This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X175LB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X175LB 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 ACPD100X175LB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X175LB 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 ACED100X175LB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X175LB
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP pattern, the ACPD100X175LB pushes a 100 mm bore through a 175 mm stroke and delivers 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa in BOTH directions, because a rod exits each cover and both strokes work on the rod-side area. At 0.7 MPa that rises to 5154.2 N either way. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag or a second tool. Foot (LB) mounting bolts to standard fixtures.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into heavy gantries, press fixtures and machine guards where a full-length body will not fit. A fixed TPU bumper pads both ends, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, and speeds run 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). In practice, plan on about 2209 N (roughly 225 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 187 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note: this model is DISCONTINUED - the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X175; confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X175LB (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 ACPD100X175LB Is Used
Baling press platen drive
The 3681.6 N bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa compacts scrap or packaging on both strokes, and the 175 mm stroke covers a full bale cycle inside a short frame.
CNC fixture clamp-and-return
A rod on each cover lets one end clamp the workpiece while the rear rod trips a limit flag, all from one cylinder on LB feet bolted to the machine table.
Bottle-line guide rail actuator
Equal force both directions centers or releases guide rails symmetrically at up to 500 mm/s, and the through-rod keeps the rail carrier from rotating under side load.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X175LB with the ACED100X175LB
At this bore size the step either side is wide: the 80 mm ACPD80 gives 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa both ways, while the 100 mm unit here doubles that to 3681.6 N - so if your press or clamp needs under 2300 N, the 80 mm saves air and cost. The 175 mm stroke sits 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; add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. This unit ships with a female M16x1.5 rod thread, PT ports (1/4"), LB foot mounting and no magnet - order the -S code if you want CMSE / DMSE switch capability. For new designs, specify the ACED100X175 instead, the current ISO 21287 successor.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X175LB
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X175LB FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area. Output is 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, equal push and pull, with a maximum of 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.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family. The current-production drop-in is the ACED100X175 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same 100 mm bore, 175 mm stroke and force class with a matching mounting family. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your LB foot drilling before you swap.
