This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE50X10B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE50X10B 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 ATP50X10B
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP50X10B 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 ATE50X10B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP50X10B
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP50X10B keeps its rod extended at rest and uses compressed air to retract it. At 0.5 MPa the 50 mm bore delivers 775 N of pull net of the spring, rising to 1127.5 N at 0.7 MPa, and it needs at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring. The B code gives a male rod thread on the 16 mm rod, and the port is 1/8". Note this model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ATE50X10, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures where a full-length body will not fit. In practice, plan on roughly 465 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa - about 47 kgf, or around 24 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, and this version has no magnet fitted, so no switch can be mounted unless you order the optional -S code for CMSE / DMSE sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE50X10B (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 ATP50X10B Is Used
Spring-extended clamping on CNC fixtures
The 775 N spring-extended hold at 0.5 MPa keeps a machined housing clamped in a milling fixture even if shop air drops, releasing only when air retracts the rod.
Fail-safe gate return on packaging lines
A 10 mm stroke is enough to snap a divert gate back to its home position between cartons on a bottling conveyor, with the spring guaranteeing the open state on air loss.
Retracting a punch from a stamping die
Air pulls the 16 mm rod back to clear a formed bracket after each press cycle, while the spring pushes the tooling clear for loading at rest.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP50X10B with the ATE50X10B
Size against neighbours: the 40 mm bore pulls 500.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 63 mm bore reaches 1320 N, so the 50 mm sits mid-range for clamping and return tasks. Because the spring only returns the rod to its extended home position on air loss, it will not hold a mid-stroke position. Mount with FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis brackets, and order the -S code if you need the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. Before swapping in the ATE50X10, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE50X10B
- ✓ 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 ATP50X10B FAQ
Pull is 775 N at 0.5 MPa and 1127.5 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring, with a minimum of 0.2 MPa needed to move the rod. A practical planning figure is about 465 N of real work at 0.5 MPa - roughly 47 kgf, or about 24 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Operating range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 50-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, and the port is 1/8".
Order the ATE50X10, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 50 mm bore, 10 mm stroke and force class in a short compact body. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your existing fixture before the swap, and remember the magnet is the optional -S code on both families, so add -S only if you run CMSE / DMSE switches.
