This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X15SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X15SB 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 ACPD80X15SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X15SB 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 ACED80X15SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X15SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X15SB delivers 2356.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 80 mm bore pushes 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and the 15 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-return moves at 30-500 mm/s. The male rod thread (B code) and the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches make position feedback a bolt-on job.
The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight press fixtures and gantry clamps. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and the through-rod resists rotation while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Note the usable push is roughly 1414 N at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 72 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. This model is discontinued; the current drop-in is ACED80X15 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X15SB (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 ACPD80X15SB Is Used
Press-fit clamping of aluminium housings
The 2356.2 N symmetric force clamps gearbox housings in a machining fixture from both sides, with the 15 mm stroke clearing the part quickly at 30-500 mm/s.
Position-flagged gate on a packaging line
The rear rod carries a sensor flag while the -S magnet drives CMSE / DMSE switches, confirming end positions on a short-stroke divert gate.
Symmetric push-pull in a welding jig
Equal 3298.7 N force at 0.7 MPa in both directions lets one cylinder clamp and release toggle links in an automotive weld fixture without a second actuator.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X15SB with the ACED80X15SB
At 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 80 mm bore covers heavy clamping where a 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) falls short; if the load is lighter, a 50 mm bore (881.2 N) saves space and air. The 15 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm standard limit for this bore. Because a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the -S magnet this model carries accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. For new projects, order the ACED80X15 instead - same bore, stroke and force class, currently in production.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X15SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X15SB FAQ
Output is 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions because the double rod exposes the rod-side area on each stroke. Peak force is 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of air filtered to 40 um, proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, speed 30-500 mm/s, with a 20 mm rod, 1/4" PT port and male rod thread.
Order the ACED80X15, the current-production ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 80 mm bore, 15 mm stroke and force class, and its short body still saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint.
