This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ASE100X10SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ASE100X10SB 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 ASP100X10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP100X10SB 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 ASE100X10SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP100X10SB
A single acting push cylinder with spring return, the discontinued ASP100X10SB uses a 100 mm bore to deliver 3640.7 N of rod force at 0.5 MPa (5211.5 N at 0.7 MPa), both figures already net of the return spring. Air extends the rod and the spring retracts it, so one air line is enough and the unit starts moving from 0.2 MPa. The 10 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-release moves, and the male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to standard knuckles.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters inside tight press fixtures and guarding. Because this model carries the -S magnet code, CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke signals. For sizing, halve the 371 kg force equivalent and you can lift about 185 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin; plan on roughly 2180 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa. This model is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is ASE100X10, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ASE100X10SB (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 ASP100X10SB Is Used
Press fixture clamping
The 3640.7 N net push at 0.5 MPa clamps machined housings in a 10 mm-stroke nest, with the spring retracting the platen the moment air is dumped.
Gate pinning on packaging lines
A short 10 mm pin driven by the 25 mm male-thread rod locks a rotary indexing table; the 1/4" port keeps air response fast at 50-500 mm/s.
Presence check with switch feedback
With the -S magnet fitted, a DMSE switch confirms the rod fully extended against a cast part before the robot cell advances.
Replacing the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP100X10SB with the ASE100X10SB
At 0.5 MPa this 100 mm bore pushes 3640.7 N net of the spring; if your fixture needs less, the 80 mm ASP80X10SB gives 2316.2 N in the same compact family, while there is no larger bore in the range. Remember the spring returns the rod home on air loss - it will not hold a mid-stroke position. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis) and the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches should be matched to the fixture. Order the ASE100X10 replacement, confirming ISO 21287 dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ASE100X10SB
- ✓ 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 ASP100X10SB FAQ
Push force is 3640.7 N at 0.5 MPa and 5211.5 N at 0.7 MPa, both already net of the return spring. Working pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, speed 50-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, and a 1/4" port on the 100 mm bore. The 10 mm stroke is within the standard range for this bore.
The hard-anodized aluminium short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. The ASP family is discontinued; ASE100X10 is the current-production drop-in with the same bore, stroke and force class - verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before converting.
