This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X300SB, 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.

The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X300SB 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 ACE100X300SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ACP100X300SB is a double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, with a 100 mm bore and a 300 mm stroke that sits right at the maximum standard stroke for this bore. It delivers 3927 N push and 3681.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this heavy force class fits clamping gantries and press fixtures where a full-length body will not. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body, and the B code gives a male rod thread on the 25 mm rod.
Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed range 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACE100X300, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X300SB (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.
| 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 ACE100X300SB produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.
| ACP | DIN compact cylinder (double-acting, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 100 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×300 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (double rod, adjustable stroke).
With about 2356 N of practical clamping force at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore holds large machined housings or weldments in machining and welding jigs, and the short body fits inside the fixture envelope.
At 0.7 MPa the push reaches 5497.8 N, enough for light staking, marking and forming heads on automated lines, with CMSE or DMSE switches on the fitted -S magnet confirming end positions.
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the ACP range: 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa against 2513 N for the 80 mm bore, so step down to 80 only if your load is under roughly 1500 N of working force. There is no larger ACP bore, so for more force move to a larger ACE or a different series. The 300 mm stroke is the maximum standard stroke for bore 100, so no made-to-order stroke is needed. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must hold position. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis) bolt to the standard face, and the male rod thread suits I/Y knuckles. Since this model is discontinued, order the ACE100X300 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
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; theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is a double acting compact cylinder, 100 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, 25 mm rod with male thread, 1/4" port, operating on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air at 30-500 mm/s with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. The model is discontinued; the ACE100X300 is the current replacement.
The compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 300 mm stroke fits in tight gantries and guards. The S code means this unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches mount on the body for end-position sensing. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the standard face. Before ordering, confirm the ISO 21287 dimensions of the ACE100X300 replacement.
