This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED50X100SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED50X100SB 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 ACPD50X100SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X100SB 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 ACED50X100SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X100SB
Double acting with a rod exiting both covers, the ACPD50X100SB pushes and pulls with identical output because both strokes work on the rod-side area: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The 16 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mounting point, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in tight jigs and guarding. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end to soften arrival, and the through-rod lets one cylinder serve two tooling faces. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held. This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACED50X100, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED50X100SB (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 ACPD50X100SB Is Used
Symmetric press fixture
The equal 881.2 N output in both directions suits a machining-centre clamp that must seat and retract a locating pad with identical force, with the male M10x1.5 rod thread taking a custom tip.
Two-sided conveyor gate
A rod on each cover lets one cylinder push a diverter gate from either face on a packaging line, with the -S magnet and a DMSE switch confirming gate position at each end.
Lift-and-lower elevator post
The through-rod guides a 40 kg fixture plate vertically on a small assembly elevator, resisting rotation without external guides, and the fixed TPU bumpers soften both travel ends.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X100SB with the ACED50X100SB
At 881.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, plan on roughly 528 N (about 53 kg) of usable work with a sensible margin, or expect to lift around 44 kg vertically at a 2:1 margin. If your load needs less, the ACPD40 at 571.8 N may suffice; if it needs more, step up to the ACPD63 at 1458.1 N. Stroke 100 mm sits well inside the 250 mm standard limit for bore 50. The B code gives a male M10x1.5 rod thread, the -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Replacement: ACED50X100.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED50X100SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD50X100SB FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal both ways: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, with a maximum of 179.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the port is 1/8" PT. In practice, budget about 528 N (roughly 53 kg) of usable push at 0.5 MPa.
No - the ACPD50X100SB is discontinued. The current-production replacement is the ACED50X100, the ISO 21287 successor in the same bore, stroke and force class. The ACP is DIN-standard, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The short body still saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and the fixed TPU bumpers and optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches carry over in function.
