This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X100B, the same code under the new prefix. 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 ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X100B
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X100B is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE100X100B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X100B
The ACP100X100B is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 100 mm stroke, built on a hard-anodized aluminium body with a 25 mm S45C hard-chrome piston rod. Air drives the rod in both directions, and fixed TPU bumpers at each end absorb end-of-travel shock. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 3927 N and pulls with 3681.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 5497.8 N and 5154.2 N, with a theoretical peak of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into heavy presses, clamping gantries and machine frames where a full-length body will not fit.
The B code gives a male rod thread; the 1/4" port depends only on the 100 mm bore. This model is discontinued - the current-production direct is the ACE100X100 in the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X100B (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 (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | 5154 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
The ACE100X100B produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X100B Is Used
Heavy clamping on CNC fixtures
The 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps steel billets and weldments in machining fixtures, with the 100 mm stroke clearing the part for loading.
Press and forming stations
With up to 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa, the bore suits light staking, riveting and forming heads where a full-length body would overhang the frame.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X100B with the ACE100X100B
Size against the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa: if your load needs less, the ACP80X100B delivers 2513.3 N in the same stroke; if you need more headroom, no larger bore exists in this family, so step up pressure instead. Remember a plain ACP does not hold position when air is lost - the piston drifts - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Mounting brackets FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot and FTC bolt to the standard face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the male thread. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet. Order the ACE100X100 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X100B
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X100B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 5497.8 N and pulls 5154.2 N. The theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting, so air extends and retracts the 25 mm rod, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Order the ACE100X100: swap the P for an E and you get the current-production ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke and force class. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before the swap. If you need position sensing, the ACE takes the same optional-magnet approach with CMSE / DMSE switches.
