This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X10S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X10S 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 ACPD80X10S 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 ACED80X10S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X10S delivers 2356.2 N in either direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 80 mm bore turns 0.7 MPa into 3298.7 N each way, and the through-rod on the back cover doubles as a mounting point or sensor-flag carrier. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod follows the short ISO 21287-style layout, cutting roughly 50% of the mounting length compared with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - useful in tight press fixtures and gantries. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" ports take air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note the family is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACED80X10, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 1410 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 72 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X10S (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 10 mm stroke and 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa press connectors or bearings into housings on a PCB or consumer-electronics line, with equal force on retract to strip the part off the mandrel.
A rod on each cover lets one cylinder push the molded part out and pull the ejector plate back with the same 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while the back rod carries a flag for a DMSE switch to confirm return.
The through-rod resists rotation and light side load on a short-traverse slide moving cartons between two stops, and the short body fits the narrow gantry frame where a full-length cylinder will not.
At 10 mm stroke this is a short-throw clamping or positioning actuator: 2356.2 N both ways at 0.5 MPa suits a 100-150 kg press or hold job where equal force in extend and retract matters. If the load is lighter, the 63 mm bore gives 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need more, the 100 mm bore reaches 3681.6 N. Remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. This unit already includes the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face. Since ACPD is discontinued, order ACED80X10 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal each way: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa, 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 480.5 kgf at the 1.0 MPa maximum. 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 1/4" ports take air filtered to 40 um.
Order the ACED80X10, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 80 mm bore, 10 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. The ACP series is DIN-standard, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping. This particular unit carries the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; on the ACED check the equivalent sensor option when you order.
