This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X300B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X300B 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 ACPD100X300B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X300B 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 ACED100X300B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X300B
This discontinued ACPD100X300B is a double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving BOTH covers, so the 100 mm bore delivers an identical 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa (5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke, since both directions work on the rod-side area. The B code gives a male rod thread on the 25 mm rod, and the 1/4" port feeds air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). The 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 at each end.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight gantries and guarding on large-bore jobs. At 0.5 MPa the rod-side thrust of 3681.6 N works out to about 375 kgf, so plan on roughly 225 kgf of real work, or lift about 113 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet (not fitted on this code) enables CMSE / DMSE switches. Replacement: the current-production ACED100X300, same bore, stroke and force class - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X300B (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 ACPD100X300B Is Used
Reciprocating press transfer
The equal 3681.6 N thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa suits a 300 mm-stroke shuttle that pushes a steel die into place and retracts it with the same force, no derating on the return.
Bottling line pusher gate
A through-rod on a bottle-lane gate keeps the pusher bar rigid against side load at 30-500 mm/s, with the rear rod carrying a flag for a position sensor when the -S magnet is ordered.
Pallet-stacker clamp arm
Symmetric clamping from the double rod grips pallet loads with identical force each way, and the 113 kg vertical-lift equivalent helps size a companion lift axis.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X300B with the ACED100X300B
Size both ways: if 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 80 mm ACPD gives 2356.2 N; if you need more, step up is not available in this family, so consider the single-rod ACE/ACED range for higher classes. This 300 mm stroke is the maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore, so no made-to-order surcharge applies. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Match FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts to your fixture, order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE switches are planned, and specify the ACED100X300 for new builds since this model is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X300B
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X300B FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design works on the rod-side area both ways, so force is equal on extend and retract: 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 25 mm rod carries a male thread (B code).
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 with the same short-body format, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint.
