This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X100B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X100B 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 ACPD80X100B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X100B 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 ACED80X100B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X100B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod exiting BOTH covers, the ACPD80X100B pushes and pulls with identical force because both strokes work on the rod-side area: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa. The 80 mm bore drives a 20 mm through-rod over a 100 mm stroke, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and speeds of 30-500 mm/s. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) on air filtered to 40 um, with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi) and a -20 to +70 C temperature window.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into wide gantry carriages and heavy clamp fixtures where a full-length body will not fit. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag or a second tool. Plan on roughly 1414 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of rating), which corresponds to lifting about 72 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED80X100, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X100B (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 ACPD80X100B Is Used
Pneumatic press for bushing insertion
The 2356.2 N symmetric output at 0.5 MPa presses bronze bushings into aluminium pump housings on an automotive subassembly line, with the 100 mm stroke clearing fixture loading.
Reciprocating shuttle on a packaging conveyor
A rod on each cover lets the through-rod drive a case pusher from either end at 30-500 mm/s, equalizing force in both travel directions without a second cylinder.
Lift-assist post in a machine tending cell
The rear rod carries a sensor flag while the front rod raises a 70 kg robot gripper bracket, staying inside the roughly 72 kg vertical-lift margin at 0.5 MPa.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X100B with the ACED80X100B
At 80 mm bore this is the second-largest ACPD size, delivering 2356.2 N in both directions at 0.5 MPa. Step down to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) for lighter press-fit or clamp jobs, or step up to the 100 mm bore (3681.6 N) when the load approaches the 2:1 margin on this size. The 100 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 80, so no made-to-order length is needed. The B code gives a male rod thread on the 20 mm rod; ports are 1/4" PT. This unit carries no magnet, so position switches cannot be fitted - order the -S variant if you need CMSE / DMSE switches. Because a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, pair it with a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. For new projects, specify the ACED80X100 instead: same bore, stroke and force class, currently in production.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X100B
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X100B FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal in both directions (both strokes use the rod-side area): 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the bore 80 port is 1/4" PT with a 20 mm male-thread rod (B code).
The ACPD family is no longer in production. The current drop-in is the ACED80X100 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class with a matching short body and mounting family (FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis and more). Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACP was built to a DIN standard. If you need position sensing, order the -S code so CMSE / DMSE switches can be used.
