This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE32X15SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE32X15SB 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 ATP32X15SB
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP32X15SB 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 ATE32X15SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP32X15SB
The ATP32X15SB is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return: the internal spring extends the rod and compressed air retracts it, so the rod sits normally extended and fails to the extended position on air loss. With a 32 mm bore it pulls 296 N at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both figures already net of the return spring, and it needs at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring. This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ATE32X15, which matches 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 tight fixtures, guards and gantries. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke detection. The B code gives a male rod thread on the 12 mm rod, with a 1/8" air port. For sizing, plan on about 178 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 15 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE32X15SB (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 (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP32X15SB Is Used
Spring-extended clamp on a CNC fixture
The spring keeps the clamp engaged on a machined aluminium bracket even if plant air drops, while 296 N of air pull at 0.5 MPa retracts it for loading - about 178 N of reliable work force.
Fail-safe gate return on a packaging line
A 15 mm stroke is enough to swing a small divert gate clear; on air loss the spring snaps the gate back to its extended home position, and the fitted -S magnet drives a DMSE switch to confirm retraction.
Retract pin in an electronics test jig
The male rod thread bolts straight to a lift-and-lower pin that must stay up when power fails; the 32 mm bore pulls 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, comfortably clearing a 15 kg spring-loaded fixture plate.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP32X15SB with the ATE32X15SB
Size both ways before ordering: the 25 mm bore pulls 170.9 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 40 mm bore pulls 500.3 N, so the 32 mm at 296 N sits mid-range for clamping and retracting tasks. Remember the spring only returns the rod to its extended home position - it does not hold a mid-stroke position on air loss. The FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounting family plus the male rod thread suit standard fixtures, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Since this model is discontinued, order the ATE32X15 and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE32X15SB
- ✓ 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 ATP32X15SB FAQ
It is a single acting pull cylinder: the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. Pull is 296 N at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa (28-145 psi overall range, 1.5 MPa / 215 psi proof). Speed is 50-500 mm/s. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 178 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 15 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
Order the ATE32X15, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke and force class in a short compact body. The ATE keeps the FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounting family and accepts the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, but because the ATP was DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping.
