This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED63X125 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED63X125 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 ACPD63X125
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X125 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 125mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED63X125 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X125
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD63X125 delivers 1458.1 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 63 mm bore and 125 mm stroke suit symmetric push-pull tooling where a single-rod body would be unbalanced. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short build, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a mirrored mounting face, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag on your fixture. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and the rod ends carry a female M10x1.5 thread. At 0.5 MPa the usable push is about 875 N once you plan for 0.6 of the rating, which lifts roughly 89 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued: order the ACED63X125, the current ISO 21287 drop-in, and confirm mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X125 (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 ACPD63X125 Is Used
Balanced push-pull transfer
A 63 mm through-rod applies 1458.1 N on both strokes at 0.5 MPa, ideal for a transfer arm that must clamp and release with identical force.
Rotational-resistant jig clamp
The 16 mm double rod on a 125 mm stroke resists side load and rotation in welding-fixture clamping where a single-rod body would twist.
Flag-driven position check
Mount a sensor flag on the rear rod of this 125 mm stroke unit to verify end positions on an automated assembly line; order the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X125 with the ACED63X125
For 125 mm of stroke at this force class, 1458.1 N both ways at 0.5 MPa covers medium clamping and synchronized push-pull work; step down to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) for lighter loads or up to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for heavier presses. Remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches. This unit is discontinued, so specify the ACED63X125 as the current-production equivalent.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X125
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X125 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 there is no push-pull difference. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short-body aluminium build cuts mounting length by about 50% versus an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and FA/FB flange or LB foot options. The ACPD63X125 is discontinued; the ACED63X125 is the current drop-in in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
