This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED63X120 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED63X120 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 ACPD63X120
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X120 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 120mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED63X120 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X120
A double acting compact cylinder with a through rod, the ACPD63X120 runs a 63 mm bore over a 120 mm stroke and pushes or pulls with the same 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 16 mm rod exits both covers, so the far end can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate while the through-rod resists rotation and side load. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight gantries and guarding. At 0.5 MPa the usable working effort is roughly 875 N, about 89 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin, so match parts up to that weight. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and this model is discontinued - the current drop-in is ACED63X120.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X120 (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 ACPD63X120 Is Used
Symmetric weld-fixture clamping
The through rod lets a fixture clamp from both covers with the same 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, ideal for a symmetric weld jig on a 120 mm stroke.
Pick-and-place lift head
With about 89 kg of practical vertical lift at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore raises loaded pallet plates in a packaging cell while the rear rod drives a position flag.
Conveyor pusher station
A 120 mm stroke and equal force both ways suit a diverting pusher that must retract boxes as firmly as it extends them on a bottling line.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X120 with the ACED63X120
At 1458.1 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore suits clamping and lifting in the 80-90 kg vertical class; step down to ACPD50 for 881.2 N or up to ACPD80 for 2356.2 N if the load differs. The 120 mm stroke sits well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Mount via FA/FB flange or LB foot on the ISO 21287 face, and add the -S code only if you need CMSE / DMSE switches - without it there is no magnet. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so use a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. Order ACED63X120 as the current replacement and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X120
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X120 FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, output 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 push never exceeds pull. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof.
This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACED63X120, which swaps the P for an E and matches the same 63 mm bore, 120 mm stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP follows the DIN standard. FA/FB flange and LB foot brackets bolt to the face, the 1/8" port is PT thread, and the female rod end is M10x1.5.
