This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE63X15B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE63X15B 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 ATP63X15B
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP63X15B is a single acting, pull (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 15mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ATE63X15B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP63X15B
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP63X15B keeps the rod extended by spring and retracts it with air, delivering 1320 N of pull at 0.5 MPa (1903.2 N at 0.7 MPa), both figures already net of the spring. The 63 mm bore takes a 16 mm rod with a male thread (the B code) and breathes through a 1/8" port. It needs just 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring, runs 50-500 mm/s, and carries fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ATE63X15.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. For real-world sizing, plan on roughly 792 N of usable pull at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 67 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that this code has no S, so no magnet is fitted and no CMSE or DMSE switch can be read from it; order the -S variant if position sensing matters.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE63X15B (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 (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1320.0 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1903.2 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 ATP63X15B Is Used
Fixture retraction on CNC pallet changers
The spring holds the 16 mm male-threaded rod extended between cycles; 1320 N of air pull at 0.5 MPa retracts locators clear of the pallet in a 15 mm window.
Carton hold-open arms on case sealers
With about 792 N of usable force, the spring-extended arm keeps flaps open, and air retracts it the moment the case passes, failing safe to extended on air loss.
Guide-rail kickers on bottling lines
The 15 mm stroke is enough to swing a rail guide in and out at 50-500 mm/s, and the short body fits under low conveyor guard frames.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP63X15B with the ATE63X15B
Size against neighbours: the 50 mm bore pulls 775 N at 0.5 MPa while the 80 mm bore reaches 2159.1 N, so 1320 N sits squarely between them for mid-weight gripping or clamping. The 15 mm stroke is short by design, and on air loss the spring simply returns the rod to its extended home rather than holding a mid-stroke position. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the standard face, and the male rod thread (B) takes external tooling directly. Before swapping to the ATE63X15, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE63X15B
- ✓ 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 ATP63X15B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the rod pulls 1320 N and at 0.7 MPa it pulls 1903.2 N, both net of the return spring. The spring extends the rod and air retracts it, so on air loss the rod springs back to its extended home position; it does not hold a mid-stroke position. Operating range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 50-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis options on the standard face. The ATP63X15B is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ATE63X15 in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, and remember this code has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches require the optional -S variant.
