This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ASE100X10B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ASE100X10B 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 ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP100X10B
The AirTAC Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP100X10B is a single acting, push (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ASE100X10B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP100X10B
A single acting push cylinder with spring return, the discontinued ASP100X10B extends its 25 mm rod with air and retracts it by spring, so one air line is all the plumbing a 100 mm bore clamp needs. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 3640.7 N of push, already net of the spring, rising to 5211.5 N at 0.7 MPa. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight press fixtures and guarding where a full-length body cannot. Working range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, speed 50-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
For sizing, treat roughly 2184 N (about 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa rating) as the usable working force, which lifts about 185 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 1/4" port and the B code gives a male rod thread. This model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ASE100X10, same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The magnet is the optional -S code; without it no CMSE or DMSE switch can be fitted.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ASE100X10B (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 | Push force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3640.7 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5211.5 N |
Single-acting push: air extends the rod; the return spring retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.

Where the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP100X10B Is Used
Press-frame part clamping
The 3640.7 N push at 0.5 MPa holds steel brackets against a drill jig, and the 10 mm stroke is enough to clear loading by a few millimetres.
Stamping-die gate pusher
Air extends the platen to eject a formed shell from the die; the spring retracts it the moment the valve vents, ready for the next cycle.
Pallet-stacker gate latch
About 185 kg of vertical equivalent lets the rod seat a heavy latch bar, with the spring pulling it clear whenever air pressure drops below 0.2 MPa.
Replacing the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP100X10B with the ASE100X10B
At 3640.7 N push at 0.5 MPa, this 100 mm bore suits heavy short-throw clamping; drop to the 80 mm bore (2316.2 N) if the load is lighter, or step up only if you need more than 5211.5 N at 0.7 MPa. Remember the spring returns the rod home on air loss, so it will not hold a mid-stroke position. Choose FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis to match the fixture, and add the -S code only if CMSE or DMSE switching is required. Order the ASE100X10 instead, as this ASP model is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ASE100X10B
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP100X10B FAQ
Push is 3640.7 N at 0.5 MPa and 5211.5 N at 0.7 MPa, both already net of the return spring. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa (28 psi), the operating range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, and speed runs 50-500 mm/s. Air filtered to 40 um is required, and the rod is 25 mm with a male thread (B code) on a 1/4" PT port.
Order the ASE100X10, the current-production ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 100 mm bore, 10 mm stroke and force class, and takes the same FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis hardware. Because the ASP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap. If you need position sensing, the -S magnet option enables CMSE or DMSE switches.
