This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X100SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X100SB 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 ACPD100X100SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X100SB 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 ACED100X100SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X100SB
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP format: a 100 mm bore with a 25 mm rod exiting BOTH covers, so the through-rod delivers 3681.6 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa) with no push-pull difference. The male rod thread (B code) and the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches are already on this code. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits heavy clamping stations and gantry risers where a full-length body will not.
Plan the real job, not the rating: at 0.5 MPa the usable push is roughly 2209 N (about 225 kg), and with a 2:1 vertical margin this cylinder lifts about 112 kg comfortably. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, 1/4" ports, and runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACED100X100, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X100SB (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 ACPD100X100SB Is Used
Press-stamping fixture
A 100 mm through-rod clamps aluminum extrusions in a stamping die at 3681.6 N per side, and the back-end rod drives a die-presence sensor flag.
Pallet lift-and-lower column
Two opposing rod ends give a symmetric lift column for 100 kg pallet trays in a warehouse elevator, with the male thread taking a clevis knuckle.
Bottling line pusher gate
The equal-force both-ways stroke indexes crates on and off a conveyor at 30-500 mm/s, with CMSE switches on the fitted magnet confirming end positions.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X100SB with the ACED100X100SB
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the ACPD range: 3681.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, versus 2356.2 N for the 80 mm bore below it. If the press or lift needs more than about 2209 N of real work, stay here; if the load is lighter, the 80 mm bore saves space and air. Remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face, the -S magnet on this code accepts CMSE / DMSE switches, and the replacement is ACED100X100 - confirm ISO 21287 dimensions before ordering.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X100SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X100SB FAQ
Because a 25 mm rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, so force 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. There is no larger push than pull on this double-rod design.
Order ACED100X100, the current-production ISO 21287 successor (swap the P for an E). It matches the same 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke and force class, but since the ACP is DIN-standard you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping it into an existing fixture.
