This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X225SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X225SB 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 ACPD100X225SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X225SB 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 ACED100X225SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X225SB
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder in the discontinued AirTAC ACP DIN series, built on a hard-anodized aluminium body with a 25 mm S45C hard-chrome rod exiting BOTH covers. Because each side 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, with a peak of 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 225 mm stroke sits inside the 300 mm standard range for the 100 mm bore, so it ships as a standard build.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag while the front drives the load. Fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the piston at both ends, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits deep presses and long-stroke gantries where a full-length body will not. At 0.5 MPa, plan on roughly 2209 N of usable work, which lifts about 188 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note: this model is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X225, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X225SB (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 ACPD100X225SB Is Used
Baler ram for scrap offcuts
The 3681.6 N bidirectional force ejects compressed aluminium offcuts on the forward stroke and retracts the ram without a return spring, while the 225 mm stroke clears a deep bin.
Pallet elevator in a food plant
Symmetric rod-side force both ways keeps descent speed predictable on a washdown-safe air circuit, and the fitted magnet feeds CMSE switch signals to the PLC at top and bottom.
Reciprocating spray gantry
A rod on each end lets one cylinder push the nozzle carriage forward and pull it back over a 225 mm pass, with the rear rod doubling as a mount for a DMSE position flag.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X225SB with the ACED100X225SB
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the ACPD range: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa both ways, versus 2356.2 N for the 80 mm bore below it. If your load needs less than about 2200 N of real work, the 80 mm size saves space and air. The 225 mm stroke is standard (max 300 mm for this bore), and the male rod thread (B code) plus the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches make it ready for position feedback. Remember it drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Order the ACED100X225 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X225SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X225SB FAQ
It is a double-rod cylinder, so force is EQUAL both ways: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa (rod-side area on each side), peaking at 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, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The 1/4" port serves the 100 mm bore, and the rod is 25 mm with a male thread.
Order the ACED100X225, the ISO 21287 successor reached by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 100 mm bore, 225 mm stroke and force class with a short compact body that saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before the swap; FA/FB flange and LB foot brackets bolt to the ACED face.
