This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED80X90S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED80X90S 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 ACPD80X90S 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 ACED80X90S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD80X90S pushes and pulls with identical output: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 80 mm bore carries a 20 mm through-rod with a female M12x1.25-class M12x1.75 rod thread and 1/4" ports, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-position sensing. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACED80X90.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short build that saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight machine frames and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof. For planning, count on about 1414 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED80X90S (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 symmetric 2356.2 N output clamps aluminium die-cast housings on a machining fixture from either side, with the rear rod driving a workpiece-present sensor flag.
A 90 mm stroke diverts cartons on a packaging line at 30-500 mm/s, and the through-rod keeps the pusher plate square under off-center loads.
With about 120 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the cylinder raises battery trays on an assembly cell, guided by CMSE switches at both ends.
At 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore suits clamping and pressing fixtures in the 200-350 kgf 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 presses. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag, while FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting bolts to the ISO 21287 face. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Order the ACED80X90 as the current replacement and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so output 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. The 20 mm rod exits both covers, ports are 1/4", and the fitted -S magnet works with CMSE / DMSE switches.
It is a discontinued ISO 21287-style compact with a hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting. The current drop-in is the ACED80X90 - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before you swap, since the ACP follows the older DIN-standard footprint.
