This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X5B, 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 ACP100X5B
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X5B 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 ACE100X5B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X5B
A double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, the ACP100X5B pairs a 100 mm bore with a very short 5 mm stroke and a male rod thread (the B code). At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N, rising to 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome 25 mm rod run on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), moving at 30-500 mm/s with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Note that this model is discontinued; the current-production successor is ACE100X5, which keeps the same bore, stroke and force class.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 5 mm clamp or press-off move can sit inside a guard or jig where a full-length body will not fit. A plain unit does not hold position when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads, and remember the magnet is only fitted when you order the optional -S code.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X5B (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 ACE100X5B 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 ACP100X5B Is Used
Press-off pin ejector
A 5 mm stroke with 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to eject a dowelled aluminium housing from a locating nest on an automotive machining line, with the short body fitting inside the fixture plate.
Heavy clamp on a welding fixture
Clamping a steel bracket against a weld jig needs about 2356 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa; the 100 mm bore covers it with margin while the compact body clears the fixture arms.
Short-travel die locator
On a stamping secondary station, a 5 mm nudge positions a blank under a sensor; with the optional -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm the located position.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X5B with the ACE100X5B
Size both ways: if 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa is far more than your clamp needs, the 80 mm bore delivers 2513.3 N at the same pressure; if you need more headroom, nothing in the ACP range exceeds the 100 mm bore, so step up to a larger ACE frame or a multi-cylinder layout. The 5 mm stroke suits locating, clamping and short eject moves rather than long transfers. Mounting choices are FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis plus CR, SDB and FTC brackets, and I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the same face. This model is discontinued - order ACE100X5 as the direct and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap, since the ACP was built to a DIN standard.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X5B
- ✓ 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 ACP100X5B 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; theoretical maximum is 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, port 1/4" PT, rod 25 mm with a male thread.
The ACP100X5B is no longer in production; the current direct is ACE100X5, the same bore, stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 family, so confirm the mounting dimensions before swapping since the ACP was DIN-standard. For position sensing, order the -S variant to get the optional magnet, then use CMSE or DMSE switches; without the -S code there is no magnet and no switch can be fitted.
