This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X225 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X225 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 ACPD100X225
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X225 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 225mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X225 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X225
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD100X225 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 in either direction. The 25 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mounting face, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends and travel runs 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short build that saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters on wide gantries and press frames where every millimetre of envelope counts. In practice, plan on about 2209 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift roughly 187 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X225, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X225 (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 ACPD100X225 Is Used
Reciprocating press table
The equal 3681.6 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa drives a stamping or clinching table both ways on one valve, with the 225 mm stroke clearing the die between cycles.
Pallet lift-and-lower column
With about 187 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the through-rod carries a lift plate on both rod ends for a symmetric, rotation-resistant column.
Gantry clamp bar actuation
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside a CNC gantry guard where a full-length profile cylinder will not, and the rear rod can carry a flag for the optional -S magnet and CMSE switches.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X225 with the ACED100X225
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the ACPD range, delivering 3681.6 N both ways at 0.5 MPa; step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) if the load is lighter, or move to a larger-bore series for more thrust. The 225 mm stroke sits inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order build. Remember that a plain through-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 mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches (this code has no magnet fitted). For new designs, order the ACED100X225 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X225
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X225 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means 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, with a peak of about 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range 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.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family; the current drop-in is the ACED100X225 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 short-body format - confirm the mounting dimensions before swapping. The ACPD100X225 itself uses a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome 25 mm rod, female M16x1.5 rod thread, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, and the magnet is only fitted when the -S code is ordered, enabling CMSE / DMSE switches.
