This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE63X5 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE63X5 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.

The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP63X5 is a single acting, pull (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 5mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ATE63X5 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ATP63X5 is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return: an internal spring holds the rod extended and compressed air at 0.2 MPa or more retracts it. In this 63 mm bore the spring is already deducted from the rating, so the net pull is 1320 N at 0.5 MPa and 1903.2 N at 0.7 MPa. The 5 mm stroke suits tiny repositioning moves such as unseating a part from a nest or releasing a latch. This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ATE63X5, which keeps the same bore, stroke and force class.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits where a full-length body cannot. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 16 mm S45C hard-chrome rod, a 1/8" PT port and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Plan on roughly 792 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 67 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The magnet is optional: order the -S code to enable CMSE or DMSE switches, otherwise no magnet is fitted.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE63X5 (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.
| 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.
| ATP | DIN compact cylinder (single-acting pull, spring-return, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×5 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (adjustable stroke).
A 5 mm spring-extend stroke lifts a machined housing a few millimetres off its locating pins so an overhead gripper can pick it; 1320 N at 0.5 MPa clears the part weight with margin.
The normally extended rod holds a guide latch open and air retracts it for each carton batch, so a lost air signal leaves the lane open rather than jammed.
Spring extension pushes a light parcel off the belt edge at a diverter; the 1/8" port keeps plumbing compact inside the conveyor frame.
Compare bores at 0.5 MPa net pull: the 50 mm bore gives 775 N and the 80 mm bore gives 2159.1 N, so the 63 mm sits between them at 1320 N. If your clamp needs to stay retracted on air loss, this spring-extend design will not do it - the spring always returns the rod to extended. Choose FA or FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis to match your fixture, and add -S only if you need CMSE or DMSE position switches. Before ordering, price the ATE63X5 instead and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your drawing.
Replacement checklist
Net pull (spring already deducted) is 1320 N at 0.5 MPa and 1903.2 N at 0.7 MPa. Bore 63 mm, stroke 5 mm, 16 mm rod with female M10x1.5 thread, 1/8" PT port. Operating range 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 50-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends; the magnet is the optional -S code for CMSE or DMSE switches.
Order the ATE63X5: 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 body still saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the same face. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your drawing before the swap, since the ATP was built to a DIN-standard compact format.
