This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE40X10SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE40X10SB 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 ATP40X10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP40X10SB 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 ATE40X10SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP40X10SB
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP40X10SB keeps its 12 mm rod extended by an internal spring and retracts it with compressed air. This 40 mm bore unit delivers a net pull of 500.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 729 N at 0.7 MPa, both already reduced by the spring, and it needs only 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring and stroke. It is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ATE40X10 in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The short ISO 21287 style body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight clamping fixtures and guarded stations. Because the S code is in this model, the magnet is fitted and CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body. The B code gives a male rod thread, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the stroke ends. In practice, plan on roughly 300 N of usable pull at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 25 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE40X10SB (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 (Ø40mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP40X10SB Is Used
Fixture release on a CNC pallet changer
The spring holds the clamp hook extended at rest; a 0.2 MPa air pulse pulls it back 10 mm to free the pallet, and 500.3 N of spring force keeps the hook seated between cycles.
Reject gate retraction on a bottling line
Air retracts the gate arm against the spring at up to 500 mm/s; if the line loses air, the spring slams the gate back to its extended blocking position automatically.
Carton hold-down lift on a case sealer
The 10 mm stroke lifts a hold-down pad about 25 kg equivalent vertically with margin, and the fitted magnet plus a DMSE switch confirms pad-down before the sealing head fires.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP40X10SB with the ATE40X10SB
At 0.5 MPa this bore pulls 500.3 N net of the spring; if your load needs less, the 32 mm bore (296 N) saves space, and the 50 mm bore (775 N) covers heavier clamps. The 10 mm stroke suits short ejection or release moves, and strokes up to 200 mm are standard for this bore. Remember the spring returns the rod to its extended home on air loss and will not hold a mid-stroke position. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the same face, and the ATE40X10 is the current replacement - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE40X10SB
- ✓ 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 ATP40X10SB FAQ
This is a single acting pull, spring-extend cylinder: the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. Net pull (already reduced by the spring) is 500.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 729 N at 0.7 MPa. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa (28 psi), the operating range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 50-500 mm/s. Port is 1/8" (PT) and the rod end is a male thread.
Order the ATE40X10, the current ISO 21287 compact cylinder that replaces it (swap the P for an E). It matches the same 40 mm bore, 10 mm stroke and force class, and the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Because the ATP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, and note the -S magnet on this model carries CMSE / DMSE switches.
