This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X125 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X125 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 ACPD80X125
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X125 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 125mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED80X125 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X125
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X125 pushes and pulls with identical force because each stroke works on the rod-side area: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions. The 80 mm bore carries a 20 mm through-rod, a 1/4" port, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end on a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into press fixtures and gantries where a full-length body will not reach. The back-end rod doubles as a sensor-flag carrier or a symmetric second mount, and the through-rod resists rotation better than a single cantilevered rod. Plan on about 1414 N (roughly 144 kg) of usable push at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating. Note: this model is discontinued; the current-production successor is ACED80X125, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X125 (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 ACPD80X125 Is Used
Two-sided stamping fixture
The through-rod lets a punch die clamp from the front while the rear rod carries a workpiece-present flag, with 2356.2 N of equal force at 0.5 MPa on both strokes in a 125 mm envelope.
Gantry pick-and-place riser
A short body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder keeps the Z-axis riser inside tight gantry framing, and the symmetric rod mount balances the 125 mm stroke travel.
Bottle-line pusher gate
On a beverage conveyor, the 1/4" ported cylinder diverts cases with equal push and pull force, and fixed TPU bumpers soften the gate at both ends of the 125 mm travel.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X125 with the ACED80X125
Size by force, not bore alone: at 0.5 MPa the 80 mm double-rod gives 2356.2 N both ways; step down to a 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) for lighter clamping or up to a 100 mm bore (3681.6 N) for heavy tooling. The 125 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalog item, not a made-to-order build. This unit has no magnet fitted - order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch positions. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Since ACPD is discontinued, specify ACED80X125 as the drop-in and verify the mounting dimensions against the ISO 21287 drawing. For a load that must stay put on air loss, add a rod lock or pilot check - the bumper never holds position.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X125
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X125 FAQ
No - it is a double-rod cylinder, so force is equal both ways: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa on each stroke, with a maximum of 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For real work, plan on about 1414 N (roughly 144 kg) at 0.5 MPa, or about 120 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Order ACED80X125, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 80 mm bore, 125 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. The ACP is DIN-standard, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap. If you need position switches, the -S magnet option on the ACE enables CMSE / DMSE sensors; this ACPD unit ships without a magnet.
