This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE50X10 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE50X10 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 ATP50X10
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP50X10 is a single acting, pull (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ATE50X10 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP50X10
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP50X10 keeps its 16 mm rod extended by an internal spring and retracts it with compressed air, so it fails to the extended home position whenever air is lost. At the 0.2 MPa minimum working pressure the spring is already overcome, and at 0.5 MPa the net pull is 775 N (1127.5 N at 0.7 MPa), both figures already net of the spring. This 50 mm bore unit is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ATE50X10, the same bore, stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 ACE family.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits shallow clamping pockets and slide fixtures on packaging and assembly machines. In practice, plan on about 465 N of usable pull at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts roughly 39 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 1/8" PT port, and the rod ends in a female M10x1.5 thread. No magnet is fitted on this code; order the -S variant if you need CMSE or DMSE switch sensing.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE50X10 (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 (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 775.0 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1127.5 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 ATP50X10 Is Used
Spring-extended clamping of machined housings
On a CNC fixture the spring holds an aluminium gearbox housing against a stop; 465 N of usable pull at 0.5 MPa is enough for light clamping, and air loss never releases the part.
Normally-out gate on a bottling line
A 10 mm retract stroke pulls a guide pin out of the bottle path only while air is present, so a power failure leaves the lane blocked by default.
Retractable locator pin in an assembly jig
The female M10x1.5 rod thread takes a knuckle to withdraw a steel locating pin about 39 kg-equivalent of vertical load, then the spring pushes it back home.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP50X10 with the ATE50X10
Size between bores: the ATP40X10 gives 500.3 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while the ATP63X10 reaches 1320 N, so pick the 50 mm bore when your load sits between those two. Because the spring returns the rod and no mid-stroke position is held, use it for retract-to-home duties rather than holding a load partway. Mounting brackets FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis bolt to the standard face, and the -S code adds the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. Before ordering, note the ATP50X10 is discontinued and swap to the ATE50X10 after confirming the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE50X10
- ✓ 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 ATP50X10 FAQ
Net of the return spring it pulls 775 N at 0.5 MPa and 1127.5 N at 0.7 MPa. Working pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed range 50-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, and air filtered to 40 um. The 1/8" PT port serves the 50 mm bore and the rod thread is female M10x1.5.
The short-body build saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end of travel. The ATP50X10 is no longer in production; the current drop-in is the ATE50X10 in the ISO 21287 family, same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, and order the -S code if you need the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
