This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X125 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X125 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 ACPD100X125
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X125 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 125mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X125 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X125
This double acting compact cylinder carries a rod out of BOTH covers, so the 100 mm bore delivers the same 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction - both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 25 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and stroke speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight presses and gantries. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um, from -20 to +70 C. At 0.5 MPa plan on roughly 2209 N (about 225 kg) of usable vertical work rather than the full rating. Note: this model is DISCONTINUED - the current drop-in is the ACED100X125; confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X125 (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 ACPD100X125 Is Used
Double-sided press fixture
The through-rod pushes a forming die forward and ejects the part rearward with the same 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa, halving actuator count on a 125 mm stroke press station.
Reciprocating conveyor pusher
A rod on each end lets one cylinder index pallets alternately left and right on a packaging line, with the symmetric mount resisting side load at 30-500 mm/s.
Gantry flag carriage
The rear 25 mm rod carries a flag past CMSE or DMSE switches (when the -S magnet is ordered) for end-position feedback on a pick-and-place gantry.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X125 with the ACED100X125
Size between bores: a 80 mm double-rod unit gives 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while this 100 mm bore reaches 3681.6 N both ways - step up only if the load needs it. The cylinder does not hold position when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis) bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S no magnet is fitted. Order the ACED100X125 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X125
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X125 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is EQUAL in both directions: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, on the rod-side area. Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 750.8 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof.
The ACPD100X125 is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X125 (swap the P for an E) in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, and takes FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets. The magnet is the optional -S code; without it no sensor can be mounted.
