This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X275SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X275SB 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 ACPD100X275SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X275SB 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 ACED100X275SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X275SB
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the discontinued ACPD100X275SB pushes and pulls with identical output: 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 piston. The 25 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the piston at each end. Stroke 275 mm sits inside the 300 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is a catalog item, not a made-to-order build.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287-class short frame that saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters on long-stroke gantries and press fixtures where every millimetre of envelope counts. In practice, halving the 375 kgf thrust equivalent gives a vertical lift of about 187 kg with a 2:1 margin, so you can match it against a real part weight before you buy. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the -S magnet on this unit accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Note that ACPD is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACED100X275, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X275SB (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 ACPD100X275SB Is Used
Reciprocating press fixture
The 3681.6 N equal push and pull at 0.5 MPa suits a stamping or clinching station where the through-rod must return a heavy tool plate as forcefully as it drives it.
Vertical lift-and-lower gantry
With about 187 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the 100 mm bore handles lifting machined housings between pallet stations on a 275 mm stroke.
Position-monitored clamping beam
The fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report both end positions on a long clamping beam, while the rear rod carries a flag or drives a second linkage.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X275SB with the ACED100X275SB
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the ACPD range: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa both ways, versus 2356.2 N for the 80 mm bore below it. If your fixture only needs around 1458 N, the 63 mm bore costs less and fits a smaller envelope. The 275 mm stroke is within the 300 mm standard limit for bore 100, so no custom build is needed. This unit carries the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches and a male rod thread (B code) with PT ports. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. Order ACED100X275 instead, since ACPD is discontinued and the ACE is the current ISO 21287 successor in the same force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X275SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X275SB FAQ
Because this is a double-rod cylinder, force is identical both ways: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, on the rod-side area of the 100 mm piston. Peak output at 1.0 MPa is 750.8 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and a 25 mm rod exiting both covers.
The ACPD family is no longer in production. The current drop-in is ACED100X275, the ISO 21287 successor with the same 100 mm bore, 275 mm stroke and force class. The ACP series is DIN-standard, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and the FA/FB flange or LB foot interface against your fixture before swapping.
