This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X100SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X100SB 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 ACPD80X100SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X100SB 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 ACED80X100SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X100SB
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X100SB pushes and pulls with identical force: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mounting point at each end, and the free back rod can carry a sensor flag. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight gantries and guarded stations. A hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome rod, a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note: the ACPD family is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is the ACED80X100, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 1414 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 72 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X100SB (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 ACPD80X100SB Is Used
Symmetric press station
The equal 2356.2 N force in both directions lets one 80 mm cylinder stake a bushing on the forward stroke and eject the finished part on the return, halving station count on a machining cell.
Pallet strapper tensioner
A through-rod driving strap guides from both sides keeps the 100 mm stroke square under the 1414 N working load, so PET banding pulls true on warehouse pallets.
Gantry part present check
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches on the body confirm end-of-stroke on a robotic load/unload gantry where the short body must fit between guard rails.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X100SB with the ACED80X100SB
At 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore covers medium clamping and pressing work; step down to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) for lighter loads or up to the 100 mm bore (3681.6 N) when you need more muscle. The 100 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order build. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. This SB version has a male rod thread and PT ports; FA/FB flange, LB foot and clevis brackets bolt straight to the face. Since the ACPD is discontinued, order the ACED80X100 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X100SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X100SB FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force 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 peak is 480.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 100 mm stroke is within the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
Order the ACED80X100, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 80 mm bore, 100 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACPD follows the older DIN-standard footprint. The ACED keeps the FA/FB flange, LB foot and clevis mounting family, and the -S magnet option for CMSE / DMSE switches.
