This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X5S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X5S 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 ACPD80X5S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X5S 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 ACED80X5S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X5S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X5S pushes and pulls with identical force because each stroke works on the rod-side area: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The 5 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-release motions, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for end-position sensing.
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 guarding and fixture plates. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s. Note that this ACPD model is discontinued; the current-production successor is ACED80X5, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X5S (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 ACPD80X5S Is Used
Short-stroke press clamp
A 5 mm stroke and 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa in both directions make this bore ideal for a punch-press hold-down that clamps sheet steel and retracts instantly between cycles.
Balanced reciprocating slide
Because the through-rod gives equal force push and pull, a packaging machine's small shuttle slide sees identical acceleration either way, with the rear rod carrying the position flag for CMSE switches.
Indexing pin eject
On an automated assembly gantry the 80 mm bore ejects and retracts a heavy locating pin over 5 mm, and the compact body fits inside the guard where a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X5S with the ACED80X5S
At 80 mm bore the double-rod output of 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa is equal in both directions, so size the load against that single figure rather than a push-pull pair. As a rule of thumb plan on about 1414 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting roughly 72 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. If the job needs less force, a 63 mm double-rod unit delivers 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa; if it needs 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. A plain double-rod cylinder will not hold position when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the -S magnet on this model accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Order ACED80X5 as the current replacement and verify its ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X5S
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X5S FAQ
Yes. As a double-rod cylinder both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal both ways: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of about 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed is 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" port depends only on the 80 mm bore.
Each end carries a fixed TPU bumper that simply decelerates the piston at end of travel; it is not adjustable and it never locks or brakes a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check where a load must be held. The ACPD family is discontinued, and the current drop-in is ACED80X5 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before you swap.
