This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X200S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X200S 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 ACPD100X200S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X200S 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 ACED100X200S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X200S
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP footprint, the ACPD100X200S pushes a 100 mm piston through a 200 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, output is identical in both directions: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, equal push and pull. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod run at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag while the front rod does the work. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight press fixtures and gantries. In practice, plan on about 2209 N (roughly 225 kg) of usable vertical force at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X200, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X200S (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 ACPD100X200S Is Used
Heavy press and forming fixtures
With 3681.6 N available in both directions at 0.5 MPa, the double rod can clamp a steel workpiece on the forward stroke and eject it on the return without a larger cylinder.
Balanced reciprocating slides
The through-rod on a 200 mm stroke drives a conveyor pusher or indexing slide symmetrically, resisting rotation and side load at 30-500 mm/s.
Position-monitored lifting gantries
The fitted -S magnet feeds CMSE or DMSE switches for end-of-stroke confirmation, while the rear rod carries a flag for mid-stroke detection on the fixture.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X200S with the ACED100X200S
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the ACPD range, delivering 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa in both directions. If your load needs less, the 80 mm bore gives 2356.2 N at the same pressure; there is no larger bore in the family. The 200 mm stroke sits inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalog item, not a made-to-order length. The S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. For new designs, order the ACED100X200 instead, which matches this bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X200S
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X200S FAQ
Yes. As a double-rod cylinder, both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa. The maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 750.8 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family. The current drop-in is the ACED100X200, the ISO 21287 successor with the same 100 mm bore, 200 mm stroke and force class. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, and check that your FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets line up.
