This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X80 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X80 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 ACPD80X80
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X80 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 80mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED80X80 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X80
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X80 pushes and pulls with the same 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa because each stroke works on the rod-side area. The 80 mm bore and 80 mm stroke suit heavy clamping and symmetric tooling where a through-rod is wanted: the rear rod resists rotation and side load, carries a sensor flag, or mounts a second fixture. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short build that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and press frames. At 0.7 MPa the output rises to 3298.7 N in both directions. For real-world sizing, treat roughly 1414 N (about 144 kg) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, which means this cylinder lifts about 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is the ACED80X80, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X80 (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 ACPD80X80 Is Used
Symmetric press fixture
The 2356.2 N output in both directions lets one cylinder stake or eject on the forward stroke and retract the die on the return, with the 80 mm stroke clearing a deep die set.
Gantry pick-and-place
A through-rod on both covers gives a balanced mount for a vertical lift of about 120 kg with margin, and the rear rod can carry a flag for a CMSE switch when the -S magnet is ordered.
Bottle-capping head
Equal push and pull force suits a capping head that must press a cap home and withdraw cleanly, with the fixed TPU bumper decelerating the head at each end of the 80 mm travel.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X80 with the ACED80X80
Size between neighbours: the 63 mm bore gives 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa both ways, while the 100 mm bore reaches 3681.6 N, so pick the 80 mm when your load sits between roughly 150 kg and 350 kg equivalent. Both strokes see equal rod-side force, and the through-rod keeps the mount symmetric. FA/FB flange and LB foot brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face. If you need position sensing, order the -S variant with the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches - this plain code has no magnet. This model is discontinued; the ACED80X80 is the drop-in successor, so verify mounting dimensions before ordering. A plain double-rod cylinder will not hold a load if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X80
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X80 FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal push and pull. At 1.0 MPa the maximum output 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, and the 1/4" port matches the 80 mm bore.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short build that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting and a female M12x1.75 rod thread. The ACPD family is discontinued; the current-production ACED80X80 is the drop-in successor in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
