This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X5 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X5 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 ACPD80X5
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X5 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 5mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED80X5 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X5
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder in the AirTAC ACP DIN-standard series, now discontinued. A 20 mm rod exits both covers of the 80 mm bore body, so the thrust is identical on each stroke: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal both ways because both sides work on the rod-side area. The 5 mm stroke suits tiny clamp-and-release or eject motions where a full-length body would never fit; the short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Build details that matter on the machine: hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumper at each end, 1/4" ports and a female M12x1.75 rod thread. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, so the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. At 0.5 MPa plan on about 1414 N of real work, which is roughly 120 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin. For position sensing, order the optional -S magnet code, since without it no CMSE or DMSE switch can be fitted. Replacement is the current-production ACED80X5; confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X5 (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 ACPD80X5 Is Used
Press-shop part ejection
A 5 mm kick on a stamping die table clears a finished bracket off the nest; 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa both ways handles the shove regardless of approach direction.
Bottle-line gate indexing
Short-stroke gates on a beverage filler use the through-rod to swing a deflector from either cover, keeping the motion symmetric at 30-500 mm/s.
CNC fixture clamp-confirm
A rear rod flag trips a proximity sensor on a machining-centre fixture to confirm clamp seating, using the back-end rod as the sensing surface.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X5 with the ACED80X5
Pick this 80 mm bore when your job needs about 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa in both directions over a 5 mm stroke, such as a short push-off or part-present check. If the load is lighter, a 63 mm bore delivers 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need more, the 100 mm bore reaches 3681.6 N. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches. Since ACPD80X5 is discontinued, order the ACED80X5 drop-in and verify the mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X5
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X5 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, both ways. At 1.0 MPa the peak is 480.5 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 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, so it fits tight guards and jigs. The ACPD80X5 is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACED80X5 in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, and order the optional -S magnet if you need CMSE or DMSE switches.
