This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X45SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X45SB 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 ACPD80X45SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X45SB 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 ACED80X45SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X45SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X45SB 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. The 80 mm bore drives a 20 mm rod through a 45 mm stroke, with a male rod thread (B code) and a 1/4" port. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod run at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this bore size suits tight gantries and press fixtures. With the -S magnet this model carries, CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly on the body. At 0.5 MPa the 2356.2 N rating translates to roughly 240 kg of thrust, so plan on about 1440 N (around 147 kg) of real work once you keep a 0.6 margin. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED80X45, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X45SB (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 ACPD80X45SB Is Used
Bench-top press fixture
The 2356.2 N symmetric output at 0.5 MPa suits staking or light crimping on aluminium brackets, where the 45 mm stroke is enough for part load-out and the male rod thread takes a press ram directly.
Bidirectional conveyor stopper
A rod on each cover lets one cylinder both raise and lower a stop blade with equal 2356.2 N force, and the rear rod can carry a switch flag for position feedback with CMSE / DMSE sensors.
Clamping in a tight machining cell
The short body, roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fits clamp actuation inside crowded CNC jigs where a full-length bore-80 cylinder will not reach.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X45SB with the ACED80X45SB
Size by force, not bore habit: at 0.5 MPa the 63 mm bore gives 1458.1 N and the 100 mm bore gives 3681.6 N, so the 80 mm sits squarely between them at 2356.2 N both ways. If your fixture needs symmetric tooling on both rod ends or a sensor flag on the rear rod, the through-rod here is the right pick. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face, and this unit already carries the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACED80X45 for new projects, confirming the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X45SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X45SB FAQ
It is a double-rod cylinder, so output is equal both ways: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa on the push and the pull, since both strokes use the rod-side area. At 1.0 MPa the peak is 480.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
Order the ACED80X45, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 80 mm bore, 45 mm stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before the swap, since the ACPD follows the DIN-standard compact format. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted; the ACED offers the same magnet option.
