This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X5SB, 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 ACP100X5SB
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X5SB 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 ACE100X5SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X5SB
Double acting compact cylinder with a 100 mm bore and a very short 5 mm stroke, the ACP100X5SB delivers 3927 N of push and 3681.6 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome 25 mm rod keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into dense clamping plates and machine frames where a full-length body cannot. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the tube.
For general work, treat about 2356 N (60% of the push rating) as the usable force. The rod end carries a male thread (B code) and the ports are 1/4". Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ISO 21287 ACE100X5, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN standard.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X5SB (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 ACE100X5SB 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 ACP100X5SB Is Used
Final clamp seating on welding fixtures
The 5 mm stroke is ideal for the last few millimetres of clamp travel on automotive weld jigs, where the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa seats the clamp arm hard against the panel without over-travel.
Part presence and locating pins
Short-throw pop-up locating pins in machining centres use the 100 mm bore to hold position against cutting loads, with the fitted -S magnet feeding CMSE or DMSE switches to confirm pin-up or pin-down.
Press-assist in heavy stamping cells
As a compact assist ram beside a stamping press, the cylinder delivers up to 800.9 kgf theoretical force at 1.0 MPa in a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting tight bolster space.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X5SB with the ACE100X5SB
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the ACP range: 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa versus 2513 N for the 80 mm bore, so step up only if your fixture truly needs the extra force. The 5 mm stroke suits short-throw locating, part presence and final clamp seating rather than long transfer moves. Both ends carry a fixed TPU bumper, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Because the piston drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Mounting brackets from the FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot and FTC family bolt to the same face, and the male rod thread (B) accepts I/Y knuckles directly. Order ACE100X5 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X5SB
- ✓ 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 ACP100X5SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497.8 N and pull to 5154.2 N, with a theoretical maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is a double acting 100 mm bore compact cylinder with 5 mm stroke, 25 mm rod, 1/4" ports, PT thread type, male rod thread (B code), operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, and air filtered to 40 um. It is discontinued; the replacement is ACE100X5.
The ISO 21287-class short body saves about 50% of the mounting length compared with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits inside clamping plates, guards and gantries where a full-length body will not. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches clamp onto the tube for end-of-stroke signalling. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC) and I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the face. Since the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions of the ACE100X5 before swapping.
