This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE32X5B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE32X5B 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 ATP32X5B
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP32X5B 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 ATE32X5B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP32X5B
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP32X5B keeps its 12 mm rod extended by an internal spring and retracts it with compressed air from 0.2 MPa (28 psi) upward. 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. This 5 mm stroke unit has a male rod thread (B code) and a 1/8" PT port. Note: this model is discontinued - the current-production replacement is the ATE32X5, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight clamping fixtures and small test rigs. For sizing, plan on roughly 178 N of usable pull at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of rating), enough to lift about 15 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, and no magnet is fitted - order the -S code if you later need CMSE or DMSE switch sensing.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE32X5B (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 ATP32X5B Is Used
Spring-extended clamp on a small CNC fixture
The spring holds the clamp closed on a 5 mm jaw move; 296 N of air pull at 0.5 MPa retracts it when the PLC vents the line, releasing an aluminium housing between cuts.
Retracting a gauge probe in an automated inspection station
Air pulls the probe back 5 mm at up to 500 mm/s so a camera can index the part; the spring re-extends it home on any air loss, a fail-safe posture for the measuring cycle.
Part-release kicker on an electronics assembly bench
A short 5 mm nudge with about 178 N of usable pull at 0.5 MPa tips finished PCB carriers off a nest; the compact body fits under the bench guard where a full-length cylinder cannot.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP32X5B with the ATE32X5B
At 32 mm bore this sits mid-range: the 25 mm bore pulls 170.9 N at 0.5 MPa if your clamp needs less, while the 40 mm bore gives 500.3 N for heavier retraction work. The 5 mm stroke suits micro-adjustment and short ejection moves only - do not stretch it into longer travel jobs. Mount via FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis, and remember the spring returns the rod to extended on air loss rather than holding a mid-stroke position. Order the ATE32X5 instead, as this ATP version is out of production.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE32X5B
- ✓ 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 ATP32X5B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore pulls 296 N; at 0.7 MPa it pulls 434.2 N. Both figures are net of the return spring, so no deduction is needed. Air retracts the rod and the spring extends it, so at least 0.2 MPa (28 psi) is required to overcome the spring. Operating range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 50-500 mm/s, and temperature -20 to +70 C with air filtered to 40 um.
No - the ATP family is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is the ATE32X5, which swaps the P for an E and matches the same 32 mm bore, 5 mm stroke and force class. Because the ATP was DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions of the ATE32X5 against your fixture before ordering. If you need position sensing on the replacement, check the -S magnet option with CMSE or DMSE switches.
