This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED50X60 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED50X60 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 ACPD50X60
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X60 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED50X60 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X60
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD50X60 delivers 881.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa 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 mounting face, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the piston at both ends. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over an operating pressure of 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, cutting roughly 50% of the mounting length compared with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries. At 0.5 MPa the 881.2 N output equates to about 90 kgf, so plan on lifting roughly 45 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is the ACED50X60, a drop-in successor in the same bore, stroke and force class.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED50X60 (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 ACPD50X60 Is Used
Two-sided press fixture
The through-rod lets a 60 mm stroke clamp a housing from both covers in one machine cycle, with 881.2 N available in each direction at 0.5 MPa.
Bottling line pusher
The rear rod carries a flag for a CMSE or DMSE switch (with the optional -S magnet) so the filler PLC confirms each 50 mm bore push at 30-500 mm/s.
Gantry pick-and-place
The short ISO 21287 body fits under low gantry beams, and the symmetric double rod keeps a gripper plate square while lifting about 45 kg with a 2:1 margin.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X60 with the ACED50X60
At 881.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 50 mm bore sits between the 40 mm (571.8 N) and 63 mm (1458.1 N) options, so step down for lighter clamping or up for heavier presses. The 60 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm standard limit for this bore. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet. This model is discontinued - order the ACED50X60 and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED50X60
- ✓ 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 ACPD50X60 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, both on the rod-side area of the 50 mm bore. At 1.0 MPa the maximum is 179.7 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU pad at each cover simply decelerates the piston at end of travel; it is not adjustable and never holds a load. The 1/8" port, M10x1.5 female rod thread and 16 mm rod match the DIN-standard face, and the ACED50X60 is the current replacement.
