This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED50X65SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED50X65SB 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 ACPD50X65SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X65SB is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 65mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED50X65SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X65SB
Double acting with a rod exiting both covers, the ACPD50X65SB delivers 881.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa) because 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 mount, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped straight on.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, cutting roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in tight jigs and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and the male rod thread (B code) with 1/8" PT ports keeps plumbing simple. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED50X65, same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a planning figure, treat about 529 N (roughly 54 kg) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED50X65SB (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 ACPD50X65SB Is Used
Symmetric jig clamping
The 881.2 N through-rod clamps aluminium die-cast housings from both ends on a machining fixture, keeping the fixture footprint short enough for a crowded CNC table.
Two-sided packaging pusher
A 65 mm stroke pushes cartons off a conveyor with the front rod while the rear rod trips a CMSE switch flag, using the same 50 mm bore for balanced force both ways.
Lab press positioning
The male-threaded 16 mm rod drives a small test press platen at 30-500 mm/s, where the short ISO 21287 body fits inside a guarded bench-top frame.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD50X65SB with the ACED50X65SB
At 881.2 N per direction, the 50 mm bore sits between the 40 mm (571.8 N) and 63 mm (1458.1 N) options at 0.5 MPa, so step down if force is generous or up to the 63 mm for heavier clamping. The through-rod suits symmetric tooling, and the male thread accepts standard rod knuckles. Remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. For new builds, order the ACED50X65 instead, as this ACPD version is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED50X65SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD50X65SB 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, 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), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 65 mm stroke sits well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for the 50 mm bore.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 compact format, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting. The S in the model code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke signalling. This model is discontinued; the ACED50X65 is the current drop-in, so verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
