This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED40X10 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED40X10 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 ACPD40X10
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD40X10 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED40X10 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD40X10
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD40X10 delivers 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area - there is no push/pull imbalance to design around. The 40 mm bore and short 10 mm stroke suit tight clamping stations, and the ISO 21287-class short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into cramped jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag in pick-and-place rigs. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and the hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome rod. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED40X10 (swap the P for an E) in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As coded here there is no magnet; order the -S version if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED40X10 (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 (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 572 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 800 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 117 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 ACPD40X10 Is Used
Press-fit staking in electronics assembly
The 571.8 N bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa presses connectors and standoffs into PCB housings, and the 10 mm stroke keeps the tooling plate travel short inside a guarded cell.
Reciprocating shuttle on a packaging line
With a rod on both covers, the rear rod can drive a return flag or sensor target while the front rod pushes cartons - one cylinder, two working ends, equal 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa.
Clamp-and-eject fixture on a CNC fixture plate
The through-rod resists side load when clamping angled brackets, and the compact body fits between fixture rails where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder would be roughly twice as long.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD40X10 with the ACED40X10
At 0.5 MPa this bore gives 571.8 N either way; plan on roughly 343 N (about 35 kgf) of usable work force rather than the full rating, which corresponds to lifting about 29 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. If your load is lighter, the 32 mm bore (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa) saves space; if heavier, step up to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa). FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread takes standard rod knuckles. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. Order the ACED40X10 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED40X10
- ✓ 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 ACPD40X10 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 116.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 12 mm rod ends in a female M8x1.25 thread with a 1/8" port.
Order the ACED40X10, the current-production ISO 21287 successor (swap the P for an E). It matches the same 40 mm bore, 10 mm stroke and force class, and takes the same FA/FB flange and LB foot mounting family. Because the ACP is a DIN-standard compact body, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping. If you need position sensing, the -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switches.
