This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X30B, 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 ACP100X30B
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X30B 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 ACE100X30B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X30B
A double acting compact cylinder with a 100 mm bore and a short 30 mm stroke, the ACP100X30B pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 5497.8 N on extension at 0.7 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it was a favourite inside presses, clamping bridges and gantry frames where every millimetre of length counts. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends of the stroke.
Note this unit is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ISO 21287 ACE100X30, matching the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The B code gives a male 25 mm rod thread with a PT 1/4" port. Since no magnet is fitted, plan the optional -S code if you later want CMSE or DMSE switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X30B (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 ACE100X30B 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 ACP100X30B Is Used
Baling press platen
The 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa drives a small baling or compacting platen in a recycling line, where the 30 mm stroke suits a short compression step and the compact body fits the press frame.
Clamping fixture on a machining centre
Fixture builders use the 100 mm bore to clamp heavy aluminium castings on a CNC fixture table; FA or FB flange mounting bolts the short body straight into the fixture plate.
Pallet stopper in a warehouse conveyor
A vertical pallet stop or lift assist rated around 200 kg working load is matched by this bore, with the 30 mm stroke raising the stop just clear of roller height.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X30B with the ACE100X30B
At 3927 N push and 3681.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore sits at the top of the ACP range; if your load needs under 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore does the job in a smaller envelope, and there is no larger bore above 100 mm in this family. The 30 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Remember a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Order the -S code for the optional magnet if CMSE / DMSE position sensing is planned, and source the ACE100X30 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X30B
- ✓ 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 ACP100X30B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497.8 N and pull to 5154.2 N; 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, speed 30-500 mm/s, and a 1/4" PT port on the 100 mm bore.
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 short body, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap because the ACP was built to a DIN standard. Also note the magnet is only present when the -S code is ordered.
