This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X275S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X275S 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 ACPD100X275S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X275S 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 ACED100X275S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X275S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD100X275S pushes and pulls with identical force: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 100 mm bore. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling. Note that the ACPD family is discontinued; the current-production successor is the ACED100X275, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since ACP follows the DIN standard.
The through-rod is a real mechanical asset at this size: it resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount at each end, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the short ISO 21287 footprint, roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end. Running on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), it moves at 30-500 mm/s. For planning, treat about 2209 N (near 225 kg of push) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, and expect roughly 187 kg of vertical lift capability with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X275S (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 ACPD100X275S Is Used
Reciprocating pallet pusher
The identical 3681.6 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa drives a heavy pallet or tote both ways on a packaging line transfer, with the rear rod carrying a position flag for the controller.
Press-ejector on a stamping die
A 275 mm stroke ejects formed steel parts from a die shoe; the through-rod resists the side load of sticky scrap, and CMSE switches on the fitted magnet confirm part ejection each cycle.
Bidirectional gate diverter
A conveyor diverter gate needs equal force to swing product left or right; the symmetric double-rod mount bolts into the gantry frame where a full-length ISO 15552 profile cylinder would not fit.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X275S with the ACED100X275S
At 3681.6 N per direction, the 100 mm bore is the top of the ACPD range; if your load needs under 2356 N at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore does the job in a smaller body. Keep in mind that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the 275 mm stroke must hold position. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face, and the fitted -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. Since this model is discontinued, order the ACED100X275 as the drop-in replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X275S
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X275S FAQ
No, the two are identical. Because a rod exits both covers, every stroke uses the rod-side area of the 100 mm bore: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, and a peak of 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa, equal in both directions. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287 format, saving about 50% of the mounting length versus an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and a female M16x1.5 rod thread on the 25 mm rod. The S in the model code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted for position feedback. This model is discontinued; the ACED100X275 is the current drop-in, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
