This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE32X5 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE32X5 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 ATP32X5
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP32X5 is a single acting, pull (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 5mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ATE32X5 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP32X5
The ATP32X5 is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return (now discontinued): an internal spring holds the rod extended and compressed air at 0.2 MPa or more retracts it over a short 5 mm stroke. In the 32 mm bore class it delivers a net pull of 296 N at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, already reduced by the spring, through a 12 mm rod with a female M8x1.25 thread and a 1/8" port. The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into clamping nests and fixture plates where a full-length body cannot.
For sizing, treat about 178 N (0.6 of the 296 N rating) as the realistic working pull at 0.5 MPa, and expect roughly 15 kg of vertical lift capability with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends to soften the travel. Note that this model carries no magnet: the optional -S code is required before CMSE or DMSE switches can be used. Since the ATP line is out of production, plan the swap to the current-production ATE32X5 and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first, because this unit was built to the DIN standard.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE32X5 (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 ATP32X5 Is Used
Latch retraction on assembly fixtures
The spring keeps the latch hook engaged and a 296 N pull at 0.5 MPa retracts it 5 mm when the operator releases a machined housing from its locating nest.
Spring-open clamp gate on a CNC pallet
Air loss opens the gate to the extended home position, letting a robot swap pallets; 0.2 MPa minimum pressure is enough to close it again against the spring.
Short-throw reject finger on a filling line
A 5 mm kick of about 178 N working pull nudges an underfilled bottle off a conveyor lane, with the TPU bumpers absorbing the rapid cycling at up to 500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP32X5 with the ATE32X5
Pick this 32 mm bore when your clamp or latch needs about 296 N of pull at 0.5 MPa over just 5 mm; step down to a 25 mm bore (about 171 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter latches, or up to a 40 mm bore (about 500 N) for heavier clamping. The spring returns the rod to extended on air loss but will not hold a mid-stroke position, so add an external stop if you need one. Mount with FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis brackets, and order the -S variant if CMSE or DMSE sensing is planned. For new projects, specify the ATE32X5 instead - it is the current drop-in successor in the same force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE32X5
- ✓ 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 ATP32X5 FAQ
This 32 mm bore unit pulls 296 N at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both figures net of the return spring. A practical plan is to load it to about 178 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which supports roughly 15 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. It needs at least 0.2 MPa (28-145 psi operating range) to overcome the spring, runs on air filtered to 40 um, tolerates -20 to +70 C, and moves at 50-500 mm/s.
Order the ATE32X5, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you keep the same 32 mm bore, 5 mm stroke and force class. Because the ATP was built to the DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The short body still saves about 50% of the length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the standard face. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code with CMSE or DMSE switches.
