This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X45B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X45B 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 ACPD80X45B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X45B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 45mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED80X45B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X45B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X45B 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 in either direction. The 80 mm bore carries a 20 mm through-rod with a male thread (B code) on both ends, so the back rod can drive a second tool or carry a sensor flag while the through-rod resists rotation and side load. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight press fixtures and gantry heads.
Note this model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACED80X45, same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP series was built to a DIN-standard footprint. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod run at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s and -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. No magnet is fitted on this code, so position switches cannot be mounted; order the -S variant if CMSE / DMSE sensing is needed. As a planning figure, count on about 1414 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 72 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X45B (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 ACPD80X45B Is Used
Double-sided press fixture
The through-rod lets a punch plate ride the front rod while the rear rod drives a part ejector in one 45 mm stroke, both sides delivering 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa.
Gantry pick-and-place head
A symmetric through-rod mount on a CNC tending gantry resists side load, and the short body fits the 80 mm bore head where a full-length profile cylinder would not clear the frame.
Pallet-stacker clamp arm
Equal force both directions makes the 80 mm bore a fit for a clamp arm that must squeeze and release with the same 2356.2 N, with the fixed TPU bumpers absorbing end-of-stroke shock.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X45B with the ACED80X45B
At 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore suits clamping and pressing where a 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) is marginal and a 100 mm bore (3681.6 N) would be oversized. The 45 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. If the load must stay put when air is lost, remember a plain through-rod cylinder drifts - add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face. Since ACPD80X45B is discontinued, order ACED80X45 as the current replacement and verify the mounting dimensions against your fixture.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X45B
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X45B FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design works on the rod-side area for both strokes, so force is identical either way: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa, 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a 20 mm male-threaded rod on each end and a 1/4" port.
Order ACED80X45, the current ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 80 mm bore, 45 mm stroke and force class, but confirm the mounting dimensions first because the ACP was DIN-standard. For sensing, the magnet is only fitted when you order the -S code, which accepts CMSE / DMSE switches; this B-suffix model has no magnet, so no switch can be mounted.
