This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X45S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X45S 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 ACPD80X45S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X45S 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 ACED80X45S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X45S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X45S pushes and pulls with identical output: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore. The 45 mm stroke keeps the whole assembly short, and the hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, the S45C hard-chrome rod runs at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um, and pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 1414 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 144 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACED80X45, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X45S (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 ACPD80X45S Is Used
Reciprocating press transfer
The equal 2356.2 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa suits a stamping-cell part transfer slide where the return stroke must clamp a tray with the same force it pushes with.
Conveyor gate diverter
A 45 mm stroke is enough to swing a pusher gate on a bottling line, and the rear rod carries a flag for a DMSE switch confirming the parked position.
Gantry pick-and-place Z axis
The through-rod of the 80 mm bore resists side load on a pick head lifting about 144 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, inside a frame too short for a full-length body.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X45S with the ACED80X45S
At 80 mm bore you get 2356.2 N both ways at 0.5 MPa; step down to the 63 mm bore for 1458.1 N or up to the 100 mm bore for 3681.6 N if the load changes. The piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the -S magnet on this unit pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. Order ACED80X45 as the current replacement and verify the mounting footprint first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X45S
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X45S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, output is equal both ways: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa on both the push and pull stroke, peaking at 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the bore takes a 1/4" port.
Order ACED80X45, the ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 80 mm bore, 45 mm stroke and force class, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before the swap, since the ACPD follows the older DIN-standard compact layout.
