This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X60S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X60S 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 ACPD80X60S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X60S 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 ACED80X60S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X60S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X60S pushes and pulls with identical force: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore. The 20 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mounting face, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers pad both ends. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke detection.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight gantries and guarded stations. Running range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speeds of 30-500 mm/s. In practice, plan on about 1414 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 72 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that ACPD is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED80X60, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X60S (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 ACPD80X60S Is Used
Gantry press stations
The 2356.2 N bidirectional force suits a guarded gantry where a staking or marking head must push and retract with equal power inside a short envelope.
Reciprocating transfer arms
A rod on each cover lets a pick-and-place arm for machined housings ride symmetrically, with the rear rod carrying a flag for CMSE or DMSE switch feedback.
Vertical lift-and-lower fixtures
With about 72 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the 60 mm stroke handles lowering PCB test fixtures or small die carts between two levels.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X60S with the ACED80X60S
At 80 mm bore this is near the top of the compact range: 2356.2 N both ways at 0.5 MPa, versus 1458.1 N for a 63 mm bore and 3681.6 N for a 100 mm bore. If your part weight stays under about 72 kg with a 2:1 vertical margin, the 80 mm size is the right call; step down to 63 mm for lighter clamping, or up to 100 mm for heavy press-fit work. Because the piston drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve for any held load. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and this -S version already includes the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. For new designs, order the ACED80X60 instead, since ACPD is out of production.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X60S
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X60S FAQ
Output is equal both ways because the rod-side area works on each stroke: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa in push and pull alike, with a peak 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), and speed 30-500 mm/s.
This model is no longer in production; the current drop-in is the ACED80X60 in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP follows a DIN-standard layout. The cylinder uses a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome 20 mm rod, a 1/4" port, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, and this -S version carries the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
