This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED40X60S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED40X60S 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 ACPD40X60S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD40X60S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED40X60S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD40X60S
A double acting compact cylinder with a through rod, the ACPD40X60S pushes and pulls with the same 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa (800.5 N at 0.7 MPa) because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 40 mm bore. A rod exits each cover, so the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool while the through-rod design resists rotation and side load. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signaling.
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 gantries. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED40X60, and buyers should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a planning figure, expect about 343 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 29 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED40X60S (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 ACPD40X60S Is Used
Symmetric fixture clamping
The through rod clamps a machined aluminum bracket from both sides of a CNC jig with an equal 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa, so the fixture needs no second cylinder.
Gated conveyor stopper
With the -S magnet driving CMSE switches, the 60 mm stroke raises and lowers a stopper blade on a bottling line conveyor at up to 500 mm/s.
Lab slide push-pull
A sample tray on a pharmaceutical testing bench is shuttled both ways by the twin rods, giving 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa in whichever direction the cycle demands.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD40X60S with the ACED40X60S
At 40 mm bore this cylinder delivers 571.8 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa. Step down to the 32 mm bore (345.6 N) for lighter clamping, or up to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) when the load needs more than double the force. The 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalog item, not a made-to-order build. Because a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the -S magnet in this model pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACED40X60 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED40X60S
- ✓ 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 ACPD40X60S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, output is equal both ways: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, on the rod-side area of the 40 mm bore. At 1.0 MPa the peak reaches about 116.6 kgf. Operating pressure 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 60 mm stroke is within the 200 mm standard maximum for this bore.
The ACPD40X60S is no longer in production. The current drop-in is the ACED40X60, the ISO 21287 successor in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard face. FA/FB flange and LB foot brackets, plus the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, carry over in the ACED family.
