This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X125S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X125S 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 ACPD100X125S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X125S 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 ACED100X125S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X125S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the discontinued ACPD100X125S pushes and pulls with identical force: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 100 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the piston at each end. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 compact build, roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into heavy presses, gantries and clamping fixtures where a full-length body will not fit. As a planning figure, treat about 2209 N (roughly 112 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin) as the usable output at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke detection. Note the ACPD family is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X125, same bore, stroke and force class - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X125S (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 ACPD100X125S Is Used
Baler ram guidance
The through-rod on both covers keeps the 100 mm piston aligned under the 3681.6 N compaction force, resisting the side load a single-rod ram sees in a small recycling baler.
Pallet pusher with rear sensor flag
In a warehouse pusher station, the back-end rod carries a flag past a DMSE switch (enabled by the fitted -S magnet) so the PLC confirms full retract without extra hardware.
Synced press fixtures
Two units mounted one from each side of a fixture plate give equal 5154.2 N clamping at 0.7 MPa from either direction, ideal for symmetric forming or riveting dies.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X125S with the ACED100X125S
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the ACPD range: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa both ways. If your load needs under 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore does the same job cheaper; if you need beyond 3681.6 N, no larger ACPD exists, so step to a larger ACE or a different series. The 125 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and this -S version already includes the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACED100X125 as the current replacement and verify mounting dimensions against the datasheet.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X125S
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X125S FAQ
Push and pull are identical because a rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family. The current drop-in is the ACED100X125 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same 100 mm bore, 125 mm stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping since the ACP is DIN-standard. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly; fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the piston at each end, and the female rod thread is M16x1.5 with a 1/4" PT port.
