This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X70S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X70S 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 ACPD100X70S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X70S 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 ACED100X70S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X70S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD100X70S 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, while fixed TPU bumpers pad both ends. The S code on this unit means the optional magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body.
This is a discontinued DIN-standard compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight press fixtures and gantries. For planning, treat roughly 0.6 of the rated push as usable work, about 2209 N, which lifts roughly 187 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The current-production drop-in is the ACED100X70; confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X70S (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 ACPD100X70S Is Used
Press-fit clamping fixture
The equal 3681.6 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa suits a two-sided stamping or press-fit jig where the rear rod carries a position flag and the 70 mm stroke clears the part quickly.
Gantry lift-and-lower head
With about 187 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the through-rod keeps the head square on a pick-and-place gantry moving cast housings between stations.
Reciprocating transfer slide
A conveyor diverter or transfer slide at 30-500 mm/s benefits from identical force in both directions and CMSE / DMSE switches on the fitted magnet for end-of-stroke confirmation.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X70S with the ACED100X70S
At 70 mm stroke this bore delivers 3681.6 N both ways at 0.5 MPa, so size down to an ACPD63 (1458.1 N) if the load is lighter, or stay here for clamping and lifting jobs above 2 kN. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. This model is discontinued; the ACED100X70 is the current replacement in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X70S
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X70S 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, 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, and the 1/4" port depends only on the 100 mm bore.
No, this model is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is the ACED100X70, an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to the older DIN-standard compact format. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be used.
