This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED50X200 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED50X200 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 ACPD50X200
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X200 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 200mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED50X200 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X200
Double acting with a rod exiting BOTH covers, the ACPD50X200 delivers 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 50 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight machine frames. Plan on roughly 529 N (about 54 kg) of usable thrust at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 27 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is DISCONTINUED: the current-production drop-in is the ACED50X200, same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED50X200 (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 ACPD50X200 Is Used
Symmetric CNC part ejector
The through-rod pushes finished aluminium housings off a machining fixture from either side, with 881.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa and the 200 mm stroke clearing a deep pocket.
Bidirectional conveyor gate
A rod on both covers lets one cylinder divert cartons left or right on a packaging line, since force is equal both ways and the rear rod can carry a position flag.
Lab press with mirrored tooling
The 50 mm bore applies about 529 N of usable force to each of two opposed sample holders mounted on the twin rod ends, inside a frame too short for a full-length profile cylinder.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X200 with the ACED50X200
At 881.2 N per side, the 50 mm bore sits mid-range: step down to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) for lighter clamping, or up to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) if your jig needs more margin. The 200 mm stroke is within the 250 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order build is required. If the load must stay put when air is lost, remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts - add a rod lock or pilot check. Choose the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no magnet is fitted. This model is discontinued - order the ACED50X200 instead and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED50X200
- ✓ 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 ACPD50X200 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is EQUAL both ways: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 179.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed 30-500 mm/s.
Order the ACED50X200, the current-production ISO 21287 successor (swap the P for an E). It matches the same 50 mm bore, 200 mm stroke and force class, and accepts FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot and FTC mounting. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN standard.
