This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X300 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X300 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 ACPD100X300
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X300 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 300mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X300 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X300
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD100X300 delivers 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, since both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 100 mm bore. The 25 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mounting face, and lets the rear rod carry a fixture or sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, cutting roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which helps on wide gantries and long-stroke transfer frames. Plan on about 2209 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift roughly 187 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note: this model is discontinued - the current drop-in is the ACED100X300, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X300 (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 ACPD100X300 Is Used
Bottling line pusher bars
The through-rod drives a pusher bar from both ends on a 300 mm bottle-transfer stroke, with 3681.6 N available either way at 0.5 MPa for full crates.
Press die lifter table
A die-lifting table under a stamping press uses the rear rod as a guide and counter-mount; the ~187 kg vertical lift equivalent covers most tooling weights with margin.
Pallet gate actuator
Swing gates on a warehouse pallet conveyor use the symmetric double-rod mount for balanced opening and closing force at 1/4" ports.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X300 with the ACED100X300
At 3681.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore suits heavy clamping and long transfer strokes; step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for lighter loads or up in bore size only via the ACE family, since 100 mm is the largest in this series. The 300 mm stroke is the maximum standard length for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Ports are 1/4" and the female rod thread is M16x1.5. Air supply must stay within 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Because a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. If you need position feedback, order the -S variant with the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S there is no magnet. For new projects, specify the ACED100X300 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X300
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X300 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal both ways: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), running on air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s.
Order the ACED100X300, the current-production ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 100 mm bore, 300 mm stroke and force class, but because the ACP is DIN-standard you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and FA/FB flange or LB foot pattern before swapping. If you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing, check that the replacement includes the optional magnet.
