This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X300S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X300S 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 ACPD100X300S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X300S 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 ACED100X300S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X300S
Double acting and double rod, the ACPD100X300S pushes a 25 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so a 100 mm bore delivers the same 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa (5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why big-bore compact units like this fit inside presses, guards and gantries where a full-length body will not. At 0.5 MPa the usable working force is roughly 2209 N, which lifts about 225 kg vertically - halve that for a 2:1 margin and you can safely handle parts up to about 112 kg. Note that this model is DISCONTINUED: the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X300, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X300S (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 ACPD100X300S Is Used
Baler ram with dual tooling
A 300 mm stroke through-rod drives a compaction platen on a waste baler, and the rear rod carries a second tool or a position flag read by CMSE switches.
Pallet-stacker mast assist
The equal 3681.6 N force in both directions suits a counterbalance assist arm on a warehouse stacker, where the through-rod keeps the linkage square under side load.
Die-cart lift column
Four of these 100 mm columns share the load on a stamping-plant die cart; at about 112 kg safe vertical lift per cylinder with a 2:1 margin, the set moves a 400 kg die confidently.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X300S with the ACED100X300S
Size down to the ACPD80X300 if your load needs only 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa, or stay at 100 mm when you need the full 3681.6 N both ways. Remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACED100X300 instead: this ACPD is discontinued, and the ACE is the current ISO 21287 successor in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X300S
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X300S 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 and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" port serves the 100 mm bore. The rod is 25 mm with an M16x1.5 female thread.
Order the ACED100X300, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you keep the same 100 mm bore, 300 mm stroke and force class. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping. The ACED keeps the FA/FB flange and LB foot family, and the -S magnet option still supports CMSE / DMSE switches.
