This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X15S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X15S 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 ACPD100X15S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X15S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 15mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X15S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X15S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the discontinued ACPD100X15S 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 25 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly on the body.
The short ISO 21287-class body cuts mounting length by roughly 50% versus an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight presses and fixtures. A hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Production has ended: the current drop-in is the ACED100X15, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a sizing guide, plan on about 2209 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 187 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X15S (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 ACPD100X15S Is Used
Bench press for aluminum heat-sink staking
The 3681.6 N both-way force at 0.5 MPa stakes press-fit pins into heat sinks, and the 15 mm stroke suits short-travel pressing on a compact fixture.
Reciprocating shuttle on a packaging line
A rod on each cover lets the through-rod drive a push-pull shuttle with equal 5154.2 N force at 0.7 MPa in both directions, with the rear rod carrying a position flag.
Clamping gantry in a CNC fixture
The short body, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, clamps turbine-blade blanks inside a tight gantry where a full-length cylinder cannot fit.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X15S with the ACED100X15S
At 3681.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore sits at the top of the ACPD range; if the job needs less, the 80 mm bore delivers 2356.2 N the same way, and nothing in the family exceeds this bore. The 15 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm standard limit for bore 100. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting bolts to the ISO 21287 face, and the -S magnet on this model accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. For new projects, order the ACED100X15 instead, matching bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X15S
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X15S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, both on the rod-side area. Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 750.8 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a 1/4" port and M16x1.5 female rod thread.
This model is no longer in production. The current-production replacement is the ACED100X15, the ISO 21287 ACE with the same 100 mm bore, 15 mm stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN standard, and check FA/FB flange or LB foot compatibility against your fixture.
