This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED50X200B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED50X200B 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 ACPD50X200B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X200B 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 ACED50X200B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X200B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD50X200B pushes and pulls with identical force because each stroke works on the rod-side area: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions. The 16 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and gantries. In practice, plan on about 529 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 45 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 ACED50X200B (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 ACPD50X200B Is Used
Reciprocating conveyor pushers
The through-rod drives a pusher plate from either side with the same 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa, ideal for diverting cartons on a packaging line at 30-500 mm/s.
Symmetric clamp fixtures
On a machining fixture, the male rod thread on both ends lets you bolt clamping fingers front and rear, with about 529 N of practical clamping force at 0.5 MPa.
Press transfer arms
The rear rod carries a sensor flag for stroke feedback while the front rod lifts roughly 45 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, moving parts between press stations.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X200B with the ACED50X200B
At 50 mm bore you get 881.2 N both ways at 0.5 MPa; step down to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) if the load is lighter, or up to 63 mm (1458.1 N) for heavier tooling. This unit has the male rod thread (B code) and PT ports, and no magnet is fitted - order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting bolts to the standard face. A plain double-rod cylinder will not hold position when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a suspended load. Order the ACED50X200 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED50X200B
- ✓ 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 ACPD50X200B FAQ
Because the 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, both ways, on the rod-side area. Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 179.7 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short-format build, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange and LB foot options and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. This ACPD50X200B is discontinued; the ACED50X200 is the current drop-in in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
