This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED63X125B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED63X125B 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 ACPD63X125B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X125B 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 ACED63X125B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X125B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod exiting both covers, the ACPD63X125B delivers 1458.1 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 63 mm bore pushes 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa either way, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries.
This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACED63X125 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The 16 mm hard-chrome S45C rod runs at 30-500 mm/s between fixed TPU bumpers on a hard-anodized aluminium body. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 875 N (about 89 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model has no magnet fitted; order the optional -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X125B (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 ACPD63X125B Is Used
Symmetric CNC fixture clamping
The equal 1458.1 N force in both directions clamps and releases a machined housing with identical grip either way, and the through-rod keeps the clamp plate from rotating under side load.
Bidirectional pusher on a packaging line
One cylinder pushes cartons off a conveyor from either end at 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, halving the actuator count in a tight frame where the short body saves mounting length.
Reciprocating guide with flag sensing
The rear rod carries a switch flag for end-position detection on a slide table, while the front rod drives the load - add the optional -S magnet to enable CMSE / DMSE switches.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X125B with the ACED63X125B
At 1458.1 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore suits clamping and pressing fixtures in the 80-90 kg working-load range; step down to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) for lighter tooling or up to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for heavier presses. The male rod thread (B code) takes I/Y knuckles directly, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. Order the ACED63X125 as your current-production replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X125B
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X125B FAQ
Both directions are equal because the double rod means each stroke uses the rod-side area: 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. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 125 mm stroke sits within the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for the 63 mm bore.
Order the ACED63X125, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 63 mm bore, 125 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint. FA/FB flange, LB foot and the male rod thread carry over, and the fixed TPU bumpers at both ends remain part of the design.
