This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X90B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X90B 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 ACPD80X90B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 90mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED80X90B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X90B delivers an identical 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa (3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa) in each direction, since 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 point at each end, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag on a pick-and-place gantry. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight machine frames.
This 90 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for the 80 mm bore, and the male rod thread (the B code) bolts straight to I/Y knuckles. Plan on about 1414 N (roughly 144 kg) of usable push at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, which is about 120 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that the piston drifts if air is lost, so a held load needs a rod lock or pilot check. This model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACED80X90, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X90B (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. |
| ×90 | 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 on both rod ends clamps and releases pallet grippers with identical force, and the through-rod keeps the arms aligned under offset loads.
A rear rod on the 90 mm stroke drives a lane-diverter flag while the front rod pushes bottles, all within the short body that fits beside the conveyor frame.
About 120 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin ejects stamped brackets from a die, with the fixed TPU bumper softening each end of the 30-500 mm/s travel.
At 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this bore covers heavy clamping and lifting; step down to the 63 mm size (1458.1 N) for lighter jigs or up to the 100 mm bore (3681.6 N) when the part mass demands it. Because force is equal both ways, the same rating applies whether the front or rear rod does the work. The male rod thread suits clevis and knuckle brackets on the FA/FB flange or LB foot faces. If you need position feedback, order the -S variant with the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches - this non-S code carries no magnet at all. For new projects, specify the ACED80X90 instead, confirming the ISO 21287 footprint first.
Replacement checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore, so force is equal either way: 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 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 is fixed by the bore size.
No - the ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production successor is the ACED80X90 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 short-body format. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard. Also remember the magnet is only fitted when the -S code is ordered; this version has none.
