This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE32X10 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE32X10 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 ATP32X10 is a single acting, pull (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ATE32X10 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP32X10 keeps its 12 mm rod extended by an internal spring and retracts it with compressed air at a 32 mm bore. Pull force is 296 N at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both already net of the spring, so at 0.5 MPa you can plan on roughly 178 N of real work after a sensible margin. The short ISO 21287 class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs and guarded stations. Note that this model is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is the ATE32X10.
Build details: hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, and a 1/8" port (port size follows the bore). It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), -20 to +70 C, speed 50-500 mm/s. The rod end is female M8x1.25. In vertical terms the 296 N pull lifts about 30 kg, or about 15 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. No magnet is fitted on this code; order the -S variant if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing, and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping to the ATE32X10.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE32X10 (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 | 296.0 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 434.2 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). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×10 | 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).
The spring holds the ejector pin proud of the mold face; 296 N of pull at 0.5 MPa retracts it in a 10 mm window before each shot, and a lost-air fault leaves the pin safely out.
The spring keeps the latch engaged and the guard locked; air at 0.2 MPa minimum pulls the 12 mm rod back 10 mm for access, and the latch re-engages automatically on power loss.
About 15 kg of vertical margin at 0.5 MPa is ample for lifting a light hold-down off a circuit board; the 10 mm stroke clears the fixture without eating bench space.
Size the job both ways: the 25 mm bore pulls 170.9 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 40 mm bore reaches 500.3 N, so the 32 mm at 296 N sits squarely in the middle for light clamping and retract tasks. Because the spring returns the rod to its extended home on air loss, this cylinder will not hold a mid-stroke position - pick a double acting ACP (now ACE) if you need to stop mid-travel. Mount it with FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis brackets, and add the optional -S magnet only if CMSE / DMSE switches are required. This ATP32X10 is discontinued; the ATE32X10 is the current replacement in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
Pull is 296 N at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring, so at least 0.2 MPa is needed just to beat the spring. A practical plan is about 178 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 30 kg vertically, or about 15 kg with a 2:1 margin. Stroke is 10 mm on a 32 mm bore with a 12 mm rod, female M8x1.25 rod thread, 1/8" port, speed 50-500 mm/s, pressure 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Order the ATE32X10: swap the P for an E and you get the current-production ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions, since the ATP was built to a DIN-standard compact format. On sensing: this ATP32X10 code has no magnet fitted, so no switch can be mounted; the optional -S version carries the magnet for CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches, and the same option exists on the ATE.
