This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X175SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X175SB 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 ACPD80X175SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X175SB is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 175mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED80X175SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X175SB
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X175SB 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, equal in both directions. The 80 mm bore drives a 20 mm through-rod over a 175 mm stroke at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and 1/4" ports. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body.
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 cannot fit. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod handle 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of filtered air from -20 to +70 C. In practice, plan on roughly 1410 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 72 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that this model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACED80X175, a drop-in successor in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X175SB (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 ACPD80X175SB Is Used
Gantry pick-and-place
The symmetric through-rod carries a gripper on the front rod and a switch flag on the rear rod, sliding a 70 kg casting between two CNC stations inside a guard where a full-length profile cylinder would not fit.
Press-fit of bushings
With 2356.2 N available in both directions at 0.5 MPa, the cylinder presses bushings into aluminium housings on the forward stroke and ejects the finished part on the return, no reversal of force needed.
Conveyor pusher arm
The male-threaded 20 mm rod drives a pusher bar that diverts cartons off a packaging line at 30-500 mm/s, with CMSE switches reporting both end positions thanks to the fitted -S magnet.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X175SB with the ACED80X175SB
At 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore sits between the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) and the 100 mm bore (3681.6 N), so step down if your load is under 145 kgf and up if you need more margin. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag. FA/FB flange and LB foot brackets bolt to the standard face, and the -S magnet on this unit pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must hold. Order the ACED80X175 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X175SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X175SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal either way: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" ports take filtered air.
Order the ACED80X175, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 80 mm bore, 175 mm stroke and force class in a short-body aluminium cylinder with the FA/FB and LB mounting family. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint.
