This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X100S, 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 ACP100X100S
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X100S 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 ACE100X100S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X100S
The ACP100X100S is a double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, with a 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke and a 25 mm hard-chrome S45C rod on a hard-anodized aluminium body. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N, rising to 5497.8 N on the extend stroke at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto the body for end-position sensing.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this bore size fits heavy clamping stations and press fixtures that cannot accommodate a full-length body. Fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the piston at both ends, but they do not hold a load when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where position must be retained. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is ACE100X100, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X100S (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 ACE100X100S 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 ACP100X100S Is Used
Heavy fixture clamping
Clamps steel weldments in a machining fixture where 3927 N of push at 0.5 MPa holds the part against milling forces, and the short body fits inside the fixture envelope.
Small press and forming station
Drives a light press head for staking or swaging aluminium terminals, using the 5497.8 N extend force at 0.7 MPa and CMSE switches on the fitted magnet to confirm both end positions.
Pallet gate actuation
Swings or lifts heavy guard gates on a packaging line, where the compact body mounts between conveyor frames and the 100 mm stroke clears the walkway.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X100S with the ACE100X100S
At this force class the 100 mm bore is near the top of the range: the 80 mm bore delivers 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is not possible within the series, so if 3927 N at 0.5 MPa is marginal for the job, reconsider the mechanism or leverage rather than the bore. Stroke 100 mm sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 100, so no made-to-order stroke is needed. The female M16x1.5 rod thread accepts standard I/Y rod knuckles, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the same face. Because the piston drifts when the valve centres, specify a rod lock if the load must stay put. Order ACE100X100 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X100S
- ✓ 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 ACP100X100S FAQ
Push is 3927 N and pull is 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497.8 N and pull to 5154.2 N, with a theoretical maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is a double acting compact cylinder, 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 25 mm rod, 1/4" PT ports, female M16x1.5 rod thread, operating on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, 30-500 mm/s speed, -20 to +70 C, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends.
Order ACE100X100, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same bore, stroke and force class in a matching short body. Because the ACP was built to a DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches will work; on the ACE, order the -S code if you also need sensing.
