This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X75B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X75B 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 ACPD100X75B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X75B 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 ACED100X75B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X75B
This is a double acting compact cylinder with a rod exiting both covers, so the 100 mm bore delivers an identical 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa (5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa) whether it pushes or pulls - both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 25 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends and travel runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 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 - useful in gantries and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. Note the B code: the rod end is male thread, and the port is 1/4" PT. No magnet is fitted on this code, so position switches cannot be used unless you order the -S variant with CMSE / DMSE switches. This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACED100X75, same bore, stroke and force class - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a planning figure, treat about 2209 N as the realistic working thrust at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 112 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X75B (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 ACPD100X75B Is Used
Reciprocating pallet pusher
The through-rod pushes a pallet into a press nest on one stroke and retracts with equal 3681.6 N force, so the return stroke clears the nest just as firmly at 0.5 MPa.
Twin-sided clamp fixture
A workpiece can be gripped from both covers of the same cylinder - the rear rod drives a second clamp pad, halving the actuator count in a machining fixture.
Counterbalanced lift assist
With about 112 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the 75 mm stroke suits short-lift parts elevators on assembly lines where headroom is tight.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X75B with the ACED100X75B
At 3681.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this bore sits at the top of the range: step down to ACPD80 for 2356.2 N if the load is lighter, since there is no larger standard bore. The 75 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 100, so it is a catalogue item. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches. Order ACED100X75 as the current replacement and verify mounting dimensions against the ISO 21287 drawing.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X75B
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X75B FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area of the 100 mm bore. Output is 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, 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), and speed 30-500 mm/s.
This model is no longer in production; order ACED100X75, the ISO 21287 successor in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the mounting dimensions before swapping. The cylinder uses a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome 25 mm rod, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, a 1/4" PT port and male rod thread. The -S code adds the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted.
