This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X350B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X350B 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.

The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X350B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 350mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X350B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP pattern, the ACPD100X350B pushes a 100 mm bore through a 350 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is identical in either direction: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa. The 25 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, carries a symmetric mount, and lets the rear rod drive a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers decelerate both ends. Running range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s.
In practice, plan on roughly 2209 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - about 225 kg of vertical load - instead of the full rating. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into gantries and long-stroke transfer frames where a full-length body will not fit. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X350, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X350B (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.
| 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).
| ACPD | DIN compact cylinder (double-rod, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 100 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×350 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (adjustable stroke).
The through-rod clamps or ejects from both covers with an equal 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa, so one cylinder does the work of two on a machining-center deburring fixture.
A 350 mm made-to-order stroke moves pallets between conveyor lanes, and the rear rod can carry a flag for a proximity sensor without extra hardware.
About 225 kg of usable vertical push at 0.5 MPa seats heavy cartons into a truck bed, with the 25 mm rod handling the side load of a guided pusher plate.
At 3681.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this is the top of the ACPD range; step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for lighter presses or up to nothing larger - 100 mm is the biggest bore offered. The 350 mm stroke exceeds the 300 mm standard maximum for bore 100, so it is a made-to-order build with a longer lead time. The B code gives a male M16x1.5 rod thread and the port thread is PT (1/4"). No magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be used; order the -S version if position sensing is needed. For a load that must stay put on air loss, add a rod lock or pilot check - the bare cylinder drifts. Replace it with the ACED100X350 and verify the ISO 21287 footprint first.
Replacement checklist
Yes - the double-rod design puts a 25 mm rod through both covers, so both strokes use the rod-side area. Output is 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, 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" PT port serves both chambers.
The ACPD family is no longer in production; the current drop-in is the ACED100X350 in the ISO 21287 ACE series, matching the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP follows the older DIN-standard pattern. If you need reed or solid-state switches (CMSE / DMSE), note that this unit has no magnet - only the -S ordering code adds the optional magnet, and the ACE successor offers the same option.
