This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X60B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X60B 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 ACPD100X60B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X60B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X60B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X60B
A double acting compact cylinder with a through rod, the ACPD100X60B pushes a 100 mm bore over a 60 mm stroke and delivers 3681.6 N in BOTH directions at 0.5 MPa, because the rod-side area works on each end. The 25 mm rod exits both covers, so the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool while the through-rod resists rotation and side load. Its hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this size fits heavy gantries and press fixtures that cannot spare the length.
At 0.7 MPa the same cylinder reaches 5154.2 N either way, with a peak of 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Plan on roughly 2209 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 225 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin, so a 100 kg die or clamp load moves with room to spare. A fixed TPU bumper pads both ends, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the rod end here is a male thread (the B code) with a 1/4" PT port. Note: this model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ISO 21287 ACED100X60, so confirm mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X60B (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 ACPD100X60B Is Used
Press fixture die clamping
The 3681.6 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa lets one through-rod clamp a steel die from both sides in a machining center fixture, with the 60 mm stroke clearing part loading.
Gantry z-axis part ejection
A back-end rod drives a sensor flag for end-of-stroke confirmation while the front rod ejects formed parts off a stamping die at up to 500 mm/s.
Bottle line gate diverting
Equal force both ways suits a divert gate that must push cartons left or right with identical thrust, and the short body slots into a tight conveyor frame.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X60B with the ACED100X60B
At this force class the 100 mm double-rod gives 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa in both directions; step down to a 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) for lighter clamps or up to nothing larger in this family, since 100 mm is the biggest bore offered. The 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 100, so it is a catalog item, not a made-to-order build. Because a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. This unit has no magnet; if you need CMSE or DMSE switches, order the -S version instead. For new projects, specify the ACED100X60, the current ISO 21287 successor.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X60B
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X60B 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, both from the rod-side area, peaking at 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 60 mm stroke is well under the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
Order the ACED100X60, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 100 mm bore, 60 mm stroke and force class in a short-body aluminium cylinder. The ACP family is DIN-standard, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and the male rod thread before swapping. Mounting hardware (FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, SDB pivot, FTC) bolts to the ACED face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches.
