This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X35 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X35 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 ACPD100X35
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X35 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 35mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X35 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X35
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD100X35 delivers 3681.6 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 100 mm bore turns 0.7 MPa into 5154.2 N either way, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of clean, 40 um filtered air.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod follows the short ISO 21287 format, cutting roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses and gantries where a full-length body will not fit. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACED100X35, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a sizing rule, plan on about 2209 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 112 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X35 (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 ACPD100X35 Is Used
Baling and compacting station
The 3681.6 N symmetric thrust at 0.5 MPa suits a scrap or packaging compactor where the short 35 mm stroke cycles a platen in a tight frame, with the through-rod guiding the platen straight.
Clamp fixture on a CNC machining line
Bolts to an FA flange on a milling fixture to clamp steel blanks at over 5000 N at 0.7 MPa, with the rear rod driving a proximity flag for clamp-confirmed interlocking.
Pallet pusher in a warehouse transfer car
Mounted on LB feet inside a low-profile transfer cart, the double rod pushes pallets off the deck and pulls the pusher back with equal 3681.6 N force at 0.5 MPa.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X35 with the ACED100X35
At 35 mm stroke this sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore, so it is a catalog item, not a made-to-order length. If 3681.6 N per direction is more than the job needs, the 63 mm bore gives 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need more, step to a larger custom solution or parallel cylinders. Choose the female M16x1.5 rod thread as coded here, or order the B variant for male thread. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads, and order the -S code if you later want CMSE or DMSE switches. For new builds, specify ACED100X35 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X35
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X35 FAQ
Yes, identical both ways because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, equal to about 375 kgf at 1.0 MPa maximum. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The bore is 100 mm, the rod is 25 mm with a female M16x1.5 thread, and the port is 1/4" PT.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family. The current-production replacement is ACED100X35, the ISO 21287 double-rod version: swap the P for an E and you get the same 100 mm bore, 35 mm stroke and force class. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, and note the optional -S magnet code if you need CMSE or DMSE switch positions.
