This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X50SFA, 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 ACP100X50SFA
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X50SFA 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 ACE100X50SFA (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X50SFA
A double acting compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard short-body format, the ACP100X50SFA pairs a 100 mm bore with a 50 mm stroke and an FA flange already specified in the order code. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 3927 N and pulls with 3681.6 N, rising to 5497.8 N on the extend stroke at 0.7 MPa - enough headroom for heavy clamping and pressing fixtures. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome 25 mm rod runs on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and strokes at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses, weld fixtures and gantry clamps where a full-length body will not reach. Because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke signalling. One practical planning figure: at 0.5 MPa the usable push is roughly 2356 N, which is about 240 kg of vertical working load once a 40% margin is kept back. Note that this ACP model is discontinued - the current-production direct is ACE100X50, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X50SFA (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 ACE100X50SFA 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 ACP100X50SFA Is Used
Hydraulic press pre-clamp
The 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa pre-clamps steel plate stacks in a fabrication shop before a hydraulic press closes, with the 50 mm stroke covering stack height variation.
Weld fixture hold-down
On an automotive subassembly weld line, the FA flange mounts the cylinder over a fixture table to hold brackets down through the weld cycle, with DMSE switches confirming full clamp.
Pallet gate actuator
In a warehouse conveyor line, the short body swings heavy pallet stop gates where a full-length profile cylinder would foul the guard rail, lifting gate sections of about 200 kg with margin.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X50SFA with the ACE100X50SFA
At this bore size the step either way is large: a 63 mm bore delivers 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa while the 100 mm gives 3927 N, so if your fixture needs under 1500 N the smaller bore saves air and cost. For heavier work at the same stroke, the next step up does not exist in this family - 100 mm is the largest bore. Keep in mind the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. The FA flange in this code bolts to the standard ISO 21287 face, and the -S magnet is already included for CMSE / DMSE switching. Order ACE100X50 as the current replacement and verify mounting dimensions against the ISO 21287 drawing.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X50SFA
- ✓ 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 ACP100X50SFA FAQ
Push is 3927 N and pull is 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497.8 N. Theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 800.9 kgf. This model is discontinued - the current-production direct is ACE100X50, same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP follows the older DIN-standard layout.
The compact aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with aluminium covers threaded onto the body and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that simply decelerates the piston. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body for end-of-stroke detection. Port is 1/4" PT and the female rod thread is M16x1.5.
