This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE63X50SB, 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 ACP63X50SB is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 50mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE63X50SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, the ACP63X50SB pairs a 63 mm bore with a 50 mm stroke and a male threaded rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N, rising to 2182.1 N at 0.7 MPa. The short ISO 21287-class body cuts mounting length by roughly half compared with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight welding fixtures and press gantries where a full-length body cannot. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling.
Construction is a hard-anodized aluminium body with threaded aluminium covers, an S45C hard-chrome rod, a two-way grease-storing piston seal and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. Note that this model is discontinued; the current-production direct is ACE63X50, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE63X50SB (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 ACE63X50SB 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. |
| ×50 | 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 short body fits between fixture plates where space is tight.
With about 2182 N available at 0.7 MPa, this bore drives light crimping and staking heads on electronics assembly benches at 30-500 mm/s.
At 63 mm bore you sit in the mid-heavy band of the ACP range: a 50 mm bore gives 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore reaches 2513.3 N if you need more force in the same short body. Keep in mind that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Foot (LB), flange (FA/FB) and clevis (CA/CB) mountings plus I/Y rod knuckles suit standard fixtures, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE/DMSE switches. Order ACE63X50 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 footprint first.
Replacement checklist
Push is 1558.6 N and pull 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push is 2182.1 N and pull 2041.3 N, with a theoretical maximum of 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting, 63 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, 16 mm rod, 1/8" PT ports, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends.
Order ACE63X50, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same bore, stroke and force class in a matching short body. Because the ACP was DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The male rod thread (B) and the -S magnet for CMSE/DMSE switches carry over as options on the ACE.
