This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X25S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X25S 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 ACPD100X25S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X25S 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 ACED100X25S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X25S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD100X25S pushes and pulls with the same rod-side area: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The 100 mm bore drives a 25 mm rod through a 25 mm stroke at 30-500 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) shop air, with a 1/4" port and an M16x1.5 female rod thread. This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ISO 21287 ACED100X25.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag while the front one does the work. The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short build that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses and gantries where a full-length body will not. Because both strokes use the rod-side area, plan for roughly 2209 N (about 225 kg of push) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, and note the fixed TPU bumper at each end only decelerates - it never holds a load when air is lost. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signals.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X25S (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 ACPD100X25S Is Used
Heavy press fixture
The 3681.6 N both-ways output suits a stamping or riveting fixture where the same 100 mm bore must clamp and retract under load on a short 25 mm stroke.
Gantry pick-and-place
A rod on each cover lets one side carry the tool plate while the rear rod drives a CMSE switch flag, giving position feedback on a vertical Z-axis slide.
Pallet-stacker clamp
Equal force in push and pull makes the through-rod useful for a symmetric clamping arm on material-handling equipment, gripping with about 225 kg of usable force at 0.5 MPa.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X25S with the ACED100X25S
At 3681.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore sits at the top of the range; step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for lighter clamping or stay here for heavy fixture work. If you need longer travel, the max standard stroke for this bore is 300 mm, so 25 mm is well inside it. Match FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts to the ISO 21287 face, and remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Order the ACED100X25 as the current replacement and confirm its ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X25S
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X25S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal both ways: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, each direction, on the rod-side area. At 1.0 MPa the peak is 750.8 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and a 1/4" port.
No - the ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is the ACED100X25 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class with the same short-body mounting family. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN standard.
