This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X70S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X70S 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 ACPD80X70S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X70S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 70mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED80X70S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X70S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X70S pushes and pulls with identical output: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, since 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 the rear rod can carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the piston at each end.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, cutting roughly 50% of the mounting length compared with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding. The -S magnet is fitted on this unit, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling. Note the family is discontinued: the current-production successor is the ACED80X70, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 1414 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting roughly 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X70S (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 ACPD80X70S Is Used
Symmetric press fixtures
The equal 2356.2 N output in both directions lets a welding or assembly fixture clamp from either rod end with one air circuit, at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
Reciprocating conveyor pushers
A through-rod on both covers balances side load when diverting cartons on a packaging line, with the rear rod carrying a CMSE switch flag for stroke feedback.
Vertical lift-and-lower stations
With about 120 kg of vertical lift capability at a 2:1 margin, the 80 mm bore handles raising and lowering jigs in machine-tending cells; add a pilot check for air-loss hold.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X70S with the ACED80X70S
At 80 mm bore this is the second-largest ACPD size, delivering 2356.2 N both ways at 0.5 MPa; step down to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) for lighter clamping or up to the 100 mm bore (3681.6 N) when the load demands more. The 70 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Choose the female M12x1.25 rod thread as coded here, add LB foot or FA/FB flange hardware to suit the fixture, and keep the -S magnet if CMSE/DMSE switching is required. Because a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, pair it with a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Order the ACED80X70 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X70S
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X70S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal both ways: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, on the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore. At 1.0 MPa the theoretical maximum is 480.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, and the model is discontinued with the ACED80X70 as its replacement.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in cramped gantries and guarding, and FA/FB flange or LB foot hardware bolts to the standard face. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted directly. Fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the piston at each end of the 70 mm stroke, and the current-production equivalent is the ACED80X70 - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
