This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X125B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X125B 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 ACPD100X125B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X125B 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 ACED100X125B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X125B
Double acting with a rod exiting both covers, the ACPD100X125B is a DIN-standard compact cylinder in the largest bore of the family: 100 mm with a 25 mm rod and a 125 mm stroke. Because both strokes work on the rod-side area, output is equal in each direction - 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa either way. The 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 speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
For real-world sizing, treat roughly 2209 N (about 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa rating) as the usable force, which corresponds to lifting about 188 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into heavy jigs and gantries where a full-length body will not. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production successor is ACED100X125, and buyers should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X125B (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 ACPD100X125B Is Used
Press die transfer cart
The 3681.6 N symmetric thrust from the 100 mm bore pushes a die cart along a rail in both directions, with the rear rod carrying a position flag for the PLC.
Steel coil lifting gantry
With about 188 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the double rod handles coil clamps on a gantry where side load resistance matters.
Heavy pallet diverter on a packaging line
Equal force both ways lets the 125 mm stroke push pallets off a conveyor in either direction, and the short body fits under low guard rails.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X125B with the ACED100X125B
At 3681.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore is the top of the ACPD range - step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) if your load allows, since nothing larger exists in this series. Keep in mind that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S there is no magnet. Order ACED100X125 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 footprint.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X125B
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X125B FAQ
Output is equal both ways because the rod-side area works on each stroke: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
Order ACED100X125, the ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 100 mm bore, 125 mm stroke and force class as a drop-in, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first since the ACP was built to the DIN standard.
