This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE63X5S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE63X5S 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 ATP63X5S 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 ATE63X5S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A single acting pull cylinder with spring extend, the ATP63X5S keeps the rod normally extended and uses air at 0.2 MPa minimum to retract it over a 5 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 1320 N of pull net of the spring, rising to 1903.2 N at 0.7 MPa, from a 63 mm bore with a 16 mm rod and a 1/8" PT port. Because this is a discontinued model, plan your swap to the current-production ATE63X5, 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 clamping nests and guarded stations. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted on this unit, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be added for end-of-stroke signal. For sizing, treat roughly 792 N (about 81 kg) as the practical pull at 0.5 MPa, or expect it to lift about 67 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod, speed 50-500 mm/s.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE63X5S (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).
The spring holds a aluminium housing against a stop while air at 0.5 MPa pulls the 1320 N clamp aside for loading; a 5 mm stroke is all the clearance the fixture needs.
With the fitted -S magnet and a DMSE switch, the PLC confirms the rod is retracted before cartons pass; on air loss the spring re-extends and blocks the lane safely.
Air retracts the ejector plate against the spring between cycles; the 1903.2 N pull at 0.7 MPa handles the strip force, and the short body fits inside the die shoe.
Size between bores: a 50 mm bore gives 775 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 80 mm reaches 2159.1 N, so the 63 mm at 1320 N sits in the middle for medium clamping or holding jobs. Remember the spring returns the rod to extended on air loss and will not hold a mid-stroke position. Mount with FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis brackets, and keep the -S magnet if you need CMSE / DMSE switching. Order the ATE63X5 as the drop-in successor and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap.
Replacement checklist
This 63 mm bore, 5 mm stroke spring-extend cylinder pulls with 1320 N at 0.5 MPa and 1903.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both figures net of the return spring. Working range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C, speed 50-500 mm/s, rod 16 mm with M10x1.5 female thread and a 1/8" PT port.
Order the ATE63X5, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same bore, stroke and force class in a short compact body. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ATP was built to a DIN-standard compact footprint. The ATE also accepts the FA/FB, LB and CA/CB mounting family.
