This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED50X200SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED50X200SB 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 ACPD50X200SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X200SB 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 ACED50X200SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X200SB
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD50X200SB pushes and pulls with identical output: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, since both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 50 mm bore. The 16 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mounting face, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers pad both ends. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s at 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, which is why it suits tight jigs and guarding on packaging and assembly lines. At 0.5 MPa, plan on about 529 N (roughly 53 kg) of usable thrust rather than the full rating, so it lifts about 26 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued; the current drop-in is ACED50X200, and you should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED50X200SB (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 ACPD50X200SB Is Used
Symmetric carton press
The equal 881.2 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa lets one cylinder both press a fold flap and retract the fixture on a packaging line, with the 200 mm stroke clearing the box stack.
Two-sided gantry actuator
Front and rear 16 mm rods drive a tool plate and a sensor flag at once on a pick-and-place gantry, keeping the mount symmetric and rotation-resistant at 30-500 mm/s.
Compact fixture clamp
With about 50% of the length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder saved, the short body clamps aluminium extrusions inside a tight machining jig where a full-length body cannot fit.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X200SB with the ACED50X200SB
Size both ways before ordering: a 40 mm bore gives 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 63 mm bore yields 1458.1 N, so pick the 50 mm only if your load sits between those figures. The 200 mm stroke is within the 250 mm standard limit for this bore. Because a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. This SB version carries the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches and a male rod thread; the discontinued model is replaced by ACED50X200.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED50X200SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD50X200SB FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 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) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
The ACPD50X200SB is no longer in production; the current drop-in is ACED50X200, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard. This SB version carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted on the body.
