This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE32X25S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE32X25S 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 ATP32X25S is a single acting, pull (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ATE32X25S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP32X25S keeps its 12 mm rod extended by spring force and retracts it when compressed air is applied. At 0.5 MPa it pulls 296 N net of the spring, rising to 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, and it needs at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring. The 32 mm bore body is hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome rod, a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and the S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted directly on the body.
Because the short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into tight fixtures and guarding where a full-length body will not reach. In practice, plan on about 178 N of usable pull at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 15 kg held vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ATE32X25, the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE32X25S (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. |
| ×25 | 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 a 25 mm clamping stroke closed on aluminium housings; 296 N of pull at 0.5 MPa retracts the plunger for loading, and loss of air fails safe to the clamped side.
With the fitted -S magnet, a DMSE switch confirms the rod is home before the next carton indexes, cycling at 50-500 mm/s between 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi).
Air retracts the tooling head about 15 kg equivalent vertical load with margin, then the spring extends it clear so the operator can swap parts by hand.
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 bore at 296 N sits between them for medium clamping and return strokes. On air loss the spring drives the rod back to its extended home position and does not hold a mid-stroke point, so use a separate locking method if position must be kept. This unit carries the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, mounts via FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis, and is replaced by the ATE32X25.
Replacement checklist
It is a single acting pull cylinder: the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. Pull force, already net of the return spring, is 296 N at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 50-500 mm/s, and the port is 1/8" with an M8x1.25 female rod thread.
The short-body build saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow jigs and guarded stations. Each end carries a fixed TPU bumper that only decelerates the rod at the ends of travel. On air loss the spring returns the rod to its extended home position; it does not hold a mid-stroke position. This model is discontinued - the current drop-in is the ATE32X25, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
