This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE32X5SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE32X5SB 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 ATP32X5SB
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP32X5SB 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 ATE32X5SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP32X5SB
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP32X5SB keeps its rod extended by the return spring and retracts it with compressed air, so at rest and on air loss the rod sits in the extended home position. This 32 mm bore size 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 it needs at least 0.2 MPa of air to overcome the spring. Note that the ATP family is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ATE32X5, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class.
The short ISO 21287 body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into cramped fixture plates and sliding guards. This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke detection, and the B code gives a male rod thread with a PT port. As a working rule, plan on about 178 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 9 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE32X5SB (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 ATP32X5SB Is Used
Fixture clamp release
On a CNC milling fixture, the spring holds the clamp open and the 296 N pull at 0.5 MPa retracts the hook over 5 mm to free the aluminium workpiece for unloading.
Guard presence check
With the -S magnet fitted, a DMSE switch on the 32 mm bore body confirms on a sliding machine guard that the 5 mm retract stroke has completed before the PLC enables the spindle.
Carton hold-down lift
On a small case-packing line, the spring-extended rod presses a light hold-down pad; air retracts it about 9 kg-equivalent vertically, clearing the carton for the next cycle.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP32X5SB with the ATE32X5SB
At 32 mm bore this size pulls 296 N at 0.5 MPa; if your load is lighter, the 25 mm bore (170.9 N at 0.5 MPa) saves space, and if you need more, the 40 mm bore reaches 500.3 N at 0.5 MPa. The 5 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-release or confirm-present motions, and because the spring only returns the rod to its extended home, it will not hold a mid-stroke position. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the standard face, and the male rod thread (B code) takes I/Y knuckles directly. Before ordering, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions of the ATE32X5 replacement, since this DIN-standard series is no longer produced.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE32X5SB
- ✓ 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 ATP32X5SB FAQ
This 32 mm bore single acting pull cylinder gives 296 N at 0.5 MPa and 434.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. It runs on 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, needs a minimum of 0.2 MPa to beat the spring, moves at 50-500 mm/s, and works from -20 to +70 C on air filtered to 40 um. The 5 mm stroke is within the standard range for this bore, and the port is 1/8" PT.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287 format, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end that only decelerates the rod at the extremes. Because this model carries the -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for position signals. The ATP series is discontinued, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions of the ATE32X5 drop-in replacement before you swap.
