This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE12X10B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE12X10B 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 ATP12X10B
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP12X10B is a single acting, pull (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 10mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ATE12X10B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP12X10B
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP12X10B keeps its 6 mm rod extended by a spring and uses compressed air to retract it. At the 0.2 MPa minimum working pressure the spring is just overcome; at 0.5 MPa the net pull is 25.9 N and at 0.7 MPa it reaches 42.9 N, both already net of the spring. This model is discontinued, and the current-production replacement is the ATE12X10 in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The short ISO 21287-style body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim fixtures and small assemblies. With the 25.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, plan on about 15 N of real work (0.6 of the rating), which vertically lifts roughly 1 kg with margin. The B code gives a male rod thread, the port is M5x0.8, and no magnet is fitted - the optional -S code is what enables CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE12X10B (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 (Ø12mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 25.9 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 42.9 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 ATP12X10B Is Used
Micro part ejection
The 25.9 N net pull at 0.5 MPa retracts a pin that springs forward to push a 0.5 g connector housing off a small assembly nest.
Compact gate latch
Spring-extended rod holds a sliding guard latch closed; air retraction opens it, and the -S magnet option with a CMSE switch confirms latch state.
Sample probe lift
In a lab dosing head, the 10 mm stroke lifts a lightweight probe about 1 kg equivalent vertically, retracting on demand between sample wells.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP12X10B with the ATE12X10B
For 10 mm retraction work at this force level, 12 mm bore delivers 25.9 N at 0.5 MPa; step up to 16 mm bore for 53.3 N or drop to a double acting ACP-type unit if you need pushing force too. Remember the spring returns the rod to its extended home position on air loss and will not hold a mid-stroke position. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings carry over to the ATE12X10 replacement - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since this model is DIN-standard and discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE12X10B
- ✓ 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 ATP12X10B FAQ
Net of the return spring, pull is 25.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 42.9 N at 0.7 MPa. Operating 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. Bore is 12 mm, stroke 10 mm, rod 6 mm with a male thread (B code), port M5x0.8, and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
Order the ATE12X10, the current ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 12 mm bore, 10 mm stroke and force class in a short compact body. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, because the ATP was built to a DIN-standard footprint. If you need position sensing on the new unit, check the ATE magnet option for CMSE / DMSE switches.
