This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X275 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X275 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 ACPD100X275
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X275 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 275mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X275 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X275
This is a double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, so the 100 mm bore delivers the same 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa (5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke because both sides work on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end and stroke speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body cuts roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters on long 275 mm strokes inside guards or gantry frames. FA/FB flange and LB foot brackets bolt to the standard face. Note the practical margin: halving the 3681.6 N rating leaves about 188 kg of vertical lift capacity, so match real part weights against that figure. This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X275, and buyers should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X275 (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 ACPD100X275 Is Used
Reciprocating press transfer
The equal 3681.6 N in both directions suits a platen that must push a formed part off a die and then pull the platen back with identical force at 0.5 MPa.
Bottling line pusher gate
A 275 mm stroke sweeps a full lane of 500 ml bottles between conveyor spurs; the through-rod keeps the pusher bar square without an external guide.
Pallet-stacker clamp arm
Both rod ends can drive opposing clamp pads on a warehouse stacker, gripping pallet loads with the same rod-side force from either side.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X275 with the ACED100X275
At 3681.6 N per direction this is the top of the ACPD range. If 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa covers the job, the 80 mm bore costs less; if you need more than 3681.6 N, no larger ACPD bore exists, so look at a bigger frame size. The 275 mm stroke sits inside the 300 mm standard limit for bore 100, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted. For new designs, specify the ACED100X275 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X275
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X275 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means 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) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Order the ACED100X275, the current ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you keep the same 100 mm bore, 275 mm stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard.
