This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED63X100SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED63X100SB 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 ACPD63X100SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X100SB 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 ACED63X100SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X100SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod exiting both covers, the ACPD63X100SB delivers 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, since both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 16 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and leaves the rear rod free to carry a sensor flag. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, cutting about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight jigs and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Plan on roughly 875 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift about 44 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note: this model is discontinued; the current drop-in is ACED63X100, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X100SB (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 ACPD63X100SB Is Used
Two-sided CNC fixture clamping
The through-rod clamps a housing from the front while the rear rod drives a position flag, giving 1458.1 N of grip on both sides of a 100 mm stroke jig.
Packaging line pusher gate
Equal force in both directions lets one cylinder divert cartons left or right at up to 500 mm/s without a return spring or reversed porting.
Lab press with position sensing
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm end positions on a 44 kg-class vertical lift, while the TPU bumpers soften each stop.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X100SB with the ACED63X100SB
At 1458.1 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore suits clamping and press-fit work around 875 N of real load; step down to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) for lighter fixtures or up to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) when the part fights back. The piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the male rod thread (B code) with PT ports keeps plumbing simple. Because ACPD is discontinued, order ACED63X100 as the current-production equivalent in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X100SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X100SB FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 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 push never exceeds pull. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
No - the ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is ACED63X100 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard.
