This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X225B, 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 ACP100X225B
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X225B 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 ACE100X225B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X225B
Double acting on both strokes, the ACP100X225B is the largest bore in AirTAC's DIN-standard compact range: 100 mm bore, 225 mm stroke and a 25 mm hard-chrome S45C rod driven through a male thread (B code). 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 - roughly 800.9 kgf theoretical at 1.0 MPa. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this force class fits into heavy clamping fixtures and press heads where a full-length body will not. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production successor is ACE100X225.
The fixed TPU bumpers at each end only soften end-of-travel - they never hold a load, so if the rod must stay put when air drops, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), filtered to 40 um, with speed from 30-500 mm/s. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches when ordered.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X225B (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 ACE100X225B 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 ACP100X225B Is Used
Pneumatic press head for aluminium crimping
A 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa crimps terminal blocks and small aluminium joints in electrical cabinet assembly, with the 225 mm stroke clearing the loaded fixture between cycles.
Pallet-stacker clamp actuation
In warehouse end-of-line cells, the 100 mm bore clamps cartons against a back plate; the short body mounts inside the clamp arm where a full-length profile cylinder cannot reach.
Gate pusher on a foundry conveyor
Pushing hot casting bins off a roller line needs the 5497.8 N available at 0.7 MPa; the fixed TPU bumpers absorb the return strike at each end of the 225 mm travel.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X225B with the ACE100X225B
At 225 mm stroke this sits inside the 300 mm standard range for the 100 mm bore, so no made-to-order stroke is needed. Size down only if your load is light: a 63 mm bore gives 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, while this 100 mm bore delivers 3927 N - pick the 100 when you need the 240 kg-class working thrust. The B code gives a male rod thread with a PT (blank) port thread; order G instead for BSPP plumbing. If you need position feedback, order the -S variant, since without it there is no magnet and CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be fitted. For new builds, specify ACE100X225 instead - same bore, stroke and force class, currently in production - and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X225B
- ✓ 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 ACP100X225B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N; at 0.7 MPa the push rises to 5497.8 N, with a theoretical maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
Yes, the ACP family is out of production; the current direct is ACE100X225, the ISO 21287 successor in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to the older DIN standard. For sensing, the -S code adds the magnet that lets CMSE or DMSE switches be mounted; without that option no magnet is fitted and no switch can be used.
