This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X15 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X15 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 ACPD80X15
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X15 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 15mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED80X15 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X15
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X15 delivers 2356.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore. The 15 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-release moves where a full-length body would never fit: the ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, so the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and the hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod. Plan on roughly 1414 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued; the current drop-in is the ACED80X15, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X15 (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 ACPD80X15 Is Used
Press-head return on a stamping fixture
The 2356.2 N both-ways force retracts a heavy punch holder as hard as it extends, and the 15 mm stroke clears the die in one short move at up to 500 mm/s.
Reciprocating conveyor gate
A rod on each cover lets the front rod drive the gate while the rear rod carries a flag for CMSE / DMSE switches when the -S magnet is ordered.
Bottle-capping press on a filling line
About 1414 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa seats caps consistently, and the short ISO 21287 body slots into the tight headspace above the carousel.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X15 with the ACED80X15
At 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore sits between the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) and the 100 mm bore (3681.6 N), so step down if your jig is over-served and up if the press fit needs more. The 15 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm standard range for this bore. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet. Order the ACED80X15 as the current-production replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X15
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X15 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design uses the rod-side area on both strokes, so output is equal each way: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa, 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure 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" port matches the 80 mm bore.
The ACPD family is no longer in production; the current drop-in is the ACED80X15, which swaps the P for an E and matches the same 80 mm bore, 15 mm stroke and force class. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange and LB foot options - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard.
