase; without the -S code there is no magnet. Order the ATE100X5 as the drop-in successor and verify the ISO 21287 footprint first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE100X5B
- ✓ 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 ATP100X5B FAQ
The pull is 3395.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 4867.9 N at 0.7 MPa, both already net of the return spring. The spring extends the rod and air retracts it, so at least 0.2 MPa (28-145 psi operating band) is needed to beat the spring. Speed range is 50-500 mm/s and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
No, the ATP family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is the ATE100X5, which keeps the same bore, stroke and force class in an ISO 21287 compact body. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, and add the -S code if you need the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
