This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X160S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X160S 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 ACPD80X160S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X160S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 160mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED80X160S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X160S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X160S 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 20 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped straight on. Stroke is 160 mm, well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight gantries and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and the hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod running at 30-500 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air. Note: the ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is the ACED80X160 - same bore, stroke and force class - so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before you swap. As a planning figure, treat roughly 1414 N (about 144 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin) as the usable output at 0.5 MPa.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X160S (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 ACPD80X160S Is Used
Symmetric press fixture
The equal 2356.2 N force in both directions lets one 80 mm cylinder form and eject on a sheet-metal press jig without reversing the port plumbing between cycles.
Pusher with rear sensor flag
On a bottling line, the back-end rod of the through-rod drives a flag past a CMSE switch (enabled by the -S magnet) to confirm each 160 mm pusher stroke.
Counterbalanced lift column
A rod on each cover balances the load in a packaging-machine lift column, where the 20 mm rod resists the side load of an off-centre product tray.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X160S with the ACED80X160S
At 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 80 mm bore covers clamping and press-fit work around the 140 kg lift mark once you keep a 2:1 margin. If your load is lighter, the 63 mm bore delivers 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need more, the 100 mm bore reaches 3681.6 N. Remember that 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 mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the -S magnet on this model accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACED80X160 as the current replacement and verify mounting dimensions against the datasheet.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X160S
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X160S 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 of the 80 mm bore. At 1.0 MPa the peak is 480.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C on air filtered to 40 um.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting. The ACPD family is discontinued: order the ACED80X160 as the current drop-in and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
