This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X250, 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 ACP100X250
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X250 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 250mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE100X250 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X250
The ACP100X250 is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 250 mm stroke, driving a 25 mm hard-chrome S45C rod through a female M16x1.5 thread. 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. Its hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a heavy press or clamp station can sit inside a frame where a full-length body would never fit.
Fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the piston at each end of the 30-500 mm/s speed range, and the rod drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACE100X250 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X250 (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 ACE100X250 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 ACP100X250 Is Used
Pallet stamping press
The 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa marks batch codes or date stamps onto timber pallets, with the 250 mm stroke clearing tall jig stacks between cycles.
Drum lid clamp on a filling line
Clamps 200 L steel drums against a fixed stop before filling; the short body tucks under a low guard rail where a full-length cylinder would collide.
Cardboard bale ejector
Ejects compressed cardboard blocks from a small baler chute, using the 3681.6 N pull stroke at 0.5 MPa to retract the heavy pusher plate quickly.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X250 with the ACE100X250
At this force class the 100 mm bore is near the top of the range: the 80 mm bore delivers 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while there is no larger standard bore in the family. The 250 mm stroke sits inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE or DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted. FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis and other brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Since the ACP100X250 is discontinued, specify the ACE100X250 as the current replacement and verify mounting dimensions against the ISO 21287 drawing.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X250
- ✓ 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 ACP100X250 FAQ
It is double acting: 3927 N push and 3681.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 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 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the fluid is air filtered to 40 um. The 1/4" port serves both chambers and the rod carries a female M16x1.5 thread.
Order the ACE100X250, the current-production ISO 21287 successor with the same 100 mm bore, 250 mm stroke and force class; confirm the mounting dimensions before swapping because the ACP was built to the DIN standard. On the ACP itself, sensing was never fitted as standard: only models ordered with the optional -S magnet accepted CMSE or DMSE switches, and this version has no magnet at all.
