This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X10 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X10 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.

The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X10 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED80X10 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X10 delivers 2356.2 N in either direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore. The 10 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-release moves, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while giving a symmetric mount. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod is an ISO 21287 style short build, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight press fixtures and gantries. As a planning figure, count on about 1414 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED80X10, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X10 (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.
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2356 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3299 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 481 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).
| ACPD | DIN compact cylinder (double-rod, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 80 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×10 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (adjustable stroke).
The 2356.2 N symmetric force and 10 mm stroke suit short clamp-and-release moves on aluminium die-casting jigs, with equal clamp force on either rod end.
A through-rod on both covers lets a machine builder pin an indexing dial from one side while the rear rod carries a sensor flag on a -S magnet build.
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside warehouse conveyor guard frames where a full-length profile cylinder will not, pushing gates about 120 kg equivalent vertically.
At 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore sits between the 63 mm (1458.1 N) and 100 mm (3681.6 N) options; step down for lighter clamps or up for heavier presses. The 10 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm standard range for this bore. Remember the piston 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 CMSE / DMSE switches work only if you order the optional -S magnet. Order the ACED80X10 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal both ways: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, on the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore. At 1.0 MPa the ceiling is 480.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and a 1/4" PT port.
No, the ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is the ACED80X10, an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint. FA/FB flange and LB foot brackets, plus the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, carry over through the ACE family.
