This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X100B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X100B 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 ACPD100X100B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X100B 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 ACED100X100B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X100B
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD100X100B pushes and pulls with the same 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa (5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa) because each stroke works on the rod-side area. The 25 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag while the front rod does the work. This 100 mm bore model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ISO 21287 ACED100X100.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses, clamping gantries and machine frames where a full-length body will not fit. At 0.5 MPa plan on about 2209 N (roughly 225 kg of push) for real work, which lifts about 188 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries 1/4" PT ports, and the B code gives a male rod thread.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X100B (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 ACPD100X100B Is Used
Heavy press or forming fixture
The 3681.6 N output at 0.5 MPa both ways suits a 100 mm-stroke stamping or forming head on a sheet-metal line, where equal push and pull retracts the tool under load.
Reciprocating conveyor pusher
A rod on each cover lets one side index pallets while the rear rod carries a flag for a position sensor, moving about 188 kg vertically equivalent at a 2:1 margin.
Lift-and-lower gantry station
The 25 mm through-rod handles side load on a packaging gantry lowering cases, with the fixed TPU bumper decelerating the stroke at each end.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X100B with the ACED100X100B
Choose this 100 mm bore when your fixture needs over 3600 N in both directions on a 100 mm stroke; the 80 mm bore delivers 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa, so step up only if that falls short. The through-rod suits symmetric mounts and anti-rotation fixtures, but the piston will drift if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches (this code has no magnet). Order ACED100X100 as the current replacement and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X100B
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X100B FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal both ways: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 100 mm stroke is within the 300 mm standard range for this bore.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family; the current drop-in is the ISO 21287 ACED100X100, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard, and order the -S code if you need the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
