This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X325S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X325S 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 ACPD100X325S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X325S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 325mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X325S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X325S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD100X325S pushes and pulls with identical force 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 drives a 25 mm hard-chrome S45C rod through a hard-anodized aluminium body, with a fixed TPU bumper at each cover. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling. Note that the 325 mm stroke exceeds the 300 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits long-stroke gantries and sliding guards where a full-length body would not fit. The through-rod on the rear cover resists rotation, tolerates modest side load and can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. In practice the 3681.6 N rating translates to about 375 kg of vertical lift at 0.5 MPa; halving that for a 2:1 margin means it lifts about 188 kg vertically with confidence. Be aware this model is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X325, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X325S (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 ACPD100X325S Is Used
Pallet transfer pusher
The equal 3681.6 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa centers or rejects 200 kg pallets on a conveyor line, with the rear rod carrying a position flag for the PLC.
Press-fit assist ram
A 325 mm made-to-order stroke reaches deep into a fixture to seat bushings in housings, delivering about 2209 N of practical working force at 0.5 MPa.
Sliding guard actuator
With the fitted -S magnet and CMSE switches, the long stroke drives a machine safety guard and confirms open and closed positions at both ends of travel.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X325S with the ACED100X325S
At 3681.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore is the top of the ACPD range; if your load needs under 2356.2 N, the 80 mm bore costs less, and there is no larger bore in this family. Plan on roughly 2209 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting bolts to the ISO 21287 face, the -S magnet on this unit accepts CMSE / DMSE switches, and the ACED100X325 is the current replacement to quote.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X325S
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X325S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 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), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
Bore 100 tops out at 300 mm as a standard stroke, so 325 mm is a made-to-order build with a longer lead time. Also note this ACPD model is discontinued: the current drop-in is the ACED100X325 in the same bore, stroke and force class, but because ACP is DIN-standard you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and FA/FB or LB hole pattern before swapping.
