This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED63X80S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED63X80S 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 ACPD63X80S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X80S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 80mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED63X80S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X80S
This is a double acting compact cylinder with a double rod: a 16 mm piston rod exits both covers of the hard-anodized aluminium body, so the through-rod resists rotation and side load while giving a symmetric mount and a back-end rod that can carry a sensor flag. Because both strokes work on the rod-side area, output is equal in each direction - 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 63 mm bore on this 80 mm stroke unit runs at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um, across 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 gantries and guarding. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and the -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body. Note that ACPD is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACED63X80, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a sizing rule, plan on about 875 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X80S (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 (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1458 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2041 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 297 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 ACPD63X80S Is Used
Reciprocating conveyor pusher
The equal 1458.1 N force in both directions suits a packaging-line pusher that must index cartons on the return stroke as firmly as on the advance, with the 80 mm stroke clearing a 60 mm lane.
Gantry Z-axis part present check
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm both ends of an 80 mm press-fit or presence check on a machine-tool loading gantry, where the short body fits under the crossbeam.
Dual-sided fixture clamp
A rod on each cover lets one 63 mm cylinder clamp a machined aluminium housing from two faces in a CNC fixture, delivering about 2041.3 N per side at 0.7 MPa without a second cylinder.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X80S with the ACED63X80S
At 1458.1 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm unit sits between the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) and the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N), so step down when the load is lighter and up when it is heavier. The 80 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face, and since the magnet is fitted under the -S code you can add CMSE or DMSE switches for end-of-stroke sensing. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check. For new projects order ACED63X80, the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X80S
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X80S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the fixed TPU bumper decelerates the piston at each end.
Order ACED63X80, the current-production ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 63 mm bore, 80 mm stroke and force class, and accepts the same FA/FB flange and LB foot mounting family plus CMSE / DMSE switches. Because ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping.
