This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE63X45B, 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 ACP63X45B is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 45mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE63X45B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting compact cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 45 mm stroke, the ACP63X45B pushes with 1558.6 N and pulls with 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 2182.1 N at 0.7 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) on the 16 mm rod bolts straight to I/Y knuckles. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight welding fixtures and press gantries where a full-length body cannot fit.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a fixed TPU bumper at each end that only softens end-of-travel contact - it never holds or brakes a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put when air drops. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACE63X45 (swap the P for an E), 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 ACE63X45B (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 ACE63X45B 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. |
| ×45 | 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 steel brackets in automotive weld cells, and the 45 mm stroke clears the loader arm in a tight fixture plate.
With about 95 kg of usable thrust at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder crimps terminals and stakes small electronics housings on bench-top press stations.
The 1458.1 N pull swings safety gates and diverters on warehouse conveyor lines, with the short body fitting inside the guard channel.
At 0.5 MPa this bore delivers 1558.6 N push and 1458.1 N pull. If your jig needs less, the 50 mm bore gives 981.7 N push; if you need more, the 80 mm bore reaches 2513.3 N. The 45 mm stroke sits well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 63, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order build. The B code gives a male rod thread and the port thread is PT; FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot and FTC brackets all bolt to the same face. The optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without it there is no magnet and no sensing. Order the ACE63X45 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 2182.1 N and 2041.3 N. The theoretical maximum is 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/8" port depends only on the 63 mm bore.
This model is no longer in production. The current direct is the ACE63X45 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class with the same short body and mounting family. Because the ACP was DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. If you also need sensing, order the -S magnet code on the ACE so CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted.
