This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X65B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X65B 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 ACPD100X65B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X65B 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 ACED100X65B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X65B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD100X65B pushes and pulls with identical output: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, since both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 100 mm bore drives a 25 mm hard-chrome S45C rod through a hard-anodized aluminium body, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and a 30-500 mm/s speed range. Note that this model is discontinued; the current-production successor is the ACED100X65.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into wide presses, gantry clamp stations and machine frames where a full-length body will not fit. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 60% of the 0.5 MPa rating for real work, roughly 2200 N, which lifts about 225 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, fluid filtered to 40 um, and a -20 to +70 C operating window.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X65B (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 ACPD100X65B Is Used
Pneumatic press for aluminum bracket forming
The 3681.6 N output at 0.5 MPa, equal in both directions, forms and ejects small aluminum brackets in a 65 mm stroke cycle on a bench-top press frame.
Reciprocating transfer beam on a packaging line
A rod on each cover lets the beam be driven from either side with the same 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, while the through-rod keeps the carrier from rotating at 30-500 mm/s.
Pallet-stacker clamp actuation
The symmetric double-rod mount clamps and releases pallet collars with identical force both ways, and the rear rod can carry a flag for a proximity check.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X65B with the ACED100X65B
Size the bore by load: at 0.5 MPa the 80 mm bore gives 2356.2 N and this 100 mm bore gives 3681.6 N, both equal in push and pull thanks to the double rod; step up only if your part weight or clamp force demands it. The 65 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 100, so it is a catalogue item. The B code means a male rod thread on both ends, and the port is 1/4" PT. This unit has no magnet, so position switches cannot be fitted; if you need CMSE or DMSE sensors, order the -S variant instead. For a load that must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check, because a plain double-rod cylinder will drift. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions of the ACED100X65 before swapping from this discontinued DIN-standard model.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X65B
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X65B FAQ
No, it is identical both ways. This is a double-rod cylinder, so a 25 mm rod exits both covers and every stroke uses the rod-side area: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa in either direction. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The model is discontinued; the drop-in successor is the ACED100X65.
It is a short ISO 21287-class compact cylinder whose body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits deep into clamp fixtures and press frames. Mounting brackets from the FA/FB flange and LB foot family bolt to the standard face, and the B code gives a male thread on both rod ends. The magnet is the optional -S code only; this unit has none, so CMSE or DMSE switches require the -S variant. Since the ACPD is discontinued, verify the ACED100X65 ISO 21287 dimensions before ordering the replacement.
