This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED40X75S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED40X75S 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.

The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD40X75S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 75mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED40X75S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD40X75S pushes and pulls with identical force because each stroke works on the rod-side area: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The 40 mm bore drives a 12 mm through-rod over a 75 mm stroke, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and air supply from 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted on this unit, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACED40X75, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a sizing guide, the 571.8 N output at 0.5 MPa equals about 58 kgf, so plan on lifting roughly 29 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED40X75S (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.
| 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).
| ACPD | DIN compact cylinder (double-rod, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×75 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (adjustable stroke).
The 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa in both directions suits a small marking or staking press on an electronics assembly bench, with the 75 mm stroke clearing the part for manual loading.
A rod on each end lets the rear rod anchor a fixture while the front rod drives a sliding guide on a packaging machine, keeping the mount symmetric over the 30-500 mm/s speed range.
Because the -S magnet is fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm full clamp and release on an automotive subassembly jig without external proximity hardware.
At 571.8 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 40 mm bore suits clamping and press-fit work around 340 N of usable effort once you derate for real-world friction. Step down to the 32 mm bore (345.6 N) for lighter jigs or up to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) when the part weight grows. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face. This model is discontinued; order the ACED40X75 as the drop-in successor.
Replacement checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so output is equal each way: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 116.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 40 mm bore uses a 12 mm rod, a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 female rod thread. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s.
Order the ACED40X75, the current-production ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke and force class, and accepts the FA/FB flange and LB foot mounting family. Since the ACP follows a DIN-standard layout, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before the swap.
