This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X50 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X50 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 ACPD80X50
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X50 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 50mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED80X50 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X50
This AirTAC ACPD80X50 is a double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, so the 80 mm bore delivers 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction - the through-rod sees the rod-side area on both strokes. 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 gantries. Note that this model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACED80X50.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag while the front rod does the work. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Because the 2356.2 N rating is equal both ways, plan on about 1414 N of real work at 0.5 MPa - roughly 144 kg of vertical lift, or about 72 kg with a 2:1 margin. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches (no magnet without it).

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X50 (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 ACPD80X50 Is Used
Double-sided press fixture
The 80 mm through-rod lets a stamping or riveting fixture clamp from both covers with the same 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa, so one cylinder replaces two single-rod units in a tight die cart.
Reciprocating transfer beam
With rods on both ends of a 50 mm stroke shuttle, the beam mounts symmetrically and the rear rod carries a flag for CMSE or DMSE switches when the -S magnet is ordered.
Pallet-stacker mast assist
About 144 kg of vertical lift equivalent at 0.5 MPa suits counterbalance or mast-support duties on compact warehouse equipment where a full-length profile cylinder will not fit.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X50 with the ACED80X50
At 80 mm bore this is the second-strongest ACPD size: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions. If your load needs less, the 63 mm bore gives 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need more, the 100 mm bore reaches 3681.6 N. The 50 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalog item, not a made-to-order build. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held. Order the -S code if you want the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. This model is discontinued: swap to ACED80X50 and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the changeover, since the ACP is DIN-standard.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X50
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X50 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, with a maximum of 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore, so there is no push-versus-pull difference. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
It is a short-body compact cylinder in the ISO 21287 class - roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome 20 mm rod, 1/4" ports and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches. This model is discontinued; the current drop-in is ACED80X50, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
