This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED50X200S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED50X200S 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 ACPD50X200S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X200S 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 ACED50X200S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X200S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod through both covers, the ACPD50X200S delivers 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 50 mm bore drives a 16 mm rod over a 200 mm stroke, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and speeds of 30-500 mm/s. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), fluid filtered to 40 um, and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped to the body for end-of-stroke sensing.
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, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. For planning, treat about 529 N (roughly 60% of the rated push) as the usable force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 27 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is the ACED50X200, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED50X200S (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 ACPD50X200S Is Used
Symmetric clamp fixtures
The equal 881.2 N force in both directions lets one cylinder clamp and release a machined housing in a CNC fixture with identical grip either way.
Pusher arms on packaging lines
A through-rod pusher on a carton conveyor uses the front rod to divert boxes while the rear rod carries a flag for the CMSE switch, at 30-500 mm/s.
Reciprocating slide tables
The 200 mm stroke drives a small inspection slide back and forth in an electronics test rig, with the second rod supporting a symmetric mount.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X200S with the ACED50X200S
At 881.2 N per side, the 50 mm bore sits mid-range: step down to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping, or up to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) when the load demands more. The 200 mm stroke is within the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Because the piston 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 mountings bolt to the same face, and the -S magnet on this unit pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACED50X200 for current production and verify the ISO 21287 footprint first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED50X200S
- ✓ 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 ACPD50X200S FAQ
As a double-rod cylinder, force is equal in both directions: 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 runs 30-500 mm/s. The rod is 16 mm with an M10x1.5 female thread, the port is 1/8" PT, and the 200 mm stroke sits inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
No - the ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is the ACED50X200, the ISO 21287 successor with the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard. This unit already carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount directly.
