This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE32X10B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE32X10B 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 ATP32X10B 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 ATE32X10B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP32X10B keeps its rod extended at rest and uses compressed air to retract it. This 32 mm bore size delivers 296 N of pull at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both figures already net of the return spring, so what you see is what the rod actually works with. Air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) drives it, with a proof rating of 1.5 MPa (215 psi) and a speed band of 50-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs and guarded stations where a full-length body will not fit. Because the spring pulls the rod home on air loss, the cylinder always fails to its extended position - it will not hold a mid-stroke setting. For sizing, treat about 178 N (roughly 0.6 of the 296 N rating) as the realistic working pull at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting about 15 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that this model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ATE32X10, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE32X10B (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).
On a CNC milling fixture, the spring-extended rod holds a swing clamp open and air retracts it to lock the aluminium workpiece - the 296 N pull at 0.5 MPa is ample for a 10 mm retraction move.
A packaging line uses the cylinder to pull a small diverter gate out of a carton path; on air loss the spring restores the gate to its open home position, a fail-safe posture for jam clearing.
In an electronics assembly press, the rod retracts a locating pin during the press cycle and the spring pushes it back out; with the optional -S magnet and a DMSE switch, the retracted state is confirmed to the PLC.
Size by net pull, not bore alone: at 0.5 MPa this 32 mm bore gives 296 N, while the smaller 25 mm bore offers 170.9 N and the larger 40 mm bore reaches 500.3 N under the same pressure. Pick the 32 mm when your retraction task sits between those two. The 10 mm stroke is well within the standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order stroke is needed. The B code gives a male rod thread on the 12 mm rod; the port is 1/8". This unit carries no magnet, so position switches cannot be fitted - order the -S variant if you need CMSE or DMSE sensing. Mounting brackets from the FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis family bolt to the standard face. Since the ATP is discontinued, plan the swap to the ATE32X10 and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
At 0.5 MPa the rod pulls with 296 N, rising to 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa - both net of the return spring. Working pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, and at least 0.2 MPa is needed to overcome the spring. The 12 mm rod has a male thread (B code), the port is 1/8", speed runs 50-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper decelerates the rod at each end. The model is discontinued; the ATE32X10 is the current replacement.
Not on this version. The ATP32X10B code has no S, meaning no magnet is fitted, so no switch can be mounted. To sense rod position, order the -S variant and pair it with AirTAC CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches. Also note the spring returns the rod to its extended home on air loss rather than holding a mid-stroke position, and since the ATP is discontinued, the ATE32X10 with the same optional magnet scheme is the long-term choice.
