This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X80 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X80 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 ACPD100X80
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X80 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 80mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED100X80 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X80
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the AirTAC ACPD100X80 pushes with identical force in each direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa on a 100 mm bore. The 25 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, so the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short build that saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight presses and gantries. Plan on about 2209 N (roughly 225 kg) of usable push at 0.5 MPa, or about 187 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X80, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. Without the optional -S code there is no magnet and no CMSE / DMSE switching.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X80 (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 ACPD100X80 Is Used
Heavy press fixture
The 3681.6 N rod-side force at 0.5 MPa swages or stakes aluminium housings on an assembly line, and the symmetric through-rod keeps the tool square under side load.
Pallet lift-and-lower station
With about 187 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the double rod raises and lowers loaded pallets in a warehouse transfer cell, the rear rod driving a position flag.
Billet ejector on a forging line
The 80 mm stroke ejects hot steel billets from a die shoe, where the short ISO 21287 body fits the narrow space under the hammer frame.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X80 with the ACED100X80
At 3681.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 100 mm bore suits heavy clamping and lifting; step down to the 80 mm bore (about 2356 N) for lighter frames or accept that only a larger bore covers 5 kN class work. The 80 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order barrel is needed. Choose the female M16x1.5 rod thread as coded here, or add B for a male thread. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Since a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, pair a held load with a rod lock or pilot check. Order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switches. Replacement: ACED100X80.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X80
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X80 FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area: 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in each direction, with a maximum of 750.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um.
Order the ACED100X80, the current-production ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 100 mm bore, 80 mm stroke and force class, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint. FA/FB flange and LB foot brackets bolt to the same face family.
