This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X350SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X350SB 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 ACPD100X350SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X350SB 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 ACED100X350SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X350SB
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP pattern: a 100 mm bore with a 25 mm rod leaving both covers, so the thrust is identical on each stroke - 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa either way. The 350 mm stroke is longer than the 300 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters on long-stroke gantries and transfer frames where space is tight.
The through-rod is the working advantage here: it resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag while the front rod does the work. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke signalling. Plan for about 2209 N (roughly 225 kg) of usable push at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, and note the fixed TPU bumper at each end only decelerates the piston - it never holds a load when air is lost. The ACPD family is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACED100X350 in the same bore, stroke and force class.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X350SB (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 ACPD100X350SB Is Used
Reciprocating transfer beam
A 350 mm through-rod stroke pushes and pulls a pallet lift beam with equal 3681.6 N force at 0.5 MPa, so the return stroke carries the same load as the advance.
Bottling line pusher gate
The rear rod drives a sensor flag for CMSE switches while the front rod swings a diverter gate across a conveyor, with the TPU bumper absorbing end-of-travel shock at up to 500 mm/s.
Pallet clamp on a strapping press
About 225 kg of usable push at 0.5 MPa clamps cartons between two symmetric rod ends, ideal where a clamping plate must be guided from both sides.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X350SB with the ACED100X350SB
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the ACPD range: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa in both directions, where a 80 mm bore delivers 2356.2 N and there is no larger compact option in the family. The 350 mm stroke exceeds the 300 mm standard maximum, so expect a made-to-order lead time. The male rod thread (B code) suits I/Y rod knuckles, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face. If the load must stay put on air loss, add a rod lock or pilot check valve - the bare cylinder drifts. Order the ACED100X350 as the current drop-in and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X350SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X350SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, 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) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, running at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um. The 350 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length for this bore.
The ACPD family is no longer in production. The current-production replacement is the ACED100X350 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class with a matching short body and mounting family. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard pattern. The -S magnet code and CMSE / DMSE switch options carry over.
