This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X300, 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 ACP100X300
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X300 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 300mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE100X300 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X300
The ACP100X300 is a double acting compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard short-body format, with a 100 mm bore pushing out 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and pulling 3681.6 N on the retract stroke. Its hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. This model is discontinued; the current-production successor is the ACE100X300.
Because the ISO 21287-class short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this bore fits deep presses, gantries and guard zones where a full-length body would not. The rod ends in a female M16x1.5 thread, the air port is 1/4" PT, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping to the ACE100X300.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X300 (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 ACE100X300 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 ACP100X300 Is Used
Baling and compacting station
A 100 mm bore pressing scrap or packaging waste into a container: 3927 N at 0.5 MPa gives about 240 kg of vertical push, enough for light baling over the full 300 mm stroke.
Press-fit fixture for bearing housings
Bench-mounted press fixture pressing bushings into aluminium housings, where the short body fits under a low gantry and the female M16x1.5 rod thread takes a standard knuckle.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X300 with the ACE100X300
At this bore size the ACP100X300 delivers 3927 N push and 3681.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. If your load needs less than about 2356 N of working force, the 80 mm bore (2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) saves space and air; if you need more, no larger ACP bore exists, so step up to a larger ACE frame. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Foot (LB), flange (FA/FB) and clevis (CA/CB) mountings all fit the standard face. Order the -S code if you want the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. Replacement: ACE100X300.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X300
- ✓ 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 ACP100X300 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 5497.8 N and pulls 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 is 30-500 mm/s.
Order the ACE100X300, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 100 mm bore, 300 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. The ACE keeps the FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounting family, and the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches is ordered the same way. Because the ACP was DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping.
