This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE40X10B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE40X10B 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 ATP40X10B is a single acting, pull (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ATE40X10B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP40X10B keeps its rod extended by spring force and retracts it with compressed air, delivering 500.3 N of pull at 0.5 MPa (729 N at 0.7 MPa), both figures already net of the spring. The 40 mm bore needs at least 0.2 MPa of air to overcome the spring, and the 10 mm stroke suits very short retract motions such as releasing a latch or clearing a part from a nest.
The short ISO 21287 style body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 1/8" port, and the B code gives a male rod thread on the 12 mm rod. Plan on about 300 N of usable pull at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 25 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued; the current drop-in is the ATE40X10, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE40X10B (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 | 500.3 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 729.0 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). |
|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×10 | 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).
Spring holds the clamp open and a 500.3 N air pull at 0.5 MPa retracts the hook just enough to free a stamped bracket for unloading.
A 10 mm pull stroke kicks small molded caps out of the nest on a packaging line, with the spring re-extending the plunger between cycles.
If air is lost the spring extends the rod and re-engages the guard latch, while CMSE switches on the -S magnet version confirm the locked state.
At 0.5 MPa this bore pulls 500.3 N; step down to a 32 mm bore (296 N) for lighter latches or up to a 50 mm bore (775 N) for heavier clamping. Because the spring returns the rod to its extended home on air loss, it 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 code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. This model is discontinued and replaced by the ATE40X10.
Replacement checklist
It pulls 500.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 729 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. Operating range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and at least 0.2 MPa is needed to beat the spring. Speed is 50-500 mm/s over the 10 mm stroke, with air filtered to 40 um and a -20 to +70 C temperature range.
No, the ATP family is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is the ATE40X10, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ATP follows a DIN-standard compact layout.
