This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE50X15 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE50X15 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 ATP50X15
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP50X15 is a single acting, pull (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 15mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ATE50X15 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP50X15
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP50X15 uses a spring to hold the rod extended and compressed air at 0.2 MPa or higher to retract it over a 15 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa the net pull is 775 N (1127.5 N at 0.7 MPa), already measured against the spring. Plan on roughly 465 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 23 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The 50 mm bore takes a 16 mm rod with an M10x1.5 female thread and a 1/8" port.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 compact build, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into shallow fixtures and guarded assemblies. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ATE50X15, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. For position sensing, order the -S code to add the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S no magnet is fitted.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE50X15 (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 ATP50X15 Is Used
Bench press hold-open
The spring keeps a small die clamp retracted-open at rest; 775 N of pull at 0.5 MPa snaps it back over 15 mm when air is applied, releasing machined aluminium blanks.
Carton gate retraction
On a packaging line, air pressure pulls a 15 mm gate pin clear of the carton path; on air loss the spring returns the pin to its extended, blocking position automatically.
Fixture presence check with -S
Order the -S magnet and a CMSE switch to confirm the rod has retracted on a welding fixture, giving a wired signal that the part clamp has released before robot motion.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP50X15 with the ATE50X15
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 retracting tasks needing 775 N. Keep strokes short and speeds between 50-500 mm/s. If you need FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounting, or the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors, add it to the code. Since ATP is discontinued, order the ATE50X15 as the current equivalent and verify the ISO 21287 footprint first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE50X15
- ✓ 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 ATP50X15 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the net pull is 775 N; at 0.7 MPa it is 1127.5 N. Both figures are already net of the return spring, which extends the rod while air retracts it. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa (28-145 psi overall range, 1.5 MPa / 215 psi proof), speed is 50-500 mm/s, and the 50 mm bore uses a 1/8" port with an M10x1.5 female rod thread.
Order the ATE50X15: swap the P for an E and you get the current-production ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. The short aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder and accepts the same FA/FB, LB and CA/CB mounting family, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before the swap.
