This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X15B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X15B 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 ACPD80X15B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X15B 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 ACED80X15B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X15B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X15B pushes and pulls with identical force: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore. The male rod thread (B code) on each 20 mm rod accepts standard rod knuckles, and the 15 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-release moves. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production successor is the ACED80X15.
The short ISO 21287-class body cuts mounting length by roughly half compared with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight press fixtures and machine frames. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). For planning, count on about 1414 N of usable work force at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 144 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X15B (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 ACPD80X15B Is Used
Press-station clamping
The 15 mm stroke and 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa suit short-travel clamps on an aluminium die-casting fixture, with the male rod thread taking a standard knuckle.
Reciprocating guide carriage
A rod on each cover lets the through-rod drive a sliding guide table in a packaging machine, giving equal force in both directions and resisting side load.
Flag-driven position check
On a gantry pick station the rear rod can carry a flag for a proximity sensor, though the -S magnet code is needed for CMSE / DMSE switches on the body.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X15B with the ACED80X15B
If 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 63 mm bore delivers 1458.1 N both ways; if you need more, the 100 mm bore reaches 3681.6 N. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag or a second tool. This unit has no magnet fitted, so position switches cannot be mounted; order the -S code (ACPD80X15BSB) if CMSE / DMSE switches are planned. It does not hold position when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. For new builds, specify the ACED80X15 instead and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X15B
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X15B FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa per side, with a maximum of 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s. The 1/4" port serves the 80 mm bore and the rod thread is male (B code).
The ACPD family is no longer in production. The current drop-in is the ACED80X15, the ISO 21287 ACE-series equivalent with the same 80 mm bore, 15 mm stroke and force class. Since the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and the FA/FB flange or LB foot pattern before swapping. Also note the optional -S magnet must be ordered if CMSE / DMSE switch mounting is required.
