This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X35S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X35S 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 ACPD80X35S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X35S 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 ACED80X35S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X35S
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP pattern, the ACPD80X35S pushes a 20 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so its 80 mm bore delivers an identical 2356.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, both ways). The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body. Note: the ACPD family is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is the ACED80X35.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight gantries and guarded stations. At 0.5 MPa, plan on about 1414 N (roughly 144 kgf) of real work, or about 72 kg of safe vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and the hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome rod. Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping to the ACED.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X35S (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 ACPD80X35S Is Used
Symmetric CNC fixture clamping
The 2356.2 N equal push and pull at 0.5 MPa clamps and releases a machining fixture with identical force, so the jig sees no net shift between cycles.
Conveyor pusher with rear sensor
The back-end rod carries a flag for a CMSE or DMSE switch (this -S model has the magnet), while the front rod pushes cartons off a line at 30-500 mm/s.
Gantry lift-and-lower head
About 72 kg of safe vertical lift at a 2:1 margin makes the 80 mm bore fit a pick-and-place gantry head inside a guard where a full-length profile cylinder will not.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X35S with the ACED80X35S
Choose this bore when you need about 2356 N of equal force in both directions on a 35 mm stroke; step down to a 63 mm bore (1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping or up to a 100 mm bore (3681.6 N) for heavy presses. The through-rod suits symmetric tooling and rear-sensor layouts. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Because a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. Order the ACED80X35 as the current replacement and verify mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X35S
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X35S FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so force is equal both ways: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction (rod-side area on both strokes). Peak output at 1.0 MPa is about 480.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port 1/4" PT, rod thread M12x1.75 female.
The ACPD family is no longer in production; the current drop-in is the ACED80X35 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same 80 mm bore, 35 mm stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was DIN-standard. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for end-position detection; order the -S code on the replacement if you need switching.
