This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X100 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X100 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 ACPD100X100
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X100 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X100 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X100
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod through both covers, the ACPD100X100 delivers 3681.6 N in either direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 100 mm bore on a 100 mm stroke gives 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa and up to 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa, equal push and pull. The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length roughly half that of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it suits heavy gantries and press fixtures with tight envelopes.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag while the front rod drives the tool. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends and travel runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Plan on about 2200 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 188 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ISO 21287 ACED100X100, so confirm mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X100 (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 ACPD100X100 Is Used
Press fixture return
The 3681.6 N reverse stroke ejects stamped aluminium brackets from a die on the return run, matching the forward force so the tool clears every cycle.
Gantry Z-lift
A packaging line gantry uses the 100 mm stroke to lift about 188 kg of tooling vertically with a 2:1 margin, the through-rod keeping the head square.
Reciprocating conveyor pusher
Rods on both covers let a panel-transfer unit push cartons forward and pull the carriage back with equal 5154.2 N force at 0.7 MPa, no separate return cylinder.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X100 with the ACED100X100
Size around the 3681.6 N figure at 0.5 MPa; if your load needs less, the ACPD80X100 offers 2356.2 N in the same stroke, and there is no larger bore in the family, so step to the ACED range or a bigger frame for more force. The piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. This unit has no magnet fitted; order the -S code if you need CMSE or DMSE switches. Mount via FA/FB flange or LB foot on the ISO 21287 face, and specify the ACED100X100 as the replacement since ACPD is out of production.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X100
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X100 FAQ
Yes, force is equal in both directions because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa you get 3681.6 N, at 0.7 MPa you get 5154.2 N, and the maximum is 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" port serves both chambers.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family. The current drop-in is the ISO 21287 ACED100X100, which swaps the P for an E and matches the same 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke and force class with the short compact body. Because the ACP was built to a DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and your FA/FB or LB bracket fit before you swap. This unit also has no magnet, so if you need CMSE or DMSE sensing on the replacement, order the ACED with the optional -S magnet code.
