This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED50X150 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED50X150 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 ACPD50X150
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X150 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 150mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED50X150 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X150
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD50X150 pushes and pulls with the same 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa (1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa), because each stroke works on the rod-side area. The 50 mm bore drives a 16 mm through-rod over a 150 mm stroke, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and ports sized 1/8". Supply air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi); proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed range 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short build that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and fixture plates. At 0.5 MPa the 881.2 N rating equals roughly 90 kgf, so plan on lifting about 45 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. This model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED50X150, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The magnet is not fitted on this code; order the optional -S version if you need CMSE / DMSE switch positions.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED50X150 (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 (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 881 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1234 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 180 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 ACPD50X150 Is Used
Reciprocating transfer arm
The through-rod carries a part gripper on the front end and a counterweight or sensor flag on the rear rod, moving trays between two conveyor stations with equal 881.2 N force in each direction.
Press-fit anvil on both faces
A 150 mm stroke with a rod on each cover lets a small electronics assembly cell press bushings from either side of a fixture using one cylinder instead of two.
Flag-driven position feedback
On a packaging machine indexing slide, the rear rod carries a magnetic flag past CMSE / DMSE switches (when the optional -S magnet is ordered) to confirm end positions without extra brackets.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X150 with the ACED50X150
Size between bores: the ACPD40X150 gives 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa, while the ACPD63X150 reaches 1458.1 N, so pick the 50 mm when your load sits between those. Keep the working force near 530 N of the 881.2 N rating for real work at 0.5 MPa. Note that a plain through-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches. This model is discontinued; the ACED50X150 is the current replacement in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED50X150
- ✓ 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 ACPD50X150 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa on the rod-side area, with a maximum of 179.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, bore 50 mm, stroke 150 mm, rod 16 mm, port 1/8".
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 compact format, cutting about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange and LB foot options. The ACPD50X150 is discontinued; order the ACED50X150 as the current drop-in and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap.
