This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X75B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X75B 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 ACPD80X75B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 75mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED80X75B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X75B delivers 2356.2 N at 0.5 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 mount, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag on packaging and assembly machinery. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries aluminium covers with a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and the 20 mm S45C hard-chrome rod ends in a male thread (B code). Note that no magnet is fitted on this version; the optional -S code adds one for CMSE / DMSE switches. Running on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), it cycles at 30-500 mm/s. This model is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is ACED80X75, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 1414 N (roughly 144 kg) of usable push at 0.5 MPa, or about 120 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X75B (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. |
| ×75 | 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 rod-side force in both directions lets a forming die be mounted on the rear rod, so the same 80 mm bore pushes a punch and returns a stripper without a return spring or counterbalance.
A rod at each cover means one cylinder can lane-divide bottles from either face at 30-500 mm/s, with the fixed TPU bumper decelerating the tooling plate at each end of the 75 mm stroke.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the 80 mm bore lifts about 120 kg vertically inside a low-profile Z-axis where a full-length body will not fit.
At 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore suits clamping and pressing in the 100-140 kg working range; step down to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) for lighter tooling or up to the 100 mm bore (3681.6 N) for heavy fixtures. The piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the male rod thread takes standard I/Y knuckles. Order ACED80X75 as the current replacement and verify mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 2356.2 N in each direction, 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, on air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s.
Order ACED80X75, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you keep the same 80 mm bore, 75 mm stroke and force class. The ACP series is DIN-standard, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before the swap. If you need position switches, the replacement also takes the optional -S magnet code for CMSE / DMSE sensors.
