This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE63X120S, 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 ACP63X120S is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 120mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE63X120S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ACP63X120S is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 120 mm stroke, delivering 1558.6 N of push force and 1458.1 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa (2182.1 N push at 0.7 MPa). The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the hard-anodized aluminium body for end-of-stroke detection. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it was a favourite in tight gantries and guarding frames.
This model is discontinued and is no longer in production; the current direct successor is the ACE63X120, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions, since the ACP follows the older DIN-standard footprint. Note that a plain unit does not hold position when air is lost - the piston drifts - so use a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE63X120S (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 ACE63X120S 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. |
| ×120 | 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).
The 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps pallet loads on warehouse stackers, and the fitted -S magnet with a DMSE switch confirms full clamp before lift is permitted.
A 120 mm stroke sweeps bottles or cans across a conveyor lane; the short body fits under low guard rails where a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
At 63 mm bore this sits in the mid-heavy force band: 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your load needs less, the 50 mm bore gives 981.7 N at the same pressure; if you need more headroom, the 80 mm bore reaches 2513.3 N. The 120 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item rather than a made-to-order length. The female M10x1.5 rod thread accepts standard I/Y knuckles, and FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot and FTC brackets bolt to the mounting face. Because this ACP is discontinued, order the ACE63X120 and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture first.
Replacement checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 1558.6 N and pulls with 1458.1 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 2182.1 N push and 2041.3 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
Yes, this model is out of production. Order the ACE63X120, the current ISO 21287 successor with the same 63 mm bore, 120 mm stroke and force class; confirm the mounting dimensions against your fixture because the ACP was DIN-standard. Your unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount on the body for end-of-stroke signalling. The rod end is a female M10x1.5 thread and the air port is 1/8".
