This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X75 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X75 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 ACPD100X75
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X75 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 75mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X75 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X75
This discontinued AirTAC ACPD100X75 is a double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, so the 100 mm bore delivers an identical 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa (5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa) in each direction - both strokes work on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the piston at each end. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
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. As a planning figure, treat about 2209 N (roughly 112 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin) as the usable output at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating. Note this model is no longer produced: the current drop-in is the ACED100X75, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X75 (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 ACPD100X75 Is Used
Press frame squaring
The rear rod of the through-rod design guides a squaring plate on a 100 mm press fixture, pushing 3681.6 N in either direction so the same cylinder squares and ejects without reversal loss.
Pallet destacking pusher
In a warehouse destacker, the symmetric double rod drives a pusher plate that separates palletized cartons, with the 75 mm stroke clearing a layer at 30-500 mm/s.
Mould change carousel index
On an injection moulding tool carousel, the equal both-way force indexes the heavy table positively in both rotation directions, with FA flange mounting off the ISO 21287 face.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X75 with the ACED100X75
At 3681.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore suits heavy clamping and lifting; step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for lighter loads or accept that the 125 mm class would be a custom enquiry beyond this range. The 75 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting bolts to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this code has no magnet fitted. Order the ACED100X75 as the current-production replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X75
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X75 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force 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. The rod is 25 mm, the port is 1/4" PT, the female rod thread is M16x1.5, and the maximum standard stroke for this bore is 300 mm.
Order the ACED100X75, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you keep the same 100 mm bore, 75 mm stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture first, since the ACP was built to the DIN-standard format, and specify the -S code if you need the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
