This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X90B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X90B 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 ACPD100X90B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X90B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 90mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X90B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X90B
This is a double acting compact cylinder with a rod exiting BOTH covers, so the 100 mm bore delivers 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - 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. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end and stroke speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - useful in presses, gantries and guards where a full-length body will not fit. Note this model is DISCONTINUED: the current-production drop-in is ACED100X90 (same bore, stroke and force class), so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. For real work, plan on about 2209 N at 0.5 MPa - roughly 187 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X90B (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 ACPD100X90B Is Used
Baler ram for scrap aluminium
The 3681.6 N rod-side force in both directions lets the same 100 mm bore compact and retract under load, with the 25 mm through-rod handling off-axis scrap loading.
Pallet-stacker pusher arm
Equal force both ways centers pallets on a warehouse conveyor; the rear rod carries a flag past a switch when the -S magnet is ordered.
Die cart lift-assist post
A symmetric through-rod mount on FA flanges lifts about 187 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin in a stamping die-change station.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X90B with the ACED100X90B
At 3681.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore suits heavy clamping and lifting; step down to 80 mm (2356.2 N) for lighter loads or note that 100 mm is the largest bore in this series. The 90 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. The B code gives a male M16x1.5 rod thread and the port is 1/4" PT; no magnet is fitted, so order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE switches are needed. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check to hold a load. Mount with FA/FB flange or LB foot. This model is discontinued; ACED100X90 is the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X90B
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X90B FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so both strokes use the rod-side area of the 100 mm bore: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in each direction. At 1.0 MPa the peak is 750.8 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, on air filtered to 40 um, at 30-500 mm/s.
Order ACED100X90, the current-production ISO 21287 successor (swap the P for an E). It matches the same 100 mm bore, 90 mm stroke and force class, but because the ACP is DIN-standard you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. Mounting options carry over: FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot and FTC brackets.
