This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X5, 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 ACP100X5
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X5 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 5mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE100X5 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X5
A double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder, the ACP100X5 pairs a 100 mm bore with a very short 5 mm stroke and a 25 mm hard-chrome rod. 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, with a theoretical maximum 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, so it slots into presses, clamping fixtures and gantries where a full-length body simply will not fit.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and the rod ends in a female M16x1.5 thread with 1/4" PT ports. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is the ACE100X5, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X5 (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 ACE100X5 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 ACP100X5 Is Used
Pneumatic press staging
A 5 mm stroke is ideal for a short pre-clamp or indicator pop-up on a 100 mm bore press bench, where 3927 N at 0.5 MPa seats a part before the main stroke closes.
Fixture part-present pin
On CNC machining fixtures, the short body lifts a locating pin 5 mm to release or present a casting, with about 200 kg of vertical lift capability at half the rated force.
Case stopper on packing lines
Deploy a stop or gate blade against cartons on a conveyor with the 100 mm bore's 3927 N push, mounting the cylinder flush under the frame thanks to the short ISO 21287-class body.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X5 with the ACE100X5
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the ACP range: 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa against 2513 N for the 80 mm bore, so step down to 80 if your load is under about 1500 N of working force. The 5 mm stroke suits short-throw clamping and part-present tasks; anything up to 300 mm is standard for this bore. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB and FTC mountings bolt straight on, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACE100X5 as the current direct successor.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X5
- ✓ 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 ACP100X5 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N; at 0.7 MPa, 5497.8 N push and 5154.2 N pull; theoretical maximum 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um. It is double acting with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, and the model is discontinued - the ACE100X5 is the current replacement.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight guards and fixture pockets. Switches are possible only with the optional -S magnet code, which allows CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches; this standard version has no magnet. Mountings include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB and FTC, and the female M16x1.5 rod thread takes standard rod knuckles.
