This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X125S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X125S 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 ACPD80X125S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X125S 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 ACED80X125S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X125S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X125S is an 80 mm bore compact cylinder in the discontinued ACPD family. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, it delivers 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa in BOTH directions - there is no push/pull imbalance. The 125 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, and the through-rod on the rear cover gives you a symmetric mount plus a ready place to carry a sensor flag.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. At 0.5 MPa plan on roughly 1414 N of real work (about 60% of the rating), which corresponds to lifting about 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted. Note the family is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ISO 21287 ACED80X125, same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X125S (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 ACPD80X125S Is Used
Bench-top press for aluminium fittings
The 2356.2 N both-way force at 0.5 MPa crimps and seats fittings on the forward stroke and ejects the part on the return with identical force - no separate return spring or second cylinder needed.
Reciprocating carrier on a packaging line
A rod on each cover lets the through-rod drive a shuttle from both ends and resist side load, while the 125 mm stroke shuttles trays between two conveyor lanes at up to 500 mm/s.
Position-flagged gantry clamp
The rear rod carries a switch flag, and because this unit carries the -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm clamped and released positions directly on the barrel.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X125S with the ACED80X125S
Choose the ACPD80X125S when a clamp, press or lifter needs equal force in both directions: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa either way, about 240 kgf equivalent. If the job needs less, the 63 mm bore gives 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa; if it needs more, the 100 mm bore reaches 3681.6 N. Remember a plain double-rod cylinder will drift when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the -S magnet on this unit accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. For new designs, order the ACED80X125 instead - this ACPD model is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X125S
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X125S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal both ways: 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. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, on air filtered to 40 um.
Order the ACED80X125, the ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 80 mm bore, 125 mm stroke and force class with a short aluminium body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap, and re-specify the -S magnet if you rely on CMSE / DMSE switches.
