This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X50, 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 ACP100X50
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X50 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 50mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE100X50 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X50
Double acting and built to the DIN-standard compact format, the ACP100X50 delivers 3927 N of push and 3681.6 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa - a theoretical peak of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 100 mm bore drives a 25 mm hard-chromed S45C rod through a 50 mm stroke, with air ports at 1/4" and a female M16x1.5 rod thread. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits so well into heavy clamping fixtures and press heads.
In practice, plan on about 2356 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - roughly 240 kg of real working force once you keep a margin back from the full rating. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACE100X50, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S there is no magnet fitted.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X50 (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 ACE100X50 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 ACP100X50 Is Used
Heavy press and staking heads
The 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa suits staking, riveting and crimping heads on aluminium extrusion and sheet-metal assembly lines where a 50 mm stroke is all the travel the tool needs.
Automotive fixture clamping
With about 240 kg of practical working force at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore clamps cast gearbox housings and machined brackets in transfer-line jigs without overloading the fixture.
Baling and forming stations
The 800.9 kgf theoretical class and 25 mm rod handle short-travel forming, swaging and bale-compression stations on packaging and recycling machinery.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X50 with the ACE100X50
At this bore size the step either way is large: an 80 mm bore gives 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while nothing standard exceeds 100 mm in this family, so the ACP100X50 is the top of the force range. If the job needs position holding when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve - the fixed TPU bumper only decelerates at the ends and never brakes a load. Order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE switch sensing is required. This model is discontinued; the ACE100X50 is the current replacement, so verify the ISO 21287 mounting footprint before ordering.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X50
- ✓ 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 ACP100X50 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 5497.8 N and pulls 5154.2 N. The theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. 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. A usable planning figure is about 2356 N - roughly 240 kg - of real work at 0.5 MPa.
Order the ACE100X50, the current ISO 21287 production model made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 100 mm bore, 50 mm stroke and force class, with FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounting on the standard face. Because the ACP was DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap. If you need end-position sensing, order the -S magnet code so CMSE / DMSE switches can be used.
