This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X150 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X150 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 ACPD100X150
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X150 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 150mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X150 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X150
This discontinued AirTAC ACPD100X150 is a double acting compact cylinder with a through rod that exits both covers, so the 100 mm bore delivers the same 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa (5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa) in each direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 25 mm rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod stub can carry a sensor flag on a gantry or press fixture. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is a short ISO 21287-class build that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Practical sizing: plan on roughly 2209 N of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, which is about 225 kg - so with a 2:1 margin it lifts about 112 kg vertically. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the rod ends in a female M16x1.5 thread with 1/4" PT ports. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X150, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X150 (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 ACPD100X150 Is Used
Heavy press fixture clamping
The symmetric 3681.6 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa clamps steel weldments from both sides of a machining fixture, with the 150 mm stroke clearing part loading.
Balanced lift column
A through rod on a pallet elevator gives equal force up and down, and the rear rod can carry a position flag for the CMSE switch when the -S magnet is ordered.
Center-guided pusher
On a bottling line transfer, the 25 mm double rod resists side load while pushing about 112 kg-class loads vertically or laterally at 30-500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X150 with the ACED100X150
At 3681.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore suits heavy clamping and lifting; step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for lighter loads or accept that there is no larger ACPD bore. Because 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 or LB foot mounting bolts to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - this code has no magnet fitted. Since the ACPD is discontinued, order the ACED100X150 as the current replacement and verify the mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X150
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X150 FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, in either direction, with a maximum of 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family. The current-production drop-in is the ACED100X150 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same 100 mm bore, 150 mm stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP followed a DIN-standard layout.
