This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X30SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X30SB 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 ACPD100X30SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X30SB 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 ACED100X30SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X30SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD100X30SB pushes and pulls with identical output because both strokes work on the rod-side area: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The 100 mm bore carries a 25 mm through-rod with a male thread (B code), and the 30 mm stroke sits inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X30.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 375 kg-class thrust fits where a full-length body cannot. Because the piston drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount directly. Fixed TPU bumpers decelerate both ends; speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X30SB (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 ACPD100X30SB Is Used
Press-stamping die clamp
The 3681.6 N both-ways force clamps and releases a stamping die in a 30 mm shuttle, with the male rod thread taking a custom clamp arm directly.
Billet ejector on a forging line
Symmetric thrust ejects hot billets either way the ram travels, and the short body slots into a tight press frame where a profile cylinder will not fit.
Reciprocating transfer carriage
A rod on each cover drives a heavy carriage forward and back at equal force, while the rear rod carries a flag for CMSE switch positioning.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X30SB with the ACED100X30SB
At 3681.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, plan on roughly 2209 N of usable work (about 0.6 of rating), which vertically lifts about 187 kg with a 2:1 margin - size down to an ACPD80X (2356.2 N) if your part is lighter, or stay here for heavy clamping. If you need position holding on air loss, pair it with a rod lock or pilot check rather than relying on the cylinder itself. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the -S magnet on this unit accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Since ACPD is discontinued, order the ACED100X30 and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X30SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X30SB FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so both strokes use the rod-side area and output is equal in each direction: 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.
Order the ACED100X30, the current ISO 21287 production model made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 100 mm bore, 30 mm stroke and force class, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint.
