This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X45B, 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 ACP100X45B
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X45B 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 ACE100X45B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X45B
Double acting and built to the DIN-standard compact format, the ACP100X45B drives a 25 mm hard-chrome rod through a 45 mm stroke from a hard-anodized aluminium body. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N, rising to 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into heavy press jigs and gantry clamps that cannot spare the length.
Plan on about 2356 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - roughly 240 kg of vertical lift with a sensible margin - rather than the full 3927 N rating. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends simply soften end-of-travel; they never hold a load, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where position must survive air loss. This model is discontinued: the current direct is the ACE100X45, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X45B (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 ACE100X45B 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 ACP100X45B Is Used
Pneumatic press for aluminium crimping
A short-stroke 100 mm bore pressing terminal crimps or rivets gains 3927 N at 0.5 MPa within a 45 mm working stroke, and the compact body fits inside the press head where a full-length cylinder would not.
Pallet-stacker clamp actuation
Clamping loaded pallets against a backrest needs high force over a short travel; 3681.6 N of pull at 0.5 MPa retracts the gripper, and the 1/4" PT ports keep plumbing simple on mobile equipment.
Injection-mould gate shut-off slide
Mould-side slides near the tie-bar-free platen area demand a short body; about 240 kg of practical vertical capability and 30-500 mm/s speed suit fast gate insertions between mould plates.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X45B with the ACE100X45B
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the ACP range: 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa where an 80 mm bore delivers 2513.3 N and there is no larger ACP step up. If your load needs under 2500 N, the ACP80X45B saves space and air; if you need the full tonne-class force, stay at 100 mm. The B code gives a male 25 mm rod thread and the port is 1/4" PT. FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB and FTC mounts bolt to the standard face, and ordering the -S code adds the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. The ACP100X45B is discontinued - order the ACE100X45 as the current-production equivalent and verify ISO 21287 hole patterns first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X45B
- ✓ 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 ACP100X45B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 5497.8 N and 5154.2 N; theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For real work, size around roughly 2356 N (about 240 kg vertical lift) so seals, friction and pressure drop are covered. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
Order the ACE100X45, the ISO 21287 successor with the same 100 mm bore, 45 mm stroke and force class; confirm the mounting hole pattern before swapping because the ACP follows the DIN-standard face. For position feedback, the -S suffix adds the optional magnet that accepts CMSE / DMSE switches - without that code there is no magnet in the piston. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts carry over within the ACE family.
