This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED32X80S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED32X80S 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 ACPD32X80S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X80S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 80mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X80S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X80S
This ACPD32X80S is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder in the discontinued AirTAC ACP series: a 32 mm bore with an 80 mm stroke, a 12 mm rod exiting BOTH covers, and a female M8x1.25 rod thread. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in both directions - push and pull are identical. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted on this unit, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the hard-anodized aluminium body. Running range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantry frames. In practice, plan on about 207 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, and for vertical work the rod-side thrust equates to roughly 35 kg, so with a 2:1 margin it lifts about 17 kg. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACED32X80, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X80S (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 ACPD32X80S Is Used
Symmetric clamp fixture
The through-rod pushes a clamp pad on one side while the rear rod drives a position flag, delivering 345.6 N of equal clamping force in both directions at 0.5 MPa on a CNC jig.
Reciprocating slide drive
Identical push and pull force makes the 80 mm stroke ideal for a shuttle table that must move at the same 30-500 mm/s speed and torque both ways, with CMSE switches confirming end positions.
Small-parts press station
With about 207 N of usable thrust and roughly 17 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, this bore presses bearings into housings on an electronics assembly line.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X80S with the ACED32X80S
At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore suits clamping and transfer tasks up to roughly 207 N of real work; step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter fixtures or up to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) when the load grows. The 80 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the mounting face. Since a plain through-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. This model is discontinued - order ACED32X80 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X80S
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X80S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means a 12 mm rod exits both covers, so both strokes use the rod-side area. Output is 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, with a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/8" port serves the 32 mm bore.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight gantries and fixtures. This S-coded unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount on the body for end-position sensing. A fixed TPU bumper decelerates at each end. The model is discontinued - the current drop-in is ACED32X80; confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
