This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X5B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X5B 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 ACPD80X5B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X5B 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 ACED80X5B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X5B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X5B delivers 2356.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore. The 5 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-release or push-off moves, and the male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to your tooling. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short build, cutting roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight machine frames and guarding.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on a fixture. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Plan on about 1414 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 120 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED80X5, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X5B (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 ACPD80X5B Is Used
Press-head return on a stamping fixture
The 5 mm stroke retracts a punch holder after each hit, and the 2356.2 N rod-side force holds the die shoe seated between cycles on a sheet-metal press.
Bottle-line gate actuation
A short-stroke gate on a bottling conveyor needs only a few millimetres of travel; the through-rod keeps the gate plate square under repeated side contact.
Clamp toggle on a welding gantry
The male rod thread drives a toggle clamp arm on an automotive weld gantry, where the 80 mm bore gives about 120 kg of vertical clamping margin at 0.5 MPa.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X5B with the ACED80X5B
At 80 mm bore you get 2356.2 N both ways at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. If your part needs less, the 63 mm double-rod version gives 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need more, the 100 mm bore reaches 3681.6 N. The 5 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets fit the ISO 21287 face. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Order the ACED80X5 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X5B
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X5B 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, with a maximum of 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the port is 1/4" PT. The rod is 20 mm with a male thread (B code).
This unit has no magnet fitted. The optional -S magnet code enables CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches, so order ACPD80X5BS if sensing is needed. The ACPD family is discontinued; the current-production successor is the ACED80X5 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before you swap.
