This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X10S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X10S 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 ACPD100X10S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X10S 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 ACED100X10S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X10S
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder in the discontinued AirTAC ACPD series, the 100X10S carries a 100 mm bore with a 10 mm stroke and pushes 3681.6 N in BOTH directions at 0.5 MPa (5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa), because the rod-side area is identical on each side of the through-rod. The 25 mm rod exits both covers, so the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool, and it resists rotation and side load better than a plain single-rod design. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and the hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
At 0.5 MPa, plan on roughly 2209 N of real work rather than the full 3681.6 N rating; expressed vertically, that is about 375 kg of lift at full force, or roughly 188 kg with a 2:1 margin. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for end-position sensing. This model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ISO 21287 ACED100X10 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X10S (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 ACPD100X10S Is Used
Press-head return on a stamping fixture
The through-rod pulls the press head back with the same 3681.6 N it pushes with, so no separate return cylinder is needed on the 10 mm stroke.
Position-flag drive on a packaging line
The rear rod carries a flag past CMSE / DMSE switches (enabled by the fitted -S magnet) to confirm slide position in a 10 mm indexing move.
Short-stroke clamping in a welding gantry
The short body, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fits inside the gantry frame while delivering about 188 kg of vertical lift with margin.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X10S with the ACED100X10S
For a 10 mm stroke with equal force both ways, this 100 mm bore delivers 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa; step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for lighter clamping, or note that 100 mm is the largest bore in the series. The female M16x1.5 rod thread suits standard rod knuckles, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the compact face. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Order the ACED100X10 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X10S
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X10S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is EQUAL both ways (rod-side area): 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, 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 1/4" port matches the 100 mm bore.
No - the ACPD series is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is the ACED100X10 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard. The fitted -S magnet carries over as an option on the ACE, and the fixed TPU bumpers at both ends remain part of the design.
