This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X25 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X25 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 ACPD100X25
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X25 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 25mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X25 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X25
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD100X25 delivers 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 100 mm bore and short 25 mm stroke suit heavy clamping and pressing where space along the axis is tight; the ISO 21287 style short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Air supply runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, so the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and the hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome rod. Plan on roughly 2209 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rating), which lifts around 112 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X25.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X25 (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 ACPD100X25 Is Used
Press-fit arbor station
The 3681.6 N both-way force presses bearings or bushings into housings on an automotive assembly line, with the short 25 mm stroke cycling fast between parts.
Fixture clamp with rear sensor flag
On a CNC machining fixture, the rear rod carries a proximity flag so the PLC confirms clamp state, while the front rod clamps with equal force.
Heavy pallet pusher
A warehouse transfer station uses the symmetric through-rod to push pallets squarely off a conveyor, the double rod keeping the plate from twisting under load.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X25 with the ACED100X25
At 3681.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 100 mm bore sits at the top of the ACPD range; step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for lighter clamps or stay here for heavy press-fit and forming work. The 25 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalog item. Rod end is female M16x1.5 and the port is 1/4" PT. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay held. This model is discontinued; order the ACED100X25 and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X25
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X25 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal either way: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum 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, temperature -20 to +70 C, and the port is 1/4" PT with a female M16x1.5 rod thread.
The ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is the ACED100X25 - swap the P for an E - which matches the same 100 mm bore, 25 mm stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 short-body format. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint. Also note the magnet is only fitted when the optional -S code is ordered; without it, no CMSE or DMSE switch can be mounted.
