This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED63X10SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED63X10SB 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 ACPD63X10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X10SB is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED63X10SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X10SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod through both covers, the ACPD63X10SB pushes and pulls with the same 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa (2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa) because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 63 mm bore drives a 16 mm rod over a short 10 mm stroke, with a male rod thread (B code) and 1/8" ports. The -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling.
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 clamping stations and slide plates. At 0.5 MPa plan on about 875 N of usable work force, roughly 89 kgf, so a 2:1 margin lets it lift about 74 kg vertically. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACED63X10, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston; speed range is 30-500 mm/s.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X10SB (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 ACPD63X10SB Is Used
Press-fit bushing station
The 10 mm stroke is ideal for pressing small bushings into housings on an automotive subassembly line, with 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa applied identically on the return stroke to eject the part.
Reciprocating slide carrier
A rod on each cover lets the back-end rod carry a sensor flag or guide a fixture plate on a packaging machine slide, while the through-rod resists rotation over the short 10 mm travel.
Label press head
On a bottling line the short body tucks under a guard where a full-length cylinder will not fit, pressing labels with about 89 kgf of usable force at 0.5 MPa.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X10SB with the ACED63X10SB
Choose this model when a job needs equal force in both directions from one compact body: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, identical either way thanks to the through-rod. If 1458.1 N is more than the task needs, the 50 mm bore ACPD gives 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need more, the 80 mm bore reaches 2356.2 N. The 10 mm stroke sits well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 63, so it is a catalog item, not a made-to-order build. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. This unit is discontinued; order ACED63X10 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting footprint first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X10SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X10SB FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, output is equal both ways: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke, using the rod-side area. At 1.0 MPa the maximum force is 297.4 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family. The current-production drop-in is ACED63X10, the ISO 21287 successor with the same 63 mm bore, 10 mm stroke and force class. Since the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. This model already carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches will work on it.
