This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X35B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X35B 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.

The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X35B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 35mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED80X35B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder in the AirTAC ACP DIN-standard series, now discontinued. A 20 mm rod exits both covers of the hard-anodized aluminium body, so the 80 mm bore delivers an equal 2356.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and a male rod thread (B code) on both rod ends. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
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 presses and gantries. For sizing, treat roughly 1414 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa rating) as the usable working force; that corresponds to lifting about 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model ships without a magnet - the optional -S code is required for CMSE / DMSE switches. As the ACPD is no longer produced, order the current ACED80X35 and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X35B (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.
| 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).
| ACPD | DIN compact cylinder (double-rod, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 80 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×35 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (adjustable stroke).
The 2356.2 N through-rod force presses standoffs into 120 kg-class fixture plates in a compact cell where a full-length profile cylinder will not fit.
Equal force both ways suits a vertical push-pull slide raising and lowering carton chutes at 30-500 mm/s, with the rear rod carrying a position flag.
The 35 mm stroke clamps machined gear blanks between symmetric rod ends, with the through-rod resisting side load on the fixture jaw.
At 80 mm bore this is one of the strongest ACPD sizes, with 2356.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa against 1458.1 N for a 63 mm bore; step to 100 mm (3681.6 N) if you need more. The 35 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalog item, not made to order. The B code gives male rod threads - pick I/Y knuckles to suit. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Remember it drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load, and specify ACED80X35 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
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, both using the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore. Maximum output at 1.0 MPa is about 480.5 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
The short ISO 21287-class aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange and LB foot options and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The ACPD is discontinued; the current drop-in is ACED80X35 - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
