This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X60SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X60SB 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 ACPD100X60SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X60SB 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 ACED100X60SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X60SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD100X60SB delivers 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 100 mm bore. The male rod thread (B code) and the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches make it ready for sensed, symmetric mounting straight out of the box. Its hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into wide presses, gantries and fixture plates where a full-length body will not fit.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). At 0.5 MPa the 3681.6 N rating works out to roughly 375 kg of force, so plan on about 225 kg of real work, or lift about 187 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that 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 ACED100X60SB (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 ACPD100X60SB Is Used
Baling press platen drive
The 3681.6 N both-way force at 0.5 MPa drives a platen down on cardboard bales and retracts with equal force, while the 60 mm stroke suits shallow compaction chutes.
Twin-sided gate actuator
A rod on each cover lets one cylinder push a conveyor gate open and pull it closed with identical 3681.6 N force, with the rear rod carrying a CMSE switch flag for position feedback.
Pallet-stacker clamp arm
Equal push and pull force clamps and releases drum or pallet grippers symmetrically, and the short ISO 21287-class body fits the narrow mast space of a stacker.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X60SB with the ACED100X60SB
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the ACPD range: 3681.6 N both ways at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in push and pull. If your load needs under 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore costs less; if you need up to 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa, this is the largest bore available. The 60 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 if the load must stay put. The fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches, and the current replacement is the ACED100X60.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X60SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X60SB FAQ
Yes - this is a double-rod cylinder, so force is equal both ways: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa on the rod-side area, 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, temperature -20 to +70 C, port 1/4" PT, rod 25 mm with male thread.
Order the ACED100X60, the current-production ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 100 mm bore, 60 mm stroke and force class, and the same FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting family bolts to it. Because the ACP is a DIN-standard compact body, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before the swap.
