This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X250SB, 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 ACP100X250SB
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X250SB 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 ACE100X250SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X250SB
A double acting compact cylinder in the AirTAC ACP DIN-standard series, the ACP100X250SB pairs a 100 mm bore with a 250 mm stroke and a 25 mm male-threaded rod (the B code). At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N, rising to 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air supply runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and rod speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into heavy presses, clamping gantries and machine frames where a full-length body cannot. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, and because the S code is ordered, the magnet is fitted - CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACE100X250, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X250SB (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 ACE100X250SB 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 ACP100X250SB Is Used
Pneumatic press head
The 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa (5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa) drives a small stamping or riveting head on a packaging line, with the 250 mm stroke covering deep part insertion.
Machine tool clamp gantry
The short body, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, clamps large castings inside guarded CNC fixtures where a full-length body will not fit.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X250SB with the ACE100X250SB
For heavy clamping and lifting, compare neighbours: the 80 mm bore pushes 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up beyond 100 mm leaves the ACP range - 100 mm is the largest bore at 3927 N push. The 250 mm stroke sits inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order length is needed. The male rod thread (B) suits rod knuckles and external tooling; FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot and FTC brackets bolt to the mounting face. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay held. Order ACE100X250 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X250SB
- ✓ 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 ACP100X250SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 5497.8 N and pull 5154.2 N; theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
Order ACE100X250, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 100 mm bore, 250 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. Because the ACP was DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The male rod thread, 1/4" PT ports and FA/FB, LB, CA/CB, CR, SDB and FTC mounting options carry across, and the magnet in this S-coded model maps to the ACE sensor-ready version for CMSE / DMSE switches.
