This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X175SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X175SB 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 ACPD100X175SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X175SB 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 ACED100X175SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X175SB
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder, the ACPD100X175SB pushes a 25 mm rod out of both covers, so thrust is identical on every stroke: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions because both sides work on the rod-side area. The male rod thread (B code) and the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches come as ordered, and the 175 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm standard range for this bore. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production successor is the ACED100X175 in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The short ISO 21287-class body cuts mounting length by roughly half compared with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is what lets a 100 mm bore fit into a press frame or gantry that a full-length cylinder cannot. At 0.5 MPa the practical vertical figure is about 188 kg with a 2:1 margin (375 kgf raw), so match that against the real part weight before ordering. Hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, speed range 30-500 mm/s.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X175SB (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 ACPD100X175SB Is Used
Double-sided press fixture
The 3681.6 N equal thrust in both directions lets one 175 mm stroke clamp or form from either cover on a stamping jig, with the second rod carrying a position flag.
Bidirectional pusher on a pallet line
A 100 mm bore pushing 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa diverts heavy pallets left or right from the same cylinder body, no reverse mounting needed.
Gantry eject for machined housings
The short body saves about 50% of the length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the 175 mm stroke ejects castings from a tight machine tool enclosure.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X175SB with the ACED100X175SB
Size against neighbours: bore 80 gives 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa both ways, bore 100 gives 3681.6 N, so step down if the load is under about 2200 N of real work. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag - useful on symmetric fixtures. Remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost; 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. Order the ACED100X175 instead, and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X175SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X175SB FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal in both directions: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke, with a maximum of 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" port depends only on the 100 mm bore.
Order the ACED100X175, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 100 mm bore, 175 mm stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard. The fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches carry over in the range.
