This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X25B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X25B 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 ACPD100X25B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X25B 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 ACED100X25B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X25B
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder: a piston rod exits both covers of the hard-anodized aluminium body, so the 100 mm bore delivers an identical 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa (5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa) whether it pushes or pulls. The male rod thread (B code) on each 25 mm rod bolts straight into tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while giving a symmetric mount. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits deep presses, clamping nests and gantry heads where a full-length body cannot.
Note this model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACED100X25 (swap the P for an E), in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard. For sizing, plan on roughly 2209 N (about 225 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, which corresponds to lifting about 188 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and the magnet is the optional -S code - without it no CMSE or DMSE switch can be fitted.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X25B (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 ACPD100X25B Is Used
Heavy press-fit station
A 3681.6 N symmetric thrust at 0.5 MPa presses bearings or bushings into housings on an automotive assembly line, with the same force on the return stroke clearing the part.
Reciprocating transfer beam
The through-rod drives a fixture plate forward and back over a 25 mm index in a machining cell, the back-end rod carrying a sensor flag when the -S magnet is ordered.
Clamp-and-unclamp fixture
Equal push and pull force clamps and releases a steel workpiece in a welding jig, with the short body fitting inside the jig frame where a full-length cylinder will not.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X25B with the ACED100X25B
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the ACPD range: 3681.6 N both ways at 0.5 MPa, against 2356.2 N for the 80 mm bore below it. If the job needs less force, the 80 mm double-rod unit still gives 2356.2 N in each direction. The 25 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalog item, not a made-to-order build. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder does not hold position when air is lost - the piston drifts - so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Choose FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting to match the fixture, order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE switches are needed, and specify ACED100X25 for new projects since this ACPD is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X25B
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X25B FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal both ways: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, 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 port is 1/4" (PT thread).
Order ACED100X25, the current-production ISO 21287 replacement: swap the P for an E and you get the same 100 mm bore, 25 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap, since the ACP is DIN-standard, and check that FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets line up with your fixture.
