This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X150SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X150SB 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 ACPD100X150SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X150SB 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 ACED100X150SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X150SB
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD100X150SB 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. The 100 mm bore carries a 25 mm through-rod with a male thread (B code), 1/4" ports, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X150 in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The short ISO 21287 body cuts mounting length by roughly half versus an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into wide presses, gantry clamps and machine frames where a full-length body will not reach. At 0.5 MPa, plan on about 2208 N (roughly 225 kg) of usable vertical work rather than the full rating - enough headroom to lift a 110 kg die or fixture with a 2:1 margin. The fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke signalling, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X150SB (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 ACPD100X150SB Is Used
Press frame synchronisation
The through-rod lets a 3681.6 N force act on both sides of a stamping or riveting frame, with the rear rod carrying a sensor flag for stroke feedback at 30-500 mm/s.
Pallet clamp and release arms
Equal push and pull from the double rod closes and opens clamp arms on a packaging line with the same 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, no direction bias to tune out.
Die cart lift column
A 150 mm stroke lifting a 110 kg die or fixture vertically with margin, guided by the 25 mm rod on both ends against side load.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X150SB with the ACED100X150SB
At 3681.6 N per direction this is the top of the ACPD range; if your load needs under 2356 N at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore saves space, while nothing in the family out-pushes the 100 mm. Note the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. Choose FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting to suit the fixture, and keep the -S magnet if CMSE / DMSE sensing is wired in. Order the ACED100X150 instead: it is the current ISO 21287 successor, so verify mounting dimensions before the swap.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X150SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X150SB FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal both ways: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa on the 100 mm bore, peaking at about 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, -20 to +70 C.
This model is discontinued; the current drop-in is the ACED100X150 (P swapped for E), matching the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping since the ACP is DIN-standard. The body is hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, 1/4" ports, and the fitted -S magnet works with CMSE / DMSE switches.
