This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X65 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X65 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.

The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X65 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 65mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED80X65 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder in the discontinued AirTAC ACPD family: an 80 mm bore with a 65 mm stroke, a 20 mm rod leaving both covers, and a 1/4" port. Because the rod-side area works on each stroke, output is equal in both directions - 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, so it saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder in heavy gantry and press frames.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag while the front rod drives the tool. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and the rod end carries a female M12x1.75 thread. Plan on roughly 1414 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 72 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACED80X65, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X65 (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.
| 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).
| ACPD | DIN compact cylinder (double-rod, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 80 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×65 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (adjustable stroke).
The 2356.2 N equal output on both strokes centers a die or anvil in a compact press head, where the short ISO 21287 body halves the mounting length of a full profile cylinder.
A 65 mm stroke lifting pallet trays of about 70 kg with a 2:1 margin, using the through-rod on both faces for a symmetric, rotation-resistant mount.
Reciprocating pusher arms on a bottling conveyor at 30-500 mm/s, with the rear rod carrying a sensor flag when the optional -S magnet and DMSE switch are ordered.
At 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore suits heavy clamping and lifting; 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 load grows. The piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check where a held load matters. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. This unit has no magnet - order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing. Since ACPD is discontinued, specify the ACED80X65 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
Output is equal in both directions because the double rod exposes the rod-side area on each stroke: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa, 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and the fixed TPU bumper decelerates at each end.
Order the ACED80X65, the current ISO 21287 replacement made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 80 mm bore, 65 mm stroke and force class, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard. Also check whether you need the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
