This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X100 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X100 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 ACPD80X100
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X100 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED80X100 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X100
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder to the DIN-standard ACP layout: an 80 mm bore with a 20 mm rod exiting BOTH covers, so the thrust is identical on each stroke - 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions because both sides work on the rod-side area. 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 where a full-length body cannot fit.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 1/4" port, and the S45C hard-chrome rod runs at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). In practice, plan on about 1414 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa - roughly 72 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACED80X100 (swap the P for an E) in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X100 (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 (Ø80mm)
| 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).

Where the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X100 Is Used
Reciprocating conveyor pushers
The equal 2356.2 N thrust in both directions suits a pusher that must index cartons forward and retract with the same force, with the rear rod available for a position flag.
Gantry press stations
About 72 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin lets this 80 mm bore seat bearings or press dowels in a machine-tool fixture, and the short body fits low gantry heads.
Pallet diverter arms
The through-rod resists the side load of a diverter blade swinging pallets on a warehouse line, with the fixed TPU bumper absorbing the stroke ends at 30-500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X100 with the ACED80X100
At 80 mm bore this is the second-largest ACPD size: 2356.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, one step above the 63 mm (1458.1 N) and below the 100 mm (3681.6 N). Choose the 63 mm if your load is under about 88 kg equivalent lift; step to the 100 mm bore for heavy clamping above 220 kg. The 100 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. A plain double-rod cylinder does not hold position when air is lost - the piston drifts - so add a rod lock or pilot check for a suspended load. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and order the -S code if you need the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; this non-S version has no magnet. Replacement: ACED80X100, current production - verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X100
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X100 FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is EQUAL both ways (rod-side area): 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, with a maximum of 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, on air filtered to 40 um. A practical working figure is about 1414 N per direction - roughly 72 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, 20 mm S45C hard-chrome rod, 1/4" PT ports, female M12x1.75 rod thread and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face. The ACPD family is discontinued; the current drop-in is the ACED80X100 (P changed to E) in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
