This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED100X80S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED100X80S 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 ACPD100X80S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X80S 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 ACED100X80S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X80S
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP layout, the ACPD100X80S pushes a 100 mm bore through an 80 mm stroke and delivers 3681.6 N in BOTH directions at 0.5 MPa, because a 25 mm rod exits each cover and every stroke works on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod is an ISO 21287 short-body build that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses, gantries and fixture plates where a full-length body will not fit. At 0.5 MPa, plan on roughly 2209 N (about 60% of rating) of usable work, which is around 375 kgf, or about 187 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that this ACPD model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED100X80, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED100X80S (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 ACPD100X80S Is Used
Baler ram with dual tooling
A rod on each cover lets a scrap baler or baling press clamp from both faces with the same 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa, no reverse-side piston needed.
Gantry pick-and-place flag rail
The rear 25 mm rod carries a sensor flag for CMSE / DMSE switches on this -S model, giving end-position feedback on an automotive gantry without extra hardware.
Pallet-stacker side-shift slide
Equal force both ways (5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa) suits a warehouse side-shifter that must push loaded pallets left and right with identical authority.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD100X80S with the ACED100X80S
At 3681.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore sits at the top of the ACPD range; there is no larger bore in the family, so step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) if your load allows, or move to the ACED line for other sizes. The 80 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and this unit already carries the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. For new designs, order the ACED100X80 instead and confirm the mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED100X80S
- ✓ 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 ACPD100X80S FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so a 25 mm rod exits both covers and every stroke uses the rod-side area. Output is 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154.2 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions, 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, air filtered to 40 um, and the 80 mm stroke sits within the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family. The current-production replacement is the ACED100X80 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact double-rod cylinder in the same 100 mm bore, 80 mm stroke and force class. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard layout. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches work on it today.
