This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X75S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X75S 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 ACPD80X75S 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 ACED80X75S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod through both covers, the ACPD80X75S pushes and pulls with identical force because both strokes work on the rod-side area: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The 80 mm bore drives a 20 mm hard-chrome S45C rod from each end, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly on the body.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, cutting roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in tight gantries and guarding. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof. Plan on about 1414 N (roughly 144 kg) of usable push at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, and note the model is discontinued - ACED80X75 is the current drop-in.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X75S (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 equal 2356.2 N force in both directions suits a pick-and-place slide on a stamping cell, where the through-rod pushes the part out and retracts the fixture with the same thrust.
A rear rod on the 20 mm shaft can carry a sensor flag for CMSE switches, while the front rod drives a milling-machine auxiliary slide at 30-500 mm/s.
With about 120 kg of vertical lift capability at a 2:1 margin, the 80 mm double rod holds a symmetric clamp beam level across both ends of a carton sealing head.
At 75 mm stroke this sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for the 80 mm bore, so it is a catalog item, not a made-to-order length. If 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 63 mm bore delivers 1458.1 N; if you need more, the 100 mm bore reaches 3681.6 N under the same pressure. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the -S magnet on this version accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. For new designs, order ACED80X75 instead and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
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 in each direction. Peak force at 1.0 MPa is 480.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
No - the ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is ACED80X75, an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same 80 mm bore, 75 mm stroke and force class. Since the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The fixed TPU bumpers, 1/4" ports and M12x1.75 female rod thread carry over in the same class.
