This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X45SFA, 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 ACP100X45SFA
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X45SFA 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 ACE100X45SFA (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X45SFA
A double acting compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard short-body format, the ACP100X45SFA delivers 3927 N of push force and 3681.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa from a 100 mm bore with a 45 mm stroke. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 25 mm S45C hard-chrome rod, and the FA flange ordered with this model bolts the cylinder face-flat to a fixture. Because the ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into clamping stations and press heads where a full-length body simply will not fit.
This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling without any external brackets. At 0.5 MPa the push force works out to roughly 400 kgf, and applying the usual 60% duty rule leaves about 240 kg of real vertical work capacity per cycle. Note that the ACP family is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACE100X45 in the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X45SFA (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 ACE100X45SFA 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 ACP100X45SFA Is Used
Pneumatic press head
With 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa (about 5497 N at 0.7 MPa), the 100 mm bore drives light forming, staking and marking presses on short 45 mm strokes.
Fixture clamping on machining centres
The FA flange mounts the cylinder flat against a jig plate, and the short ISO 21287-class body keeps the clamp stack inside tight fixture envelopes.
Heavy gate and chute actuation
Pull force of 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa swings heavy slide gates and diverters in bulk-handling lines, with CMSE or DMSE switches confirming end positions via the -S magnet.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X45SFA with the ACE100X45SFA
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the ACP range: 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa against 2513 N from an 80 mm bore and 1558 N from a 63 mm bore, so step down a size if your load is under 250 kgf. The 45 mm stroke suits short clamping and pressing moves; bore 100 takes standard strokes up to 300 mm if you later need more travel. Keep in mind the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. The FA flange here gives a rigid face mount; the ACE100X45 is the current replacement to quote.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X45SFA
- ✓ 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 ACP100X45SFA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 3927 N and pulls with 3681.6 N. At 0.7 MPa the figures rise to 5497.8 N push and 5154.2 N pull. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 800.9 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
No - the ACP family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is the ACE100X45, an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class with a matching FA flange family. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint.
