This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE63X5B, 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 ACP63X5B
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP63X5B is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 5mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE63X5B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP63X5B
A double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, the ACP63X5B pairs a 63 mm bore with a very short 5 mm stroke and a male rod thread (B code). At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N, rising to 2182.1 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of filtered air at 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 clamping nests and fixture plates where a full-length body cannot. Fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the piston at both ends but never hold a load; use a rod lock or pilot check valve for that. Note: this model is discontinued. The current direct is ACE63X5 (same bore, stroke and force class) - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to DIN dimensions.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE63X5B (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 ACE63X5B 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 ACP63X5B Is Used
Fixture clamping in CNC machining
The 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium or mild-steel blanks in milling and turning fixtures, and the 5 mm stroke suits a swing clamp or short-reach clamp arm.
Short-throw press stamping
With about 2182 N available at 0.7 MPa, this bore marks, stakes or lightly forms small brackets and terminals where only a few millimetres of travel are needed.
Gantry part ejection
The compact body fits inside tight gantry frames on assembly lines, nudging finished housings off a nest; the male rod thread takes an I or Y knuckle directly.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP63X5B with the ACE63X5B
At 63 mm bore this sits in the mid-heavy force band: the 40 mm bore delivers 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa and the 80 mm bore reaches 2513.3 N, so pick 63 mm when your clamp or press needs roughly 1.5 kN. The 5 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. This unit has a male rod thread and no magnet - order the -S code if you later need CMSE or DMSE switch position sensing. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the standard face. Since ACP is discontinued, specify ACE63X5 as the current-production replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE63X5B
- ✓ 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 ACP63X5B FAQ
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 a double acting 63 mm bore with 5 mm stroke, 16 mm rod, 1/8" PT port, male rod thread, operating range 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s and temperature -20 to +70 C. The model is discontinued; ACE63X5 is the replacement.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis options bolt to the standard face. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends only soften end-of-travel - they never lock or hold a load, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. This unit ships without a magnet; the optional -S code adds one so CMSE or DMSE switches can sense position.
