This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED32X80SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED32X80SB 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 ACPD32X80SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X80SB 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 ACED32X80SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X80SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a piston rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X80SB pushes and pulls with identical force: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 32 mm bore carries a 12 mm through-rod with a male thread (the B code), fed by 1/8" ports, and the 80 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore. Operating window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body cuts roughly 50% of the mounting length compared with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding. The rear rod doubles as a sensor-flag carrier or an anti-rotation guide, and the fixed TPU bumpers at each end simply decelerate the piston - they never hold a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check where position must be kept. Plan on roughly 207 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rating), which is close to 21 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued; the current drop-in is ACED32X80, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X80SB (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 ACPD32X80SB Is Used
Two-sided fixture clamping
The through-rod lets a jig clamp a machined aluminium housing from the front while the rear rod drives a position flag for the PLC, with 345.6 N available on each stroke at 0.5 MPa.
Pusher on a packaging line
Equal force both ways makes the 80 mm stroke ideal for diverting cartons on and off a conveyor at 30-500 mm/s, with the short body fitting under low guard rails.
Gated assembly station
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm end-of-stroke on a rotary indexing table where the compact footprint saves about half the length of a full profile cylinder.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X80SB with the ACED32X80SB
At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore suits balanced push-pull jobs around 20 kg of vertical load with margin. Step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter clamping, or up to 40 mm (571.8 N) if the part weight grows. The male rod thread (B) and fitted -S magnet let CMSE or DMSE switches report position, while FA/FB flange or LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face. Since ACPD is discontinued, order ACED32X80 as the current-production equivalent and verify the mounting dimensions against your fixture.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X80SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X80SB FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke, with a peak of 70.5 kgf (705 N) at 1.0 MPa for this 32 mm bore. The rod is 12 mm with a male thread, ports are 1/8", and the standard stroke range for this bore runs to 200 mm, so 80 mm is a catalogue size.
Order ACED32X80, the current ISO 21287 replacement made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke and force class, and accepts the FA/FB flange and LB foot mounting family. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your existing DIN-standard fixture before the swap, and check the datasheet for any outline dimension not listed here.
