This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED63X100 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED63X100 in place of this model. 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 ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X100
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X100 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED63X100 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X100
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP format: a 63 mm bore with a 16 mm through-rod exiting both covers, so the thrust is identical on each stroke - 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, both directions, because each side works on the rod-side area. The 100 mm stroke sits well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, and the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs the piston at travel limits. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed range 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight gantries and press fixtures. Practically, the 1458.1 N rating translates to about 148 kg of vertical lift at 0.5 MPa; halve that for a 2:1 margin and you can confidently lift a 74 kg die or fixture. The through-rod also resists rotation and side load and gives you a rear rod for a sensor flag. Note: this model is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is ACED63X100, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X100 (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 | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1458 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2041 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 297 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

Where the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X100 Is Used
Two-sided press fixture
The 16 mm through-rod lets a punch plate mount on the front rod while the rear rod carries a limit flag, with 1458.1 N clamping both ways at 0.5 MPa in a 100 mm stroke cycle.
Die cart lift column
About 148 kg of vertical lift at 0.5 MPa (74 kg with a 2:1 margin) makes the 63 mm bore suitable for raising die-set dollies between press stations.
Symmetric pusher gate
Equal force in both directions lets one cylinder divert cartons on a packaging line without tuning two pressure settings, at speeds from 30 to 500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X100 with the ACED63X100
At 1458.1 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore covers mid-duty clamping and lifting; step down to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) for lighter tooling or up to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) when the part mass grows. Remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Mount with FA/FB flange or LB foot on the ISO 21287 face, and order the -S code only if you need the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; this unit has no magnet fitted. Replacement: ACED63X100.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X100
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X100 FAQ
Because the rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area, so there is no push-versus-pull difference. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
The short ISO 21287-class aluminium body cuts about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The ACPD63X100 is discontinued; the current drop-in is ACED63X100 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before you swap.
