This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE100X5SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE100X5SB 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 ATP100X5SB
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP100X5SB 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 ATE100X5SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP100X5SB
The ATP100X5SB is a single acting compact cylinder, spring-extend type: an internal spring pushes the rod out to its home position and compressed air retracts it. This 100 mm bore size delivers a net pull of 3395.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 4867.9 N at 0.7 MPa, already deducted for the return spring, so 0.2 MPa (28-145 psi working band) is the minimum to beat the spring. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and the S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the hard-anodized aluminium body.
Practical sizing: at 0.5 MPa plan on about 2037 N of real work rather than the full 3395.3 N rating, which corresponds to lifting roughly 173 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The 25 mm S45C hard-chrome rod carries that load through a male thread (B code) on a PT 1/4" port. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ATE100X5, which keeps the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE100X5SB (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 ATP100X5SB Is Used
Press-die safety interlock retraction
On a stamping press die cart, the spring holds a locking pin extended into the die shuttle; 3395.3 N of air pull at 0.5 MPa retracts the pin only while the press is safe to move.
Pallet-stacker gate latch
A warehouse forklift battery-change gate uses the spring-extended latch as the fail-safe default; the 100 mm bore pulls it back against gate spring load, and the -S magnet confirms latch-open to the PLC via a DMSE switch.
CNC fixture part-ejector kick
A short-stroke ejector on a machining-center fixture needs a hard 5 mm pop of a finished bushing off its locator - about 2037 N of usable pull at 0.5 MPa does it in a compact pocket where a full-length cylinder will not fit.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP100X5SB with the ATE100X5SB
Choose this bore when your clamp or return force sits between the 63 mm class (1320 N pull at 0.5 MPa) and the top of the range - the 100 mm gives 3395.3 N net at 0.5 MPa. If 1320 N is enough, the 63 mm saves space and air; if you need more, confirm from datasheet, as 100 mm is the largest bore in the series. The 5 mm stroke suits short retraction moves only; strokes up to 300 mm are standard for this bore. Because the spring returns the rod to the extended position on air loss, it will not hold a mid-stroke position - add a separate stop if you need one. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the same face, and the -S magnet on this unit accepts CMSE/DMSE switches. Order the ATE100X5 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE100X5SB
- ✓ 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 ATP100X5SB FAQ
It is a single acting pull, spring-extend cylinder: net pull is 3395.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 4867.9 N at 0.7 MPa, already deducted for the return spring. Working pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 50-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um. Port is 1/4" PT, rod is 25 mm with a male thread (B code), and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE/DMSE switches. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends.
Order the ATE100X5, the ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 100 mm bore, 5 mm stroke and force class in a short compact body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Because the ATP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping.
