This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED50X100 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED50X100 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 ACPD50X100
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X100 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED50X100 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X100
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD50X100 delivers an identical 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, since both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 50 mm bore. The 16 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Its hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries.
At 0.5 MPa plan on about 529 N (roughly 54 kg) of usable push, and for vertical work the rod-side force equals about 90 kgf, so halving for a 2:1 margin lets it lift about 45 kg vertically. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and the port is 1/8". Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED50X100 (swap the P for an E), so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The magnet is not fitted on this code; order the optional -S version if you need CMSE / DMSE switch positions.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED50X100 (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 (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 881 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1234 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 180 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 ACPD50X100 Is Used
Bench-top press fixture
The 881.2 N symmetric force both ways suits a small stamping or riveting head on a jig bench, with the 100 mm stroke clearing part loading by hand.
Rotating fixture clamp
A rod on each cover lets one side clamp a machined aluminium bracket while the opposite rod trips a position flag, all within a short ISO 21287 body.
Battery tray ejector
Pushing about 45 kg vertically at a 2:1 margin, the through-rod ejects warehouse battery trays from a rack conveyor without a separate guide post.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X100 with the ACED50X100
Size against neighbours: the 40 mm bore gives 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa both ways, while stepping up to 63 mm raises it to 1458.1 N, so pick the 50 mm when your clamp or press needs the middle of that band. The 100 mm stroke sits well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is required. Mount with FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets that bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Since ACPD50X100 is discontinued, order the ACED50X100 as the current equivalent and verify the mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED50X100
- ✓ 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 ACPD50X100 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in extend and retract: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, both ways, on the rod-side area of the 50 mm bore. At 1.0 MPa the maximum output is 179.7 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 100 mm stroke is within the 250 mm standard limit for this bore.
Order the ACED50X100, the current-production ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 50 mm bore, 100 mm stroke and force class with a matching short body and mounting family. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACP was built to the older DIN standard. Also note this code has no magnet; if you need CMSE or DMSE switch positions, order the -S option on the replacement.
