This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X70SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X70SB 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 ACPD80X70SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X70SB 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 ACED80X70SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X70SB
Double acting with a rod exiting both covers, the ACPD80X70SB delivers 2356.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa), 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 leaves the rear rod free to carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s over a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) supply.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight press fixtures and gantries. At 0.5 MPa plan on roughly 1414 N of usable push, which lifts about 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted directly. Note the ACPD family is discontinued: the current drop-in is the ACED80X70, and you should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X70SB (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 ACPD80X70SB Is Used
Press-head return on both faces
The rear rod drives a stripper plate while the front rod presses a bearing into a housing on an assembly press, both strokes delivering 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa.
Reciprocating conveyor pusher
A packaging line uses the through-rod to index cartons alternately left and right, the symmetric rod layout keeping the tooling square at 30-500 mm/s.
Position-flagged gate on a filler
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE switches on the front rod report gate open and closed on a bottling line, while the TPU bumpers soften each stop.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X70SB with the ACED80X70SB
At 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 80 mm bore suits clamping and pressing jobs in the 1400 N working range; 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 force without growing the stroke. The male rod thread (B code) and 1/4" PT ports keep plumbing straightforward. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. Order the ACED80X70 as the current-production replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X70SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X70SB 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. Peak force at 1.0 MPa is 480.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and a 20 mm male-thread rod.
Yes. The ACPD family is out of production; the current ISO 21287 successor is the ACED80X70, which swaps the P for an E and matches the same 80 mm bore, 70 mm stroke and force class. The short body still saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping.
