This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X125B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X125B 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 ACPD80X125B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X125B 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 ACED80X125B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X125B
This is a double acting compact cylinder with a through piston rod, so a rod exits both covers and the output force is equal in both directions - 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa on either stroke, since both sides work on the rod-side area. The male-threaded rod end (B code) on a 20 mm rod, the 1/4" PT ports and the fixed TPU bumper at each end suit symmetric push-pull tooling. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACED80X125.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, cutting roughly 50% of the mounting length compared with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight gantries and guarding where a full-length body will not. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 1414 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa (roughly 60% of rating), which translates to lifting about 72 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The magnet is not fitted on this code - order the -S variant if you need CMSE or DMSE switch sensing.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X125B (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 ACPD80X125B Is Used
Reciprocating conveyor pushers
The through rod drives a pusher bar from one side while the rear rod carries a sensor flag, with equal 2356.2 N force on both strokes at 0.5 MPa for symmetric indexing on packaging lines.
Press-fit stations for bushings
Male-threaded rod end accepts a custom press platen; 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa both ways suits pressing bronze bushings into aluminium housings on automotive sub-assembly benches.
Lift-assist scissor tables
With about 72 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the double rod resists the side load of a rising scissor linkage on small machine-loading lift tables.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X125B with the ACED80X125B
At 80 mm bore this is one of the larger compact sizes, delivering 2356.2 N both ways at 0.5 MPa; step down to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) for lighter clamping or up to the 100 mm bore (3681.6 N) for heavy press-style work. The 125 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Remember the through-rod does not hold position when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a suspended load. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Since the ACPD is discontinued, spec the ACED80X125 as the current equivalent and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X125B
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X125B FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is identical in both directions: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, both measured on the rod-side area. Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 480.5 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 125 mm stroke is within the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for the 80 mm bore.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short-format build, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange and LB foot options. A fixed TPU bumper decelerates the piston at each end only - it is not adjustable and never holds a load. This ACPD is discontinued; the current drop-in is the ACED80X125, so verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
