This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X30 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X30 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 ACPD100X30
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X30 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 30mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X30 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X30
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP pattern, the ACPD100X30 pushes a 100 mm bore through a 30 mm stroke and delivers 3681.6 N in BOTH directions at 0.5 MPa, because the through-rod leaves the same rod-side area on each side. At 0.7 MPa that rises to 5154.2 N either way, with a peak of 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287-class short build that saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses, gantries and fixture plates where a full-length body will not fit.
The 25 mm hard-chrome S45C rod exits both covers, so the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool while resisting side load and rotation. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the port is 1/4". Note this model is DISCONTINUED: the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X30 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a planning figure, treat about 2209 N (roughly 225 kg) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X30 (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 ACPD100X30 Is Used
Heavy fixture clamping
The equal 3681.6 N force in both directions lets one cylinder clamp a steel weldment on the forward stroke and eject it on the return, with the 30 mm stroke suiting shallow jig plates.
Compact press station
With about 225 kg of usable working force at 0.5 MPa and a short ISO 21287-class body, this bore fits a bench-top marking or staking press under a low gantry.
Synchronized twin-slide drive
The through-rod lets the rear 25 mm rod drive a second slide or carry a flag for a DMSE switch (when the -S magnet is ordered), keeping both sides of a conveyor gate in step.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X30 with the ACED100X30
At 3681.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore is the top of the ACPD range; step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for lighter clamping or stay here for heavy fixture and press work. If you need more travel, the 30 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Mount with FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets that bolt to the ISO 21287 face; add the optional -S code if you want CMSE / DMSE switches - without it there is no magnet. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Order the ACED100X30 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X30
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X30 FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is identical in both directions: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 30 mm stroke is a standard stroke (bore 100 goes to 300 mm standard).
Order the ACED100X30, the current-production ISO 21287 successor (swap the P for an E). It matches the same 100 mm bore, 30 mm stroke and force class, and accepts the same FA/FB flange and LB foot mounting family plus I/Y rod knuckles. Since the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. Also note the magnet is only present when the -S code is ordered; CMSE / DMSE switches need it.
