This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE63X15S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE63X15S 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 ATP63X15S
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP63X15S 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 ATE63X15S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP63X15S
A single acting pull cylinder with spring return, the ATP63X15S keeps its 16 mm rod extended by the spring and uses compressed air to retract it. At 0.5 MPa the net pull is 1320 N (1903.2 N at 0.7 MPa), and at least 0.2 MPa (28-145 psi working band) is needed to overcome the spring. The 63 mm bore takes a 1/8" port and an M10x1.5 female rod thread, and the 15 mm stroke sits well inside the 250 mm standard range for this bore. Note that the ATP family is discontinued; the current drop-in is the ATE63X15, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight fixtures and guarded assemblies. The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the hard-anodized aluminium body. For sizing, treat roughly 792 N (about 0.6 of the 1320 N rating) as the usable pull at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 67 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the rod; speed range is 50-500 mm/s.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE63X15S (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 ATP63X15S Is Used
Spring-extended clamping on CNC fixtures
The spring holds the clamp engaged and air retracts it, so a power cut cannot release the workpiece; 1320 N at 0.5 MPa suits aluminium fixture plates.
Retracting a stop gate on packaging lines
A 15 mm pull clears a gate or pusher arm out of the product path at 50-500 mm/s, with the -S magnet feeding a CMSE switch for gate-position feedback.
Hold-down on a small press or test rig
About 792 N of usable pull at 0.5 MPa, roughly 67 kg of vertical margin, holds lids or covers down during a short leak or assembly check.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP63X15S with the ATE63X15S
Compare force classes before ordering: the 50 mm bore pulls 775 N at 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore pulls 1320 N, and the 80 mm bore reaches 2159.1 N. If your clamp or retract job needs more than about 790 N of real work, stay at 63 mm or step up. Because the spring returns the rod to its extended home on air loss, the cylinder will not hold a mid-stroke position. Match the FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis to your fixture, keep the -S magnet if you need CMSE / DMSE switching, and order the ATE63X15 as the current-production replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE63X15S
- ✓ 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 ATP63X15S FAQ
Net of the return spring, pull is 1320 N at 0.5 MPa and 1903.2 N at 0.7 MPa. Bore 63 mm, stroke 15 mm, rod 16 mm with M10x1.5 female thread, 1/8" port, operating pressure 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, speed 50-500 mm/s, fixed TPU bumpers, air filtered to 40 um. The model is discontinued; the ATE63X15 is the current replacement.
The ISO 21287 short body cuts mounting length by about 50% versus an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits where a full-length cylinder cannot. The S code means this unit carries the optional -S magnet, letting you snap on CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches for end-of-stroke signalling. Mount via FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis, and confirm ISO 21287 dimensions when moving to the ATE63X15.
