This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X150S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X150S 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 ACPD100X150S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X150S 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 ACED100X150S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X150S
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP pattern, the ACPD100X150S pushes a 100 mm bore through a 150 mm stroke and delivers 3681.6 N in BOTH directions at 0.5 MPa, because a 25 mm rod exits each cover and both strokes work on the rod-side area. At 0.7 MPa that rises to 5154.2 N each way. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses, gantries and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or drive a second station. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto the hard-anodized aluminium body. Running 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), it ends each stroke on a fixed TPU bumper. Note for planning: at 0.5 MPa plan on roughly 2209 N (about 225 kg) of real work, and with a 2:1 margin it lifts about 112 kg vertically. This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X150.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X150S (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 ACPD100X150S Is Used
Baler and compactor rams
The 5154.2 N per side at 0.7 MPa gives a recycling baler or scrap compactor equal force on the working and return stroke, and the 25 mm through-rod takes the side load of an off-center ram.
Pallet stacking press
With about 225 kg of usable force at 0.5 MPa, the 150 mm stroke seats cartons or totes on a warehouse palletizing line, and the fitted magnet with CMSE switches confirms top-of-stroke.
Twin-station fixture clamp
A rod on each cover lets the rear rod drive a second clamp or carry a flag for DMSE switches, so one 100 mm cylinder serves both sides of a machining fixture.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X150S with the ACED100X150S
At 3681.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore sits at the top of the ACPD range; if your load needs under 1458.1 N, the 63 mm bore costs less, and there is no larger bore in this family. The 150 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 100, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order build. Remember 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 fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACED100X150 instead: it is the current ISO 21287 successor in the same bore, stroke and force class, but confirm its mounting dimensions before swapping because the ACP is DIN-standard.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X150S
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X150S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, output is identical both ways: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa on each stroke, with a maximum of 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area since a 25 mm rod exits both covers. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed 30-500 mm/s. In practice, plan on about 2209 N (roughly 225 kg) of usable force at 0.5 MPa, or about 112 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
The ACPD family is no longer in production. The current drop-in is the ACED100X150, the ISO 21287 successor with 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 was built to a DIN-standard face. Like this unit, the ACED uses a fixed TPU bumper at each end, takes FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting, and carries the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
