This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X150S, 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.

The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X150S is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 150mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE100X150S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Double acting on a 100 mm bore, the ACP100X150S pushes with 3927 N and pulls with 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 5497.8 N on the extend stroke at 0.7 MPa - the strongest force class in the ACP range. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 style short build that saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into presses and gantries where a full-length body will not fit.
The rod is 25 mm with a female M16x1.5 thread, air ports are 1/4", and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACE100X150 in the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X150S (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 | 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 ACE100X150S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.
| ACP | DIN compact cylinder (double-acting, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 100 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×150 | 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 (double rod, adjustable stroke).
With about 2356 N of practical push at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore crimps terminals and inserts bushings in electrical assembly cells, with CMSE switches confirming full stroke.
The 150 mm stroke clamps and releases thick steel weldment fixtures on robotic welding lines, where the short ISO 21287 style body fits between fixture rails.
At 150 mm stroke this sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore, so it is a catalogue item rather than a made-to-order build. If 3927 N at 0.5 MPa is more force than the job needs, the 80 mm bore delivers 2513 N in the same short body; if you need headroom at lower pressure, there is no larger ACP bore, so step up to a 125 mm class or add pressure. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the same face, and the fitted -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Order the ACE100X150 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
It is double acting: push is 3927 N and pull is 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 5497.8 N push and 5154.2 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed is 30-500 mm/s, and the fluid is air filtered to 40 um. The bore is 100 mm, the stroke is 150 mm, the rod is 25 mm with a female M16x1.5 thread, and the ports are 1/4".
This model is no longer in production. The current direct is the ACE100X150, which swaps the P for an E and matches the same 100 mm bore, 150 mm stroke and force class; confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping since the ACP was DIN-standard. The S in your code means the optional -S magnet is fitted on this unit, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches will work - but on a fresh ACE order you must specify the -S code, because without it no magnet is installed. The fixed TPU bumpers at each end only soften the stroke ends and never hold a load.
