This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X40 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X40 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 ACPD80X40
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X40 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 40mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED80X40 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X40
A double acting compact cylinder with a piston rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X40 delivers the same 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa on every stroke because both sides work on the rod-side area. The 80 mm bore pushes 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, so clamping and pressing forces stay identical whether the load sits on the front or the back rod. Its short ISO 21287-style body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight press fixtures and gantry guards.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on a packaging line. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Plan on about 1414 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, roughly 120 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued: the current drop-in is the ACED80X40, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X40 (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 ACPD80X40 Is Used
Bilateral press fixture
The 80 mm bore applies 2356.2 N from each rod at 0.5 MPa, so a stamping die can be preloaded from both covers in one compact 40 mm stroke body.
Packaging line pusher
The rear rod carries a sensor flag for CMSE or DMSE switches (with the optional -S magnet) while the front rod pushes cartons at 30-500 mm/s.
Gantry ejection station
A body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder lets the double-rod ejector sit inside a tight machine frame with equal force either way.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X40 with the ACED80X40
At 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore suits heavy clamps; step down to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) for lighter jigs or up to the 100 mm bore (3681.6 N) for high-force presses. The 40 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm standard limit for this bore. The plain through-rod does not hold position when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a suspended load. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches. This unit is discontinued; the ACED80X40 is the current-production replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X40
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X40 FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in each direction. At 1.0 MPa the bore reaches about 480.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
Order the ACED80X40, the current ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 80 mm bore, 40 mm stroke and force class with FA/FB flange and LB foot mounting options. Since the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. If you need position sensing, the -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switches.
