This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X30S, 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 ACP100X30S
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X30S 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 ACE100X30S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X30S
A double acting compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard short-body format, the ACP100X30S pairs a 100 mm bore with a 30 mm stroke and a 25 mm hard-chrome S45C rod on a hard-anodized aluminium body. 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. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight press fixtures and gantry clamps. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke sensing.
Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACE100X30, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X30S (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 ACE100X30S 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 ACP100X30S Is Used
Clamp fixture on a CNC machining centre
The 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps steel billets in a dedicated milling fixture, and the short body fits inside the fixture base where a full-length cylinder would not.
Stamping press ejector
A 30 mm stroke ejects finished stampings from the die on a 100-ton press line, with the fixed TPU bumper absorbing the return impact at up to 500 mm/s.
Pallet strapper tension head
In a warehouse strapping machine, the 100 mm bore supplies the 240 kg-class working force needed to tension steel banding, and the -S magnet feeds position signals to the PLC.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X30S with the ACE100X30S
At this bore size the 100 mm ACP delivers 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa; if your load needs under 1559 N, the 63 mm bore is lighter and cheaper, while there is no larger standard bore in the family, so step to the ACE series for bigger frames. A plain cylinder of this type drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. This version already includes the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the same face. Since ACP is discontinued, order ACE100X30 and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X30S
- ✓ 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 ACP100X30S FAQ
Push is 3927 N and pull is 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push reaches 5497.8 N, and the theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is a double acting compact cylinder with a 100 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, 25 mm rod, 1/4" PT port, M16x1.5 female rod thread, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating pressure and 30-500 mm/s speed. The model is discontinued; ACE100X30 is the current replacement.
The DIN-standard compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into shallow fixtures and guards. The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped on for position feedback. Because ACP is discontinued, confirm the ISO 21287 dimensions of ACE100X30 before ordering the swap.
