This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X150S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X150S 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 ACPD80X150S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X150S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 150mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED80X150S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X150S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod through both covers, the ACPD80X150S 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 in either direction. The 80 mm bore and 150 mm stroke sit inside the 300 mm standard stroke limit for this bore, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight press fixtures and gantry frames. For sizing, plan on about 1414 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, which corresponds to lifting roughly 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs the stroke ends, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 20 mm S45C hard-chrome rod, and 1/4" ports feed air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note that this ACPD model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACED80X150, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X150S (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 ACPD80X150S Is Used
Benchtop press and forming station
The 2356.2 N symmetric output at 0.5 MPa suits small crimping, staking and forming heads where the same force is needed on the return stroke to strip the part off the tool.
Reciprocating conveyor pusher
A rod on both covers lets the rear rod carry a switch flag while the front rod pushes cartons sideways on a packaging line at speeds up to 500 mm/s, with the TPU bumpers absorbing each reversal.
Dual-side weld fixture clamp
Equal force in both directions clamps a bracket between two opposing pads on a single piston, and the -S magnet feeds CMSE / DMSE switch signals to the PLC for clamped verification.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X150S with the ACED80X150S
At 80 mm bore this is the second-largest ACPD size: it delivers 2356.2 N both ways at 0.5 MPa, while a 63 mm bore gives 1458.1 N and a 100 mm bore reaches 3681.6 N, so step up only if your press or clamp needs over 2400 N. The 150 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm standard limit for this bore. Because the piston drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and this -S version already includes the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. Since ACPD is discontinued, order ACED80X150 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X150S
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X150S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, output is identical on both strokes: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal push and pull, with 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 range 30-500 mm/s, and the 150 mm stroke sits within the 300 mm standard limit for the 80 mm bore. In practice, budget about 1414 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, roughly a 120 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, 20 mm S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and 1/4" ports. The ACPD family is no longer in production: the current drop-in is ACED80X150, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your existing fixture before ordering.
