This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE63X30, 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 ACP63X30 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 30mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE63X30 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, the ACP63X30 pairs a 63 mm bore with a short 30 mm stroke and delivers 1558.6 N of push force and 1458.1 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body with threaded aluminium covers and an S45C hard-chrome rod runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um, at speeds of 30-500 mm/s. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures a full-length body cannot reach.
A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston, and the rod ends in a female M10x1.5 thread. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACE63X30, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE63X30 (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 ACE63X30 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. |
| ×30 | 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).
With about 935 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore seats bronze bushings in cast-iron pump housings on a short-stroke assembly press, and the compact body fits inside the press frame.
The 30 mm stroke raises and locates pallet fixtures between drilling stations, and the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder under the fixture plate.
Pull force of 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa holds vacuum-cup brackets down on float-glass sheets, with the optional -S magnet and a DMSE switch confirming the clamp is home.
At 63 mm bore this unit sits between the 50 mm bore (981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the 80 mm bore (2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa), so pick 50 mm if your load is under about 590 N of working force and step to 80 mm if you need more headroom. The 30 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Because a plain ACP drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis. For new designs, specify the ACE63X30 instead - this ACP model is discontinued.
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 at 1.0 MPa is 317.9 kgf. 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 1/8" port depends only on the 63 mm bore.
Order the ACE63X30, the current ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 63 mm bore, 30 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. The ACE accepts the same FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis and I/Y rod knuckle hardware, but because the ACP was built to a DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before the swap. If you need position feedback, the ACE range also carries the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
