This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X225S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X225S 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 ACPD100X225S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X225S 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 ACED100X225S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X225S
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder: a piston rod leaves both covers, so every stroke works on the rod-side area and the force is identical pushing and pulling - 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa. The 100 mm bore drives a 25 mm hard-chrome S45C rod from each end over a 225 mm stroke, with a fixed TPU bumper at both covers and ports threaded 1/4". The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits long-stroke gantries and sliding guards where a full-length body would not fit. Because a rod exits the rear cover too, that back rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load better than a single cantilevered rod. Note the ACPD family is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X225 (swap the P for an E), so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a sizing rule, plan on about 2209 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (roughly 60% of rating), which is about 188 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X225S (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 ACPD100X225S Is Used
Reciprocating conveyor pushers
The symmetric double rod gives equal 3681.6 N force on the extend and return stroke, so cartons are nudged off a line at the same speed in both directions at 30-500 mm/s.
Press stamping die lift tables
A 100 mm bore lifting about 188 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin suits die carts and lift tables under stamping presses, with the rear rod carrying a position flag for the CMSE switch.
Sliding guard doors on CNC lines
The short body saves about 50% of the length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting a 225 mm stroke guard door slide behind machine guards where space is tight.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X225S with the ACED100X225S
At 3681.6 N per direction this is the top of the ACPD range; if your press or clamp needs less, the 80 mm bore still delivers 2356.2 N both ways, while nothing in the family exceeds this 100 mm bore's 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. 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 double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the magnet is already fitted here thanks to the -S code. Order the ACED100X225 as the current replacement and verify its mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X225S
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X225S 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 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.
The ACPD family is no longer in production. The current-production drop-in is the ACED100X225 - the same 100 mm bore, 225 mm stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 ACE series. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to the older DIN-standard compact pattern. The fixed TPU bumpers, female M16x1.5 rod thread and optional -S magnet concept carry over to the successor.
