This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE63X5S, 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 ACP63X5S
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP63X5S 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 ACE63X5S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP63X5S
Double acting on both strokes, the ACP63X5S is a DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 63 mm bore and a very short 5 mm stroke, built around a hard-anodized aluminium body and an S45C hard-chrome rod. 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 peak of 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is exactly what a 5 mm stroke clamping or indexing job needs in a crowded fixture.
Because the S code is in this model, the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body to signal end positions. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACE63X5, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP follows the older DIN standard. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed range 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE63X5S (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 ACE63X5S 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 ACP63X5S Is Used
Press-head retraction sensing
The 5 mm stroke confirms a pneumatic press head has fully seated; the fitted -S magnet drives a DMSE switch that proves contact before the next cycle starts.
Fixture clamp confirmation
With 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, the cylinder clamps a machined housing in a milling fixture, and the CMSE switch output interlocks the spindle start.
Case ejector on a carton line
A short 5 mm kick with about 79 kg vertical-lift equivalent nudges formed cartons off a forming station at up to 500 mm/s without adding body length.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP63X5S with the ACE63X5S
At 63 mm bore this sits in the mid-heavy force band: a 50 mm bore gives 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa and an 80 mm bore gives 2513.3 N, so choose down if 935 N of working force covers the load and up if you need more margin. The 5 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order length. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the rod at each end and holds nothing: if the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings carry over, and the ACE63X5 is the current replacement to quote.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE63X5S
- ✓ 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 ACP63X5S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 2182.1 N and pull 2041.3 N; theoretical maximum is 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is ACE63X5, the ISO 21287 successor in the same bore, stroke and force class. The short body saves about 50% of the length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, but because the ACP is DIN-standard you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. Your unit already carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE and DMSE switches mount on the ACE equivalent the same way; the rod end is female M10x1.5 and the port is 1/8".
