This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X10 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X10 in place of this model. 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 ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X10
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X10 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X10 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X10
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD100X10 delivers 3681.6 N in either direction at 0.5 MPa (5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa) because both strokes work on the rod-side area of its 100 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Its short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses, clamping bridges and gantries where a full-length body will not fit.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers at each end, and a 1/4" port; it runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speeds of 30-500 mm/s. Plan on roughly 2209 N (about 225 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, and note the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X10, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X10 (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 | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5154 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 751 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

Where the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X10 Is Used
Short-stroke press station
A 10 mm throw pushing 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa suits marking, staking or snap-fit presses on electronics assembly lines where the compact body fits inside the press frame.
Symmetric clamping bridge
With a rod on each cover, one cylinder can clamp a fixture from both faces with equal 3681.6 N force, ideal for machining jigs holding aluminium housings.
End-of-travel flag sensing
The rear through-rod can drive a flag past a CMSE or DMSE switch (when the -S magnet is ordered) to confirm full retraction on packaging machine tooling.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X10 with the ACED100X10
At 10 mm stroke this is a short-throw, high-force pick: choose the ACPD100X10 when you need 3681.6 N both ways at 0.5 MPa in a tight envelope. If the job needs less, the 80 mm bore gives 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa; if more, step up is not available in this family, so consider a larger ACE bore. Mounting is FA/FB flange or LB foot on the ISO 21287 face, with I/Y rod knuckles to suit. The magnet is not fitted on this code; order the -S variant if you want CMSE / DMSE switches. Replacement: ACED100X10.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X10
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X10 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa on the rod-side area of the 100 mm bore, with a maximum of 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port 1/4", rod thread M16x1.5 female.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting. The ACPD100X10 is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X10 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
