This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X10SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X10SB 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 ACPD100X10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X10SB 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 ACED100X10SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X10SB
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD100X10SB pushes and pulls with identical force - 3681.6 N each way at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa - because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 10 mm stroke suits short indexing moves, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end and the speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, cutting roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into dense presses and clamping stations. For planning, count on about 2200 N of real work at 0.5 MPa - roughly 225 kg of vertical lift with margin - rather than the full rating. Note this model is discontinued: the current drop-in is ACED100X10, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X10SB (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 ACPD100X10SB Is Used
Short-stroke press station
The 10 mm stroke and 3681.6 N both-way force suit a compact crimping or staking head on an electronics assembly line where a full-length cylinder cannot fit.
Symmetric push-pull fixture
With equal force in each direction and a male-threaded rod on both ends, one cylinder can clamp a machined housing from either side in a CNC pallet fixture.
Position-flagged gantry stop
The rear through-rod carries a flag for CMSE or DMSE switches (this -S model has the magnet), confirming a 10 mm indexing move on an automated transfer unit.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X10SB with the ACED100X10SB
At 3681.6 N per side, the 100 mm bore is the top of the ACPD range; if your load needs less, the 80 mm bore delivers 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa on the same short body. The 10 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm standard maximum for this bore, so no made-to-order build is required. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted for end-position sensing, and the B code gives a male 25 mm rod thread with a 1/4" PT port. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Order ACED100X10 as the current-production replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X10SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X10SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal each way: 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) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family. The current drop-in is ACED100X10 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same 100 mm bore, 10 mm stroke and force class. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping it into an existing fixture.
