This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X70 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X70 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 ACPD100X70
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X70 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 70mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X70 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X70
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD100X70 pushes and pulls with identical force because each stroke works on the rod-side area: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The 25 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, cutting roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses, gantries and guarding where a full-length body cannot. At 0.5 MPa plan on about 2209 N of real work, which is roughly 187 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X70, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X70 (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 ACPD100X70 Is Used
Baling and compacting station
3681.6 N in both directions lets the same cylinder eject a bale on the forward stroke and retract the platen under full force, with the 70 mm stroke matching a shallow compaction chamber.
Dual-sided clamping fixture
A rod on each cover clamps a machined aluminium housing from both ends in one fixture, so one cylinder replaces two and the through-rod keeps the tooling aligned.
Pallet pusher on a stretch wrapper
The rear rod drives a position flag for CMSE or DMSE switches when the -S magnet is ordered, while the 2209 N usable thrust at 0.5 MPa squares a 150 kg pallet load.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X70 with the ACED100X70
At 100 mm bore this is the top of the ACPD range, delivering 3681.6 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If your load needs less, the 80 mm bore gives 2356.2 N at the same pressure; there is no larger bore in the family. The 70 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. A plain cylinder of this type will drift when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches. Since the ACPD100X70 is discontinued, order the ACED100X70 as the current equivalent.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X70
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X70 FAQ
Yes, identical both ways because the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on every stroke. At 0.5 MPa you get 3681.6 N, at 0.7 MPa you get 5154.2 N, and the maximum at 1.0 MPa is 750.8 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Order the ACED100X70, the current ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 100 mm bore, 70 mm stroke and force class, with the same 1/4" port and M16x1.5 female rod thread. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before the swap.
