This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X60 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X60 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 ACPD80X60
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X60 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED80X60 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X60
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X60 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, equal in both directions. The 80 mm bore drives a 20 mm through-rod from a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod, running on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight welding fixtures and press gantries. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends. Plan for roughly 1414 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 120 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note: this model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACED80X60, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X60 (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 ACPD80X60 Is Used
Symmetric weld-fixture clamping
The 20 mm through-rod clamps a steel bracket from both sides of a robotic welding cell with 2356.2 N in each direction, so one cylinder replaces a paired single-rod set.
Balanced press-head lift
With equal force up and down, the double rod raises and lowers a 120 kg die-cart guide plate at 30-500 mm/s without push-pull imbalance.
Rear-rod flag position sensing
The back-end rod carries a switch flag on a packaging machine slide; order the -S magnet code to read position with CMSE or DMSE switches.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X60 with the ACED80X60
At 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 80 mm bore suits clamping and lifting jobs in the 1400 N usable range; step down to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) for lighter fixtures or up to the 100 mm bore (3681.6 N) when the part weight grows. The piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay held. Mounting brackets bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without the -S code there is no magnet. This model is discontinued; order ACED80X60 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X60
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X60 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 on each stroke, with a maximum of 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. 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, on air filtered to 40 um through a 1/4" port.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange and LB foot brackets plus a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The ACPD80X60 is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACED80X60 (same 80 mm bore, 60 mm stroke and force class). Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard.
