This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X175B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X175B 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 ACPD100X175B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X175B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 175mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X175B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X175B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD100X175B pushes and pulls with identical force because each stroke works on the rod-side area: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa. The 25 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod is a handy place to carry a sensor flag. Note that this model is discontinued; the current-production successor is the ACED100X175, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this bore class fits deep inside gantries and press fixtures. Practical sizing: plan on about 2209 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 112 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the male rod thread (B code) takes standard I/Y knuckles. Without the optional -S magnet no switch can be mounted; order -S to enable CMSE / DMSE sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X175B (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 ACPD100X175B Is Used
Press fixture ejector
The 3681.6 N both-ways output ejects formed aluminium housings from a die, and the front rod grips the part while the rear rod confirms return.
Pallet lift-and-lower column
With about 112 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the 175 mm stroke raises palletized bins on a packaging line conveyor stopper.
Reciprocating transfer beam
A through-rod on both covers lets a gantry push cartons forward and retract with equal 5154.2 N force at 0.7 MPa, no rotation under side load.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X175B with the ACED100X175B
At 3681.6 N per side this is the top of the ACPD range. If your load needs under 2356 N at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore does the job with a smaller footprint; if you need more, no larger ACPD exists, so step to a longer-stroke or higher-pressure solution. The 175 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 100, so it is a catalogue item. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Match FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts to your fixture, and order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE position sensing is planned. For new designs, specify the ACED100X175 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X175B
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X175B FAQ
No - the double-rod design gives equal force both directions because both strokes use the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa you get 3681.6 N, at 0.7 MPa you get 5154.2 N, and the theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 750.8 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, running on air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s.
Order the ACED100X175, the ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 100 mm bore, 175 mm stroke and force class, and its short body still saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Because the ACP was DIN-standard, verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before the swap.
