This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X65 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X65 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 ACPD100X65
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X65 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 65mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X65 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X65
This is a double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, so the 100 mm bore delivers 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction - both strokes work on the rod-side area, with 5154.2 N available at 0.7 MPa. The 25 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mounting face, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end and speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight gantries and guards. For sizing, plan on about 2209 N of real work at 0.5 MPa - enough to lift roughly 225 kg vertically with margin. Note the ACPD series is discontinued: the current drop-in is the ACED100X65 (swap the P for an E), so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this code has no magnet fitted.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X65 (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 ACPD100X65 Is Used
Press-eject on stamping dies
The symmetric 3681.6 N push-pull ejects formed steel parts from a die and retracts with equal force, and the 65 mm stroke matches shallow die pockets where a full-length body will not fit.
Pusher gates on bottling lines
A through-rod pusher diverts bottles or cartons off a conveyor in both directions with identical force, while the rear rod carries a position flag for line control.
Clamp fixtures on machining centres
With about 2209 N of usable clamping force at 0.5 MPa, the double rod clamps aluminium castings in CNC fixtures symmetrically, resisting side load without a guide.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X65 with the ACED100X65
At 100 mm bore you are near the top of the range: 3681.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa. If your load needs less, the 80 mm bore gives 2356.2 N at the same pressure; if you need more force in this footprint class, discuss options with us since this series ends at 100 mm. Stroke 65 mm sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
Mount via FA/FB flange or LB foot on the ISO 21287 face, with a female M16x1.5 rod thread and 1/4" ports. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put. Order the ACED100X65 as the current-production replacement and verify its mounting dimensions against your fixture.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X65
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X65 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal both ways: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke, 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 65 mm stroke is within the 300 mm standard maximum for this bore.
Order the ACED100X65, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 100 mm bore, 65 mm stroke and force class in a short hard-anodized aluminium body with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint. If you need position switches, order the -S magnet code so CMSE / DMSE sensors can be used.
