This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X15B, 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 ACP100X15B
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X15B is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 15mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE100X15B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X15B
The ACP100X15B is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 100 mm bore and a short 15 mm stroke, driving a 25 mm hard-chromed S45C rod through a male thread (the B code). At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N, rising to 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits shallow press fixtures and clamping gantries that a full-length body cannot.
The fixed TPU bumper at each end only decelerates the piston, so the rod will drift if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is ACE100X15, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X15B (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 ACE100X15B 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 ACP100X15B Is Used
Short-stroke pressing
The 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa over just 15 mm suits swaging terminals or staking bearings into housings on a bench press where the work only needs a quick final clamp.
Fixture clamping in tight dies
A body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder lets this 100 mm bore clamp deep inside a stamping die or weld jig where a long cylinder would foul the tooling.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X15B with the ACE100X15B
At this force class the 100 mm bore is near the top of the range: a 80 mm bore gives 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while there is no larger standard bore in the family, so step to a multi-cylinder arrangement if you need more than about 3927 N. The 15 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 100. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S there is no magnet. Order ACE100X15 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X15B
- ✓ 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 ACP100X15B 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 the theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The model is discontinued - the current-production direct is ACE100X15 (same 100 mm bore, 15 mm stroke and force class). Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN standard.
It is a compact short-body cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod, 1/4" ports, a fixed TPU bumper at both ends and a speed range of 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code, which allows CMSE or DMSE switches; this unit has no magnet fitted, so no switch can be mounted as supplied.
