This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE63X40, 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.
Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP63X40
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP63X40 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 40mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE63X40 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP63X40
The ACP63X40 is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 40 mm stroke, delivering 1558.6 N of push force and 1458.1 N on the return stroke at 0.5 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body with a 16 mm S45C hard-chrome rod keeps the mounting length about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight machine frames where a full-length cylinder cannot. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACE63X40.
A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, and the optional -S magnet (ordered as ACP63X40S) enables CMSE or DMSE switches - without the -S code there is no magnet fitted. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE63X40 (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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm)
| 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 ACE63X40 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP63X40 Is Used
Pallet stamping station
With 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore drives a date-code stamp into corrugated pallets on a packaging line, and the 40 mm stroke suits a short die approach.
Bottle lane diverter
The short ISO 21287 body fits beside a conveyor rail, pushing PET bottles between lanes at up to 500 mm/s where a full-length cylinder would foul the guard.
Clamp fixture on a CNC jig
About 935 N of usable clamping force holds aluminium extrusions against a drill jig, with an LB foot mount keeping the fixture footprint minimal.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP63X40 with the ACE63X40
At 63 mm bore you sit between the 50 mm (981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa) and 80 mm (2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) sizes - pick down if 981.7 N covers your load with margin, up if you need the extra 2513.3 N. Remember a plain ACP63X40 does not hold position when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the same face, and the 40 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Order the ACE63X40 instead, and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE63X40
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP63X40 FAQ
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. It is double acting with a 16 mm rod, a 1/8" port, and operates on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air at 30-500 mm/s.
Order the ACE63X40, the current ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 63 mm bore, 40 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. The ACE also keeps the FA/FB, LB and CA/CB mounting family, but because the ACP was DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap. If you need position sensing, the ACE takes the same optional-magnet approach with CMSE / DMSE switches.
