This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X60S, 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 ACP100X60S
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X60S is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE100X60S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X60S
Double acting on both strokes, the ACP100X60S is AirTAC's DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 100 mm bore and a 60 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N, rising to 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling 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 and gantries where a full-length body cannot. Air supply runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and rod speed 30-500 mm/s.
The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto the hard-anodized aluminium body for end-of-stroke feedback. The 25 mm S45C hard-chrome rod carries a female M16x1.5 thread and the 1/4" port matches the bore. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACE100X60, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X60S (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 ACE100X60S 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 ACP100X60S Is Used
Pneumatic briquetting press
The 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa compacts metal swarf or powder into briquettes in a 60 mm-stroke die, with the short body fitting inside the press frame.
Position-verified clamping fixture
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE switches confirm full clamp on a CNC fixture, retracting in 60 mm to clear the loader arm between cycles.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X60S with the ACE100X60S
At this bore size the step either way is large: a 80 mm bore gives 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is not needed since 100 mm is the largest ACP bore. If 3927 N is far more than the job needs, drop to 80 mm and save air consumption. The 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 100, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order build. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the same face, and rod knuckles suit the female M16x1.5 thread. Remember a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Order ACE100X60 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting footprint first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X60S
- ✓ 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 ACP100X60S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder delivers 3927 N push and 3681.6 N pull; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 5497.8 N push and 5154.2 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" port serves the 100 mm bore.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACP family. The current-production successor is ACE100X60, an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same 100 mm bore, 60 mm stroke and force class with a matching short body and mounting family. Because the ACP followed the DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping. The ACE also accepts CMSE / DMSE switches where the -S magnet option is specified.
