This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED32X70B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED32X70B 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 ACPD32X70B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X70B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 70mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X70B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X70B
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X70B delivers 345.6 N in either direction at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa), because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mounting face, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag or a second tool. Stroke is 70 mm, well inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding. In practice, plan on roughly 207 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 17 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries 1/8" PT ports, and the B code gives a male 12 mm rod thread. This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACED32X70, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X70B (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 (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 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 ACPD32X70B Is Used
Two-sided fixture clamping
The rear rod clamps the opposite jaw of a CNC fixture while the front rod presses the part, using the equal 345.6 N output of both strokes at 0.5 MPa.
Conveyor part pusher
A packaging line uses the 70 mm stroke to kick cartons sideways off a belt, with the through-rod keeping the pusher plate square under slight side load.
Gantry flag carrier
On a small assembly gantry, the back-end rod mounts a trigger flag for a proximity switch, while the front rod seats connectors in a 70 mm press station.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X70B with the ACED32X70B
At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this bore suits clamping and transfer tasks in the 200 N working range; step down to ACPD25 (206.2 N) for lighter fixtures or up to ACPD40 (571.8 N) for heavier presses. The 70 mm stroke is a standard length for bore 32, which runs to 200 mm. This unit has no magnet, so position switches cannot be fitted; order the -S version if you need CMSE or DMSE sensors. For a load that must stay put on air loss, add a rod lock or pilot check, since a plain through-rod cylinder drifts. Replacement: ACED32X70, same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X70B
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X70B FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, equal either way. At 1.0 MPa the peak is 70.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
Switches need the optional -S magnet; this ACPD32X70B has no magnet, so no CMSE or DMSE switch can be mounted on it. The ACPD family is discontinued, and the current-production successor is ACED32X70 (swap the P for an E), which matches the bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before converting your fixture.
