This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X150B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X150B 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 ACPD100X150B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X150B 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 ACED100X150B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X150B
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD100X150B pushes with 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 of the 100 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mounting face, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag or a second tool. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and the piston travels 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into dense presses and gantries. As a planning figure, count on about 2209 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 188 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X150, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X150B (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 ACPD100X150B Is Used
Baler ram for scrap offcuts
The equal 3681.6 N stroke in both directions lets the ram compact on the way in and retract under full force, with the fixed TPU bumper absorbing end-of-travel shock at 30-500 mm/s.
Pallet stamping press head
About 188 kg of vertical lift capability at a 2:1 margin lets the press head mark cartons or pallet blocks reliably, while the through-rod keeps the head from rotating under off-center loads.
Pusher bar on a steel coil line
The rear rod drives a position flag for CMSE or DMSE switches on magnet-equipped -S builds, guiding heavy coils off the conveyor with identical force either way.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X150B with the ACED100X150B
At 3681.6 N per side 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 standard bore in this family. The 150 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. The B code gives a male 25 mm rod thread on both ends with a PT port thread. 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 and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - this unit has no magnet fitted. Order the ACED100X150 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X150B
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X150B FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so force is equal either way: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The rod is 25 mm, the port is 1/4" PT, and the male rod thread (B code) is on both ends. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family. The current-production drop-in is the ACED100X150, the ISO 21287 successor in the same bore, stroke and force class - swap the P for an E in the code. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint. If you need position sensing on the replacement, order the -S magnet code so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted.
