This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE32X15 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE32X15 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 ATP32X15 is a single acting, pull (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ATE32X15 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP32X15 keeps the rod extended by spring and retracts it with air, needing at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring. The 32 mm bore delivers 296 N of pull at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both already net of the return spring. Its short ISO 21287-style body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
Plan on about 178 N of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 296 N rating, which equals roughly 15 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, and the S45C hard-chrome rod ends in a female M8x1.25 thread. Note that no magnet is fitted on this code; the optional -S version adds one for CMSE / DMSE switches. This model is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is the ATE32X15, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE32X15 (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. |
| ×15 | 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).
Spring holds the clamp open and air pulls the rod to release a welded bracket in one 15 mm move, with 296 N of pull at 0.5 MPa clearing the fixture.
The spring keeps a small slide gate on a packaging line open, and the 32 mm bore pulls it shut against light product weight at up to 500 mm/s.
A 15 mm retraction flips a proximity flag on an assembly station; order the -S magnet version to add CMSE or DMSE end-position switches.
At 32 mm bore you get 296 N of spring-net pull at 0.5 MPa; step down to a 25 mm bore for 170.9 N or up to 40 mm for 500.3 N if the load demands more. The 15 mm stroke suits short retraction moves only, running at 50-500 mm/s on 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) air. If your fixture needs position sensing, order the -S code, since this base model has no magnet. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the same face. For new projects specify the ATE32X15 instead - this ATP is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
The 32 mm bore pulls 296 N at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both figures net of the return spring. Working range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, speed 50-500 mm/s and temperature -20 to +70 C. The spring extends the rod; air retracts it, and on air loss the rod returns to its extended home position without holding any mid-stroke point.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis options and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The rod is S45C hard-chrome with a female M8x1.25 thread and the port is 1/8" PT. This ATP is discontinued; the ATE32X15 is the current-production drop-in in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
