This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X375B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X375B 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 ACPD100X375B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 375mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X375B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
This is a double acting, double rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP pattern: a 100 mm bore pushes and pulls with identical force because a 25 mm rod exits both hard-anodized aluminium covers and both strokes work on the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa that is 3681.6 N in each direction, rising to 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa. The 375 mm stroke is longer than the 300 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. Note: the ACPD family is discontinued - the current-production replacement is the ACED100X375.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on machines that need it. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters on long-stroke gantries where every millimetre of envelope counts. In practice, plan on about 2209 N (roughly 225 kg) of usable work at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift about 187 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, speed range is 30-500 mm/s, and the rod end carries a male thread (B code) with a 1/4" PT port.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X375B (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. |
| ×375 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |

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 375 mm made-to-order travel and 3681.6 N both-ways output suit transfer tables between stamping presses, where the through-rod keeps the platen square under off-center parts.
Equal force in both directions lets one cylinder load and unload pallets on a packaging line, with the rear rod carrying a position flag for the PLC.
About 187 kg of vertical lift capability at a 2:1 margin handles indexing heavy machine guards or gates on automotive assembly fixtures.
At 3681.6 N per direction this is the top of the ACPD range - step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for lighter presses or up from the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) when 375 mm of travel is needed. Because the piston drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and clevis brackets bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S there is no magnet. Order the ACED100X375 instead: it is the current drop-in successor, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping since the ACP is DIN-standard.
Replacement checklist
Because it is a double rod cylinder, force is identical 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 pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 375 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length above the 300 mm standard limit for a 100 mm bore.
Order the ACED100X375, the ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 100 mm bore, 375 mm stroke and force class with the same short-body format, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping because the ACPD follows the older DIN-standard pattern. FA/FB flange, LB foot and clevis brackets, plus the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, carry over through the ordering code.
