This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X225, 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 ACP100X225
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X225 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 225mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE100X225 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X225
A double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, the ACP100X225 pairs a 100 mm bore with a 225 mm stroke and a 25 mm hard-chrome S45C rod inside a hard-anodized aluminium body. 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 peak of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into heavy presses and gantries where a full-length body will not fit.
Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-travel shock, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACE100X225, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X225 (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 ACE100X225 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 ACP100X225 Is Used
Pneumatic press head
With 3927 N of push at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore drives a bench-top forming or staking press on aluminium brackets and small castings.
Pallet clamp actuator
The 225 mm stroke clamps and releases pallets or tote lids on a packaging line, with the 1/4" port keeping flow up at 30-500 mm/s cycle speeds.
Machine guard lift
Raises heavy sheet-metal guards on a CNC cell; the short body tucks under the guard rail where a longer cylinder cannot reach.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X225 with the ACE100X225
At this bore size the step either side is large: a 63 mm bore delivers 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm gives 3927 N, so pick the 100 only when the load genuinely needs it. The 225 mm stroke sits inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order build. Remember that a plain ACP drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted. For new designs, specify the ACE100X225 instead, which continues the same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X225
- ✓ 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 ACP100X225 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; theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Order the ACE100X225, the current ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 100 mm bore, 225 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. It accepts the FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis brackets on the standard face. Because the ACP was DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before the swap, and add -S if you need the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
