This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X45, 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 ACP100X45
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X45 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 45mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE100X45 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X45
The ACP100X45 is a double acting compact cylinder in the discontinued AirTAC ACP DIN-standard series, with a 100 mm bore and a short 45 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 3927 N and pulls with 3681.6 N, rising to 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa - a theoretical ceiling of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 25 mm S45C hard-chrome rod with a female M16x1.5 thread, and air is fed through a 1/4" port.
Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses and gantries where a full-length body will not fit. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is ACE100X45, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X45 (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 ACE100X45 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 ACP100X45 Is Used
Pneumatic press head
A 100 mm bore delivering 3927 N at 0.5 MPa suits a short-stroke bench press for staking or riveting aluminium brackets in a 45 mm working window.
Clamping fixture on a machining line
The compact body clamps steel castings inside tight jig walls where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder would overrun the fixture footprint.
Indexing pusher in a stamping cell
A 45 mm stroke indexes heavy steel blanks between die stations, with the fixed TPU bumper decelerating each end of travel at up to 500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X45 with the ACE100X45
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the ACP range: 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa versus 2513 N for an 80 mm bore, so step down only if your load is under about 150 kg equivalent. The 45 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm standard limit for this bore. Remember that a plain ACP drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the same face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches. Order ACE100X45 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X45
- ✓ 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 ACP100X45 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 3927 N and pulls with 3681.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 5497.8 N push and 5154.2 N pull. 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 ACE100X45, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 100 mm bore, 45 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. Because the ACP was built to a DIN standard, verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before the swap.
