This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X35B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X35B 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 ACPD100X35B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X35B 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 ACED100X35B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X35B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod through both covers, the ACPD100X35B 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 on a 100 mm bore. The 25 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. This model is discontinued; the current-production successor is the ACED100X35, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight presses, clamping fixtures and gantry frames where a full-length body will not. At 0.5 MPa plan for roughly 2209 N of usable work, which lifts about 187 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face, the male rod thread (B code) suits I/Y knuckles, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without it no magnet is fitted.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X35B (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 ACPD100X35B Is Used
Baling press platen
The 3681.6 N push and pull moves a scrap-bale platen with equal force both ways, and the 35 mm stroke suits short-densification cycles at up to 500 mm/s.
Pallet clamp arms
Symmetric through-rod force clamps and releases pallet grippers in a warehouse line, with the rear rod carrying a flag for CMSE switches when the -S magnet is ordered.
Forming die ejector
The 100 mm bore ejects formed sheet-metal parts from a die, and the short ISO 21287 body drops into the die space that a full-length profile cylinder cannot occupy.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X35B with the ACED100X35B
At 3681.6 N per direction this 100 mm bore is the top of the ACPD range; step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for lighter clamping or stay here for heavy stamping and forming loads. The 35 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Order the -S code if you need position sensing, and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping to the ACED100X35 replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X35B
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X35B FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 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 pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C, port 1/4" PT and male rod thread M16x1.5.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 compact build, roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end that only decelerates the piston at the extremes. The ACPD100X35B is discontinued; order the ACED100X35 as the current drop-in and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap.
