This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE63X5SB, 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 ACP63X5SB
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP63X5SB 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 ACE63X5SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP63X5SB
A double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, the ACP63X5SB pairs a 63 mm bore with a very short 5 mm stroke for clamping and positioning moves that need force but barely any travel. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 1558.6 N and pulls with 1458.1 N, rising to 2182.1 N push at 0.7 MPa, and its theoretical ceiling is 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because the ISO 21287-class short body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into cramped fixtures where a full-length body simply will not fit.
The S and B codes matter here: this unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke sensing, and the B code gives a male rod thread instead of a female one. As a planning figure, treat about 935 N (roughly 95 kg of thrust) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating. Note that the ACP line is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACE63X5, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE63X5SB (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 ACE63X5SB 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 ACP63X5SB Is Used
Press-fit locating pin
The 5 mm stroke is ideal for seating a locating pin into a dowel hole on a machining fixture, with 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa enough to bottom the pin without overdriving it.
Fixture clamp on a CNC jig
A short-body clamp actuator on a CNC milling jig: the compact aluminium body fits between jig plates, and the -S magnet lets a DMSE switch confirm the clamped state to the PLC.
Case hold-down on a carton line
On a packaging line, the cylinder holds a carton flap for 0.2 seconds of taping; the 5 mm travel and 1/8" port keep the cycle fast within the 30-500 mm/s speed range.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP63X5SB with the ACE63X5SB
For a 5 mm stroke at this force level, the 63 mm bore delivers 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa; if your load is lighter, a 50 mm bore (981.7 N) may suffice, while a 80 mm bore (2513.3 N) covers heavier clamps. The 5 mm travel is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Remember that a plain ACP does not hold position when air is lost - for a held load, pair it with a rod lock or pilot check valve. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the same face, and the ACE63X5 is the current replacement to order.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE63X5SB
- ✓ 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 ACP63X5SB FAQ
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, with a theoretical maximum of 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The ACP family is discontinued, so order the ACE63X5 as the current direct - same bore, stroke and force class - and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod is built to the short ISO 21287-class format, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The S code means this model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped on for position feedback. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), from -20 to +70 C, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends.
