This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X150SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X150SB 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 ACPD80X150SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X150SB 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 ACED80X150SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X150SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a through rod, the ACPD80X150SB pushes a 20 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so the 80 mm bore delivers an identical 2356.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa) because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The male rod thread (B code) and the optional -S magnet this model carries let CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches report position on either stroke. Its hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and machine frames.
In practice that force means real work: budget roughly 1410 N (about 144 kgf) of usable thrust at 0.5 MPa, which is enough to lift about 72 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin on a pick-and-place riser. The through rod also resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, while fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-travel shock. Note this model is DISCONTINUED: the current-production drop-in is the ISO 21287 ACED80X150, same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X150SB (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 ACPD80X150SB Is Used
Reciprocating conveyor pushers
The equal 2356.2 N thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa suits a packaging line pusher that must index cartons forward and retract with the same authority, with the 150 mm stroke covering a full lane width.
Vertical lift risers on assembly fixtures
With about 72 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the 80 mm through rod raises and lowers a welding fixture riser, the back-end rod carrying a sensor flag for CMSE switches.
Clamp-and-counterclamp jigs
A machining jig that clamps from both sides uses the double rod to grip a casting with matched force on each face, the male rod thread taking I/Y knuckles directly.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X150SB with the ACED80X150SB
At 80 mm bore this is the second-largest ACPD size: 2356.2 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. Step down to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) for lighter risers, or up to the 100 mm bore (3681.6 N) when a vertical lift needs more headroom. The 150 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. Because a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. 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 ACED80X150 instead - this ACPD is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X150SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X150SB FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is EQUAL both ways: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, on the rod-side area, with a maximum of 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" port depends only on the 80 mm bore.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287-class short build, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and FA/FB or LB mounting options. The ACPD family is discontinued; the current drop-in is the ACED80X150 (swap the P for an E) in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before converting.
