This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X80SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X80SB 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 ACPD80X80SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X80SB 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 ACED80X80SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X80SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X80SB pushes and pulls with identical force because each stroke works 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 rod, and the male rod thread (B code) plus the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches are built into this ordering code. Air supply runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, cutting roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into wide gantry carriages and press fixtures where a full-length body cannot. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end. In practice, plan on about 144 kg of usable vertical work (roughly 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa force), and with a 2:1 margin this cylinder lifts about 120 kg vertically. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACED80X80, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X80SB (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 ACPD80X80SB Is Used
Pneumatic press fixture
The 2356.2 N symmetric output at 0.5 MPa suits a stamping or marking press on an aluminium extrusion line, where the through-rod keeps the tool plate square under side load.
Pallet pusher on a conveyor
With about 120 kg of vertical-lift equivalent and a 1/4" port, the 80 mm bore side-shifts loaded pallets between conveyor lanes in a warehouse transfer station.
Gantry Z-axis clamp
The fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke confirmation on a robotic gantry clamp, inside a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD80X80SB with the ACED80X80SB
At 80 mm bore this sits near the top of the compact range: 2356.2 N both ways at 0.5 MPa, versus 1458.1 N for a 63 mm bore and 3681.6 N for a 100 mm bore. If your fixture needs a held position when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve, because a plain double-rod piston will drift. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag; FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Since ACPD is discontinued, order ACED80X80 as the current replacement in the same force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED80X80SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD80X80SB FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed is 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" port matches the 80 mm bore. A usable planning figure is about 144 kg of vertical work at 0.5 MPa.
Yes. The ACPD family is no longer in production; the current-production successor is ACED80X80, an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. The short hard-anodized aluminium body, fixed TPU bumpers and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting carry over, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN standard.
