This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X60SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X60SB 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 ACPD80X60SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X60SB 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 ACED80X60SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X60SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod exiting both covers, the ACPD80X60SB delivers 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mounting face, and leaves the rear rod free to carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and the male rod thread (B code) suits knuckle and tooling attachments.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, cutting about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and press fixtures. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing. Note the family is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED80X60, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. In practice, plan on roughly 1414 N (about 144 kg) of usable push at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X60SB (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 ACPD80X60SB Is Used
Press fixture clamping
The 2356.2 N symmetric output at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium die-cast housings in a machining fixture, with equal force on both strokes so the part stays seated during tool change.
Reciprocating transfer arm
With a rod on each cover, the through-rod drives a pick-and-place slide over the 60 mm stroke and resists the side load of an off-center gripper at 30-500 mm/s.
Gantry position feedback
Because this model carries the -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches read both end positions on a packaging-line gantry where the short ISO 21287 body must fit between guide rails.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X60SB with the ACED80X60SB
At 2356.2 N both ways at 0.5 MPa, this 80 mm bore suits mid-heavy clamping and pressing where equal force on extend and retract matters. Step down to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) for lighter loads or up to the 100 mm bore (3681.6 N) when you need more muscle. A plain double-rod cylinder will drift if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. The 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, and LB foot or FA/FB flange mounts bolt straight on. Order the ACED80X60 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X60SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X60SB FAQ
Being double-rod, 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 pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" port depends only on the 80 mm bore.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This SB version has a male rod thread and the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; a fixed TPU bumper decelerates each end. The model is discontinued, so order the ACED80X60 replacement and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
