This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ATE63X5SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ATE63X5SB 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 ATP63X5SB
The AirTAC Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP63X5SB 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 ATE63X5SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP63X5SB
Single acting pull cylinder with spring return (discontinued), the ATP63X5SB uses an internal spring to hold the 16 mm rod extended and compressed air to retract it over a short 5 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa the net pull is 1320 N, rising to 1903.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both figures already after the spring force is subtracted, so at least 0.2 MPa is needed before the spring is overcome. The hard-anodized aluminium body in the ISO 21287 compact format saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight clamping nests and sliding guards.
For sizing, plan on roughly 792 N of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 1320 N rating, which corresponds to lifting about 67 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The S code on this model means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body, and the B code gives a male rod thread with a PT port thread. Since the ATP line is no longer produced, the current-production drop-in is the ATE63X5, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ATE63X5SB (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 ATP63X5SB Is Used
Clamp-then-release nests
On a small machining fixture the spring keeps the 1320 N pull engaged (part clamped) and a 0.2 MPa air signal releases it over the 5 mm stroke - fail-safe if the air drops.
Position-verified slides
Because the -S magnet is fitted on this model, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm retraction of a short-travel gate on a packaging line running 50-500 mm/s.
Compact fixture retraction
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside a jig where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder would overhang, retracting a locator pin 5 mm between cycles.
Replacing the Airtac ATP Single Acting Port Compact Cylinder ATP63X5SB with the ATE63X5SB
Work the choice from both directions: the 50 mm bore pulls about 775 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the 80 mm bore reaches about 2159.1 N if you need more grip - the 63 mm bore at 1320 N sits between them. Remember the spring returns the rod to its extended home position on air loss and will not hold a mid-stroke position, so add a external stop if you need to park the load. This model pairs the male rod thread (B) with the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings are available. Order the ATE63X5 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ATE63X5SB
- ✓ 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 ATP63X5SB FAQ
It is a single acting pull, spring-extend cylinder: pull is 1320 N at 0.5 MPa and 1903.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. Bore 63 mm, stroke 5 mm, rod 16 mm, male rod thread (B code), 1/8" port with PT thread, 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 at both ends, air filtered to 40 um. The model is discontinued; the ATE63X5 is the current drop-in.
It uses a hard-anodized aluminium compact body with threaded aluminium covers and an S45C hard-chrome rod, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the rod at the extremes only - it never locks or brakes a load. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted on this unit, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling.
