This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE32X20S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE32X20S 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 ATP32X20S
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP32X20S is a single acting, pull (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 20mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ATE32X20S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP32X20S
This ATP32X20S is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return (discontinued): the built-in spring extends the rod to its home position and compressed air retracts it, so it fails to the extended state whenever air is lost. The 32 mm bore delivers 296 N of pull at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both figures already net of the spring, and at least 0.2 MPa is needed to overcome the spring. The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped onto the hard-anodized aluminium body for end-of-stroke signalling.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs, guards and gantries. For sizing, plan on roughly 178 N of real work at 0.5 MPa and expect it to lift about 15 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends decelerate the rod, the S45C hard-chrome rod carries a female M8x1.25 thread, and the port is 1/8". This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ATE32X20, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE32X20S (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 ATP32X20S Is Used
Spring-up ejector on a packaging line
Air retracts the rod to pull empty cartons down onto a forming station, and on air loss the spring lifts the rod clear so jammed cartons are ejected safely instead of being crushed.
Signalled hold-open gate on a small assembly jig
The fitted -S magnet drives a DMSE switch to confirm the rod is fully extended before a robot picks the part, and the 20 mm stroke keeps the retract travel short inside the fixture.
Fail-safe clamp release in a CNC fixture
The spring holds the workpiece clear at rest and 296 N of air pull retracts a locating pin for loading; the short body fits where a full-length ISO 15552 profile cylinder cannot.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP32X20S with the ATE32X20S
Size both ways: if 296 N of pull at 0.5 MPa is more than your load needs, the 25 mm bore gives 170.9 N; if you need more, the 40 mm bore reaches 500.3 N. Remember the spring returns the rod on air loss and will not hold a mid-stroke position. This unit ships with the -S magnet fitted for CMSE / DMSE switches and a female M8x1.25 rod thread; FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the same face. Since ATP is discontinued, order ATE32X20 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE32X20S
- ✓ 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 ATP32X20S FAQ
It is a single acting pull, spring-return cylinder: pull is 296 N at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. Bore 32 mm, stroke 20 mm, rod 12 mm with a female M8x1.25 thread, 1/8" port, operating pressure 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. The -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted. The model is discontinued; ATE32X20 is the current replacement.
The ISO 21287-class compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it drops into cramped jigs and guards. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the rod at the ends of travel; it is not adjustable and it never locks or holds a load, since the spring simply returns the rod to its extended home position on air loss.
