This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X200B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X200B 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.

The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X200B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 200mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X200B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD100X200B delivers 3681.6 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 25 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This 100 mm bore model is discontinued; the current-production successor is the ACED100X200, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters on wide gantries and heavy press fixtures. At 0.5 MPa plan on roughly 2209 N of usable work, and with a 2:1 margin it lifts about 188 kg vertically. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the male rod thread (B code) is M16x1.5 with a 1/4" PT port.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X200B (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.
| 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).
| ACPD | DIN compact cylinder (double-rod, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 100 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×200 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (adjustable stroke).
The 3681.6 N rod-side force in both directions suits stamping and riveting heads on a 200 mm stroke where the workpiece sits between two rods.
With about 188 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the through-rod carries a gripper on one end and a position flag on the other.
Equal push and pull at 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa lets one cylinder eject and retract heavy bins without a return spring or second actuator.
For 200 mm strokes needing equal force both ways, this 100 mm bore gives 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa; step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for lighter presses or confirm from datasheet for larger needs. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this code has none. Order the ACED100X200 as the current drop-in and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal in each direction: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Order the ACED100X200, the current-production ISO 21287 successor (swap the P for an E). It matches the same bore, stroke and force class, but because the ACP is DIN-standard you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. FA/FB flange and LB foot brackets bolt to the ACED face.
