This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X30, 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 ACP100X30
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X30 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 30mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE100X30 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X30
The ACP100X30 is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 30 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 at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a big-bore press or clamp point can sit inside a guard or gantry where a full-length body will not fit.
The fixed TPU bumper at each end only softens end-of-travel impact - it never locks the rod, so a held load needs a rod lock or pilot check valve. This model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACE100X30 in the same bore, stroke and force class, and buyers should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X30 (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 ACE100X30 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 ACP100X30 Is Used
Bench-top stamping press
The 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa gives a 100 mm bore enough force for light forming and marking on aluminium brackets, while the short body fits under a low press head.
Pallet gate actuator
A 30 mm stroke is enough to swing or lift a gate pin on a conveyor line, and the 1/4" port keeps plumbing simple at the end of a long air drop.
Clamping fixture for machined housings
Roughly 240 kg of usable push at 0.5 MPa holds a cast housing against a drill jig, with the compact body bolted through FA or FB flange plates.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X30 with the ACE100X30
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the ACP range - the next size down, 80 mm, delivers 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, so choose it when the 3927 N rating of the 100 mm gives more headroom than the fixture needs. Both share a 1/4" port and 30-500 mm/s speed range. Mounting is chosen from FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis and related brackets; add the -S code only if CMSE or DMSE switches are required, since without it no magnet is fitted. Order the ACE100X30 instead - this ACP is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X30
- ✓ 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 ACP100X30 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497.8 N and pull to 5154.2 N. The theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
Order the ACE100X30, the ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 100 mm bore, 30 mm stroke and force class with a comparable short body and mounting family. Because the ACP was built to a DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before the swap. If position feedback is needed, the -S magnet option on the ACE accepts CMSE or DMSE switches.
