This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X10SH, 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 ACP100X10SH
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X10SH is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE100X10SH (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X10SH
A double acting AirTAC compact cylinder with a 100 mm bore and a very short 10 mm stroke, the ACP100X10SH pushes with 3927 N and pulls with 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod are built to the DIN-standard compact format, so the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - ideal for clamping bridges and press heads that need big force in a tight envelope. The SH code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the tube.
This model is discontinued. The current-production replacement is ACE100X10, an ISO 21287 direct in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP follows the older DIN-standard footprint. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston; it never locks or holds a load, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the position must be kept when air is lost. In practice, plan on roughly 2356 N (about 240 kg) of usable push at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 3927 N rating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X10SH (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 ACE100X10SH 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 ACP100X10SH Is Used
Short-stroke press head
The 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa (about 240 kg usable) suits a bench-top marking or staking press where the 10 mm stroke only needs to close the last gap onto the workpiece.
Clamp bridge on a welding fixture
A 100 mm bore clamp bridge holds sheet steel down between welds; the short body fits under low fixture beams where a full-length ISO 15552 profile cylinder would not.
Position-confirmed ejection
With the fitted -S magnet driving CMSE / DMSE switches, a PLC confirms the 10 mm eject stroke is complete before the conveyor indexing cycle starts.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X10SH with the ACE100X10SH
For a 10 mm stroke doing heavy clamping or short pressing, this 100 mm bore delivers 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa; step down to the 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) if force is generous, or note that 100 mm is already the largest bore in the range. The 10 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item. The -S magnet is fitted on this version, enabling CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke signalling; the female M16x1.5 rod thread takes standard I/Y knuckles, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Order ACE100X10 as the current replacement and verify mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X10SH
- ✓ 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 ACP100X10SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497.8 N and pull to 5154.2 N; the theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" PT port depends only on the 100 mm bore.
Order ACE100X10, the ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 100 mm bore, 10 mm stroke and force class with a matching short body and mounting family, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first because the ACP follows the older DIN-standard footprint.
