This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED32X90SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED32X90SB 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 ACPD32X90SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X90SB is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 90mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X90SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X90SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod through both covers, the ACPD32X90SB delivers 345.6 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. The male-threaded 12 mm rod (B code) exits the front and rear covers, so the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool while the through-rod resists rotation and side load. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287 format, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs, guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Plan on about 207 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 17 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note: the ACPD family is discontinued; the current drop-in is ACED32X90, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X90SB (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 ACPD32X90SB Is Used
Two-sided press fixture
The through-rod lets a punch run off the front rod while the rear rod drives a part ejector, both delivering 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in a 90 mm stroke cycle.
Gantry pick station with position feedback
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm extend and retract on a packaging gantry where the short body must fit between guide rails.
Symmetric slide transfer
A conveyor divert slide needs equal force both ways; the rod-side area gives identical 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction without a valve change.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X90SB with the ACED32X90SB
At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) and the 40 mm bore (571.8 N), so pick 32 mm when a mid-range symmetric force fits the fixture. The 90 mm stroke is within the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face, and the -S magnet on this model pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. Since a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. For new projects, order the ACED32X90 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X90SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X90SB FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, both measured on the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. At the full 1.0 MPa rating the cylinder reaches about 70.5 kgf. Push and pull are identical, so no derating for the return stroke is needed.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the compact ISO 21287 format, roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU pad decelerates the piston at each end of the 90 mm stroke; it is not adjustable and does not hold a load. The ACPD is discontinued, so order the ACED32X90 and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap.
