This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X110B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X110B 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.

The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X110B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 110mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X110B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the discontinued ACPD100X110B pushes and pulls with identical force because each stroke works on the rod-side area: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The 25 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s and fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short build that saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses, gantries and heavy jigs where a full-length body will not fit. In practice, plan on about 2209 N (roughly 225 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 187 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X110 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 ACED100X110B (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.
| 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).
| ACPD | DIN compact cylinder (double-rod, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 100 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×110 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (adjustable stroke).
The equal 3681.6 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa clamps and unclamps thick steel weldments on machining fixtures with the same rated force in both directions.
A 110 mm stroke at 30-500 mm/s ejects stamped housings from a die, with the rear rod doubling as a mount for a position-flag sensor.
Swinging or lifting heavy pallet-line gates needs symmetric force; the through-rod mount resists the side load of a 187 kg-class vertical gate leaf.
At 3681.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 100 mm bore suits heavy clamping and lifting; step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for lighter frames or accept that the 100 mm is the top of the range. The 110 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalog item. Choose the B male rod thread for external knuckles, FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting to match the fixture, and remember a plain through-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Since the ACPD is discontinued, order the ACED100X110 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 footprint first.
Replacement checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, output is identical both ways: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, equal to about 750.8 kgf at the 1.0 MPa maximum. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, running on air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s and -20 to +70 C.
No - the ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is the ACED100X110 (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 swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard. If you need position sensing, the replacement accepts switches where the original required the optional -S magnet code with CMSE / DMSE switches.
