This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE63X100S, the same code under the new prefix. 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 ACP Compact Cylinder ACP63X100S is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE63X100S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ACP63X100S is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 100 mm stroke, fitted with the optional -S magnet so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke sensing. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N, and the short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is ACE63X100.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 16 mm S45C hard-chrome rod with an M10x1.5 female thread, 1/8" ports, a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and runs at 30-500 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE63X100S (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 | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1458 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | 2041 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The ACE63X100S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.
| ACP | DIN compact cylinder (double-acting, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×100 | 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 (double rod, adjustable stroke).
Swinging safety gates on palletising cells need mid-range force in a short body; 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa swings a loaded gate while the compact profile clears the guard line.
A 100 mm stroke on a small assembly press seats bearings or bushings in housings; the -S magnet signals full seat via a CMSE switch so the PLC can advance the next step.
Ejecting filled cartons from a packaging conveyor chute takes about 95 kg of usable push at 0.5 MPa; the female M10x1.5 rod thread takes a knuckle for the pusher plate.
Size against neighbours: a 50 mm bore gives 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa while an 80 mm bore reaches 2513.3 N, so the 63 mm sits squarely in the mid-heavy clamp-and-lift band. If the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve - the bumper does not hold position. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the standard face, and the 100 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm standard limit for this bore. Order ACE63X100 as the direct successor and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N; at 0.7 MPa, 2182.1 N push and 2041.3 N pull; theoretical maximum is 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting, 63 mm bore with a 16 mm rod, 1/8" ports, M10x1.5 female rod thread, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating pressure, -20 to +70 C, and 30-500 mm/s speed. The model is discontinued - ACE63X100 is the current replacement.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow fixtures and guarded zones. The S in ACP63X100S means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped on for position feedback; ACE models ordered without the magnet code carry no magnet. A fixed TPU bumper decelerates the piston at each end, and FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts bolt straight on.
