This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE63X40SB, 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 ACP63X40SB
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP63X40SB 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 ACE63X40SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP63X40SB
A double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, the ACP63X40SB pairs a 63 mm bore with a 40 mm stroke and a male-threaded 16 mm rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N, rising to 2182.1 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding where a full-length body cannot. Air supply runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s.
This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is ACE63X40, which keeps the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be read directly on the body.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE63X40SB (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 ACE63X40SB 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 ACP63X40SB Is Used
CNC fixture clamping
The 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa secures aluminium housings in machining jigs, and the 40 mm stroke clears the loader arm quickly.
Press die change trolley
The short body, roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fits under die-change tables where headroom is minimal.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP63X40SB with the ACE63X40SB
Size against the 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 between them for mid-load clamping and lifting. Remember a plain unit drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings plus the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches let you match existing fixtures. Order ACE63X40 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 hole patterns first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE63X40SB
- ✓ 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 ACP63X40SB FAQ
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. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, on air filtered to 40 um. The 1/8" port follows the 63 mm bore, and the fixed TPU bumper at each end only decelerates the piston - it never holds a load.
Order ACE63X40, the ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches this bore, stroke and force class and accepts the same FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis family, but because the ACP was DIN-standard you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before cutting a new fixture plate. The male rod thread and fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches carry over in the equivalent ACE code.
